Find the answers you need.
We can manage make-to-stock, make-to-order, engineer-to-order, configure-to-order, repetitive, batch process, and project-driven manufacturing environments.
Data conversion is never easy but is manageable. We have some tools for popular systems like Syspro, Quickbooks, Dynamics and others, however the quality of your data will ultimately determine the complexity of the task. To make things easy - if you can provide us a few spreadsheets with data about your products, customers, suppliers and employees then we can have your system available for testing within a day or so.
We have a rapid onboarding system including a portal that accelerates the data conversion and learning cycles. Once we have your data as described above, then the longest part is getting your employees ready to use the system. Taking into account the time it could take from sign up to actual use including configuration workshops, training, UAT and cutover - the system can be ready for use within 6 to 12 weeks.
Yes absolutely. All sales channels (Store, Sales reps and eCommerce) all work off a common database and for business customers, pricing can be applied at the customer account level. What this means is that your business customers will have the same prices no matter if they came into a store, visited your website or in person with your sales reps - this is omni-channel sales.
We strive to eventually not have to generate any physical paperwork as this is not neither good for productivity nor the environment however, the reality is that customers are still going to want a paper document sometimes and in those cases, the paper invoice can be scanned and if signed by the customer, can be photographed and included as a digital record right on the spot by the driver.
From fast invoice production and distribution to having an online customer portal with all account balances available to the ability to take payments online, in-store and from sales and service reps. Reminder emails are automatically generated (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) with advanced tools for collections/receivables to increase their effectiveness.
