Approval Management

Intended for larger companies where business processes dictate approvals are required on particular transactions before allowing the transactions to proceed. Flexible State configurations and audit trail are available.

Asset Tracking

Service Contracts are as important, if not more important, than the initial sale. Managing contracts, however, can be a clerical nightmare and, if not maintained properly, can result in lost revenue and poor customer service.

If your company issues service contracts and/or wants to maintain a comprehensive database of equipment located at your clients’ sites, this module makes it easy to do so. The asset-tracking functions not only help in the service operation but also can be used as a marketing tool to send correspondence about new products, upgrades, etc. to existing clients.

Before, everything was on paper, but this is so easy that you can email invoices, send it through and get on with your day. All info can be collected right away, typed into the app and sent out. So even if it’s stored and in the database, it stays there and it’s off the tech’s plate.
