Questions from machinery dealers
Can I quote a machine and take a deposit on the same screen?
Yes. Quotes are created at the till or in the back office with validity dates and conditions, converted to an order in one step, and a deposit taken with the balance due on delivery or collection.
Can the supplier deliver straight to my customer?
Yes. Direct-delivery purchase orders send the goods from the supplier to the customer, and back-to-back purchasing syncs the real cost to the sale.
Which machinery suppliers are connected?
Trend Machinery with a catalogue feed and direct ordering, Festool purchase ordering via EDI, and Toolbank, Draper, Sealey and others for the accessories and consumables around the machines.
Does it handle servicing and repairs?
Repairs booking with structured advice notes covering model, fault, serial number and warranty is available as an optional module.
