Marketing Benefits::

Online Price Quotation - as it is not always possible to provide a fixed price, this module allows pricing to be calculated online using criteria provided by your print suppliers ready for you to pass on to your clients. Alternately an enquiry mechanism can be offered where details of the enquiry are captured on a form and held on a database ready to be retrieved by the printer.

Repeat Orders - visits by existing clients can be identified, and alternative routes for quicker order placing provided based on past job reference numbers.

Client Details - individual client details can be held in a database showing any relevant information from account number to specific packing requirements for retrieval and amendment by account managers and sales people at any time and anywhere.

Reporting on Product/Service Spend - reports can be created online for you, the printer and the client to give expenditure profiles by product and/or client on each product and service offered. This allows the print management company to assess which products are more lucrative per customer and build on the information obtained, whilst the client can take reports offline for internal use easily.
