Following last week’s article, B2B – The 4 W’s of Job Creation, I wanted to explore the different ways to dispatch or ‘hand over’ the job to the technician to perform the work. Within simPRO there are many different options for dispatching jobs out to the technicians using mobile devices or Navman Wireless but first I want to take a look at the basic method of using simple printed job cards.
There are a couple ways to print job cards and which way you go about it depends on what suits you and how you relate the job information to your technician
simPRO is constantly evolving. Due to the growing number of companies choosing to implement simPRO to help them run their business more efficiently we are always coming across new and better ways to get the job done.
March’s Tips & Tricks include – RECS/VECS, Custom Client Fields, Plant Upgrades, Call Centre Upgrades, Employee Preferences
RECS / VEECS
A while ago the government announced an Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and part of that involved trading Renewable Energy Credits from items used to offset carbon emissions generated by some of the big boys. However for the contractor managing the POS for these RECS (and in Victoria also the VEECS – Victorian Energy Efficiency Credits) was next to impossible.
To help alleviate the problem for our clients we have developed simPRO to be able to track the RECS (and VEECs) Read the rest of this entry »
Do you do heaps of smaller jobs that could be invoiced without manual intervention or checking every single one? What about using recurring jobs or jobs from the maintenance planner that you know are already at the correct rate? You ask “Why oh why do I need to go into each one to send the invoice?”
“How can I be assured that the financial data in simPRO matches our accounts program?”
This is one of the most common questions I get from concerned bookkeepers and Accountants regarding the use of simPRO. One of the most important things to do here is to ensure that the security profiles of your users are adjusted to ensure that transactions cannot be created, deleted or edited by a staff member who does not understand the accounting implications of doing so.
If a financial transaction in simPRO has been posted to your accounts program and that transaction is to be altered or deleted, the user who has rights to do this will receive a warning message in red. The alteration will need to be manually adjusted in the accounting program as well.
The list below contains a step by step procedure that should really be followed at the end of month to ensure that your simPRO and accounts package reconcile. It could also be followed for the whole financial year when the accounts are being closed off. Read the rest of this entry »
At simPRO we know a lot, and one thing we know for certain is that getting client feedback on the development direction of simPRO is a high priority. With that in mind it was South Australia’s turn to host a user forum on Wednesday the 24th of February in Glenelg.
This was the first user forum held in Adelaide and proved to be a great day full of ideas, feedback and audience participation. Twenty seven clients, new and old as well as some prospective customers were put in mixed groups that changed throughout the day. This meant that by day’s end everyone knew everyone, which created a great setting not just for sharing ideas with simPRO staff, but with each other.
The first workshop for the day was on development ideas for the future development of simPRO. Read the rest of this entry »
In most service environments there is a high level of competition for your buyer’s attention. And it’s the same on the Internet, too. Most people venturing into their first website have a somewhat misguided version of how the Internet will help their business.
There seems to be a belief that the Kevin Costner’s Field of Dreams movie line, “If you build it, they will come” applies to websites.
It’s as if you build a website and suddenly hundreds of new customers will appear. That just because you’ve built a website the search engines will suddenly give you a page 1 ranking.
The reality is that if you consider how many websites there are competing for the search engine’s attention, and then consider that the search engines rank pages, not sites, you get some idea of the degree of difficulty. Read the rest of this entry »
Wish your subcontractors would start using a system that integrates with your simPRO?
Wish you could simply send a job straight into your subcontractors system?
For a limited time Acorn Software is offering you the option to give a full copy of simPRO Lite to your subcontractors.
That’s a saving of $480+gst!
This way you will be able to send jobs to the subcontractor directly out of your simPRO Enterprise which will appear into their simPRO Lite system for processing. How easy is that? Read the rest of this entry »
