The following are comments made by Total AV, a Audio Visual Contractor who has used The Project Systemâ software for 5 years.

Quicker Estimates -

“4 to 5 estimates can be generated in an hour per sales rep. Previously it took at least an hour per estimate.”
“Sales reps can respond with an e-mail quote within 30 minutes of a price request from a customer.”
(he has been told that his competitors take at least 1 day to respond).

Increased Revenue without Increase Overhead -

over the past 3 years his business has increased 3 fold without adding any additional administrative staff to oversee projects.
(increased volume without increased overhead has led to increased profit percentage).

Better Response to Customers -

· with all of his projects' data residing in The Project System, a customer's question can be answered in 2 - 3 minutes.

· (previously it could take a half a day to track down the status of an order).

Ordering Errors Reduced & Restocking Made Easier and More Accurate -

· human error in estimating has been significantly reduced and resulted in fewer ordering errors.

restocking of AV package components have been excellent with near zero "out of stock" situations.

Background

The Company:

The Project System is the Complete Business Computer System for Contractors and Integrators. Companies that install: sound systems, nurse call systems, fire alarm systems, computer cabling, burglar systems, cctv, video systems, systems contracting in general. Other companies that are using Project include Video Wholesale Distributors, Audio Visual Specialists, Video & Film Duplicators, Telephone System Specialists, and more.

For 18 years, Project has changed and improved the way companies do business!

The Application:

The System SIMPLIFIES and SPEEDS up the repetitive work of writing ORDERS, PROPOSALS, etc. and then keeping track of them as PROJECTS.

While writing your Proposal/Project, you have access to a FULL INVENTORY SYSTEM using Part Numbers to request Item Descriptions, Prices, In Status etc., including Rental Items.

During Editing, Line Items are AUTOMATICALLY MULTIPLIED, EXTENDED and TAXED if appropriate.

This same text can be the basis of an INVOICE. After the Invoice is created, the Inventory System is updated. Projects can be INVOICED in total or partially, line by line. Data from the Invoice can then be sent to various accounting systems' Accounts Receivable.

The System has 22 STATUSES or CATEGORIES, which you DEFINE to suit your company. You can change the STATUSES as the Project progresses.

You can LOCATE a Project QUICKLY by Project Number, Status, Client Number, Serial Number, Client Purchase Order, and list them on the SCREEN or PRINTER for Follow Up.
