What problems did you face and how did Blue Alligator fix it?
“We’ve always traditionally had an order pad, order sheet, duplicate copies that will be written on so we can write our code number and price on it. We have quite a lot of different colours of stones so we would have to specify those on our sheets. We would also have in the office a lot of companies order sheets coming in either from trade shows or our agents out on the road.
The main problem we had with this was handwriting, codes being done wrongly we have all number codes which in a way don’t mean anything so it’s very easy to transpose numbers so we get the wrong codes, occasionally getting the wrong stones, so just mistakes that are really easy to make when you’re maybe selling a 100 products to a customer at least. We were finding we couldn’t match up the orders with actually what our products were so we were missing out on products being sold. Then these orders will then have to be edited onto our system for either invoicing or to produce a sales order.”
