How Vision Works
Vision, the Company's flagship product, has been developed to provide a single solution for the entire business process. Vision is continually updated with all of the latest developments - it provides everything needed to control the administration process.
How Vision Helps Your Business
Like all the best ideas, Vision is simple. It takes data from a sales order and carries the information through to every part of your business. You enter data just once, the system collates this for stock updates, purchase orders, delivery notes, invoices and ledgers. It even meets all your accounting requirements from management accounts to final ledgers.
Vision offers you a multiplicity of management controls and information.
Vision allows you to use the wholesaler's stock as though it were your own. In this area alone, many users find Vision pays for itself through reduced stock. But more importantly this electronic talking enables you to tell your customers about product availability, and any alternatives without having to call back at a later time.
Vision has the capacity to handle any promotion you may decide upon to give you a competitive edge, these can be by client, product, or even level of spend. And naturally, the more you personalise your service to your clients, the more they will order from you.
The Sales Cycle
Orders can be received electronically via EasyOrder, the Web ordering system fully integrated to Vision as well as fax, phone, or even in person. Customers will be instantly identified on the system which offers contacts, invoice and delivery addresses etc. as well as providing an instant credit check before allowing you to proceed.
The Order Is Processed
Vision quickly finds the desired items, either by description, product code, or even the client's own product reference. In the event that any item is out of stock either internally or at the wholesaler, you are alerted and have easy access to details of alternative products and back order dates.
As the order is processed your stock is automatically updated preventing other users from double selling the same item and causing customer dissatisfaction. Simultaneously price terms specific to the customer are automatically applied to the order.
One of the major advantages of Vision is its flexibility. Prices may be updated automatically in line with suppliers price changes. Vision can make full use of Atomic Data as well as utilising various terms files from wholesalers, dealer groups and other suppliers to ensure that your cost prices are always up to date. The comprehensive price tools also enable the creation of promotional terms which may be applied generally or to specific customers for a limited period. These may be supported by direct mail shots which can in turn be followed up by telesales activity.
Saving hours of manpower and eliminating mistakes, Vision generates all relevant documentation from delivery notes to invoices and statements. Suppliers may be automatically contacted with your purchasing requirements via electronic supplier links, EDI, or faxed direct from the system.
The Control You Need
A business runs on up-to-the-minute information. Without it, decisions cannot be properly made. Vision provides this information easily. It gives you a full picture of your business day by day, week by week, month by month.
Information is available right across the system, from turnover by rep, customer and product. Full stock and margin analysis is available as you require. In addition the powerful Control Room allows you to design reports customised to your specific needs using Crystal Reports, alternatively you can export data for further analysis..
Debtors
Controlling debts is a vital ingredient of any successful business. Vision flags those whose payments lag behind and can automatically produce the formal letters to notify those who have failed to pay.
Stocktakes
Vision makes stocktaking easy and economic. It offers comprehensive facilities for either partial or complete counts. Partial counts are a useful tool which can save expensive shutdowns.
Vision Is For You
Whether large or small, Vision can give a vital boost to your business. The only criteria is the drive for success. If you want to succeed, to expand, to trade and compete with the leading businesses within our industry, then the power and flexibility that Vision can give you is essential.
