Lifting Gear Sales & Hire Administration System with
Sage Integration
|
Below are some screen shots of the system with brief
captions. If you think this system might be suitable for
your business then please contact us for licensing
information. Purpose: Designed to manage the
entire process of the sale and hire of
lifting equipment. The primary objective
is to reduce
the administration time in producing
quotations, sales orders,
delivery notes, test certificates and
invoices which, when produced manually,
require a significant amount of effort. |
|
Single point of entry
means that once the quotation has been created the same details
are used as the basis for the subsequent stages and all printed
documents; i.e. orders, delivery notes and
invoices can be
created at the touch of a button.
This system has
indirect links to
Sage whereby invoices are exported to a data file for
Sage to
import.

Follow the Complete Sales
Process...
Easily create a new Sales Job and select or create a customer
and delivery address;
Add items to the order by selecting them from a list. Prices
and descriptions are entered automatically for you. Just enter
quantities and any discount. The system will warn if items are
not in stock;
Once the order is complete the stock is Allocated. The
Delivery Note and Test Certificates are generated at the press
of a button; (examples further down page)
This is the 'on screen' Delivery Note. This detail is printed
onto multi-part forms that have the lines, borders, company
details and logo pre-printed;
The system will allocate ID Marks and print a Test Certificate
for each item that requires them. Certificates are printed to
plain paper in a laser or inkjet printer and have been designed
to meet industry regulations;
Invoice the Sales Job simply by confirming the VAT and Nominal
codes and clicking 'Invoice';
This 'on-screen' Invoice detail is sent to the same printer
as Delivery Notes. All the multi-part documents utilise the same
multi-part stationery so you only need one dot matrix printer
and one form design;
All items sold are automatically entered the Sales Stock
Ledger for traceability and reporting;
INVOICE MANAGEMENT & SAGE EXPORT
The Financial part of the system controls Interim Hire
Invoicing and the export of invoices to Sage; (Interim Hire
Invoicing will automatically invoice all items on
continuing hire. This feature alone saves many hours each
week.)
Easily review all the latest invoices prior to export to Sage.
Can be run daily, weekly or any other convenient interval;
EXPORTING FROM THE DATABASE
Clicking "Export" from the main Financials form gives a summary
before you commit to the Export. Sales and Hire Invoices are
exported plus any new or amended Customer and Supplier records.
This ensure Sage is always synchronised with the system;
IMPORTING INTO SAGE
From Sage, choose File, Import to see the dialog below. This
allows the import of the data exported by the Sales and Hire
system;
On completion, Sage confirms the details of the import;
We now see the customer's record in Sage, synchronised with
the details in the system;
And we can see the newly imported Sales Invoices allocated to
the customer's account;
The Hire Process...
The hire process is similar in operation to sales but also
accommodates the complexities of On and OFF hiring specific
items and tracking returns and interim invoicing. For more
details please contact us.
SUMMARY
This Sales & Hire System is a real must for any independent
lifting gear company. Existing customers estimate the time
savings for producing Delivery Notes, Test Certificates and
Invoices alone is equivalent to one permanent member of staff.
As a
result our customers have been able to cope with considerable
expansion without employing additional staff and significantly
increased the administration workload the original team can
handle.
