DISPLAY - Running under a Windows 95 or 98 operating system,
the display is similar to that of other commonly used Windows-based
applications. So, adjusting to the use of PowerSales™
is easy because there is less training, less downtime and
a shorter implementation cycle making it a more cost-effective
solution.
Menus, icons, tabs and buttons make PowerSales™ an application
that even a novice computer user can quickly come to grips
with.
The colour display (GUI - Graphical User Interface) makes
PowerSales™ an application that is pleasant to work with
and allows the sales rep to recognise, at a glance, the screen
currently viewed. Graphical presentations also appear in full
colour enhancing a viewer's discernment of the display.
Should it be necessary, the window displayed can be resized
from full screen as per normal Windows applications.
MENU & ICONS - Along with the standard menu bar at the
top of the display, icons contained in a bar on the left are
entry points to the particular facility available within the
application. These include Customer Operations, Product Catalogue,
Documents, a Multimedia function and Communications as well
as system configuration options.
TABS - Tabs are contained within several screens allowing
easy access to other displays of information. Clicking on
these tabs brings this information to the fore without changing
screens.
BUTTONS - Buttons are also commonly used making selection
quick and easy.
CUSTOMER OPS - Details of customers, including name, address,
phone etc, can be seen at a glance and contact information
is displayed with a single click. Accounts Receivable (AR)
particulars, specifically credit limits and outstanding credit
amounts, are also displayed with a single click. Should a
customer exceed his credit limit, a distinct identifier is
displayed alerting the sales rep immediately.
Notes can be made by the sales rep in relation to a customer
or other general matter. These are for his benefit and serve
as timely reminders when contacting the customer, dealing
with a product item or any other situation that may need attention.
COMMUNICATIONS - The Communications function is the resultant
step in the whole procedure. It transfers what information
has been acquired so that the business transaction can be
completed and accurate accounting records maintained. Data
is transmitted by proven communication means via normal landline
or over the Telecom or Vodafone Cellular Networks. It is sent
to a back-office server application for processing. (See Services
for further information on Facilities
Management.)
