Martyn Price Fasteners reflects: "We were originally talking to OGL for a number of years before our decision to fully digitalise the business in 2000. OGL had visited us a number of times and had further highlighted the benefits of a fully integrated ERP system. Previously we had a bespoke system but most of our processes were still manual so we were able to computerise the business thanks to OGL."
"We were visited by a few other IT companies, but the front end and sales modules of OGL Software really stood out for us. The system would allow us to be more proactive which was something we were aiming for. We had demonstrations from another provider, but in the end OGL was the right match for our business."
"It has increased the visibility of our processes. We use a dashboard for current sales and quotations that tells us the information in real-time. OGL Software helps us track customer information instantly which is very helpful in terms of day to day sales. The information being instantly available has helped all our processes across the business.
"OGL Software helps businesses understand customer buying trends and improve customer retention. It can be configured to display your company's key performance indicators (KPIs) so your sales employees have continuous, real-time access to performance stats. Key customer information can also be viewed using OGL Software by your field-based team."
OGL Software can provide user-friendly reports to show your best / worst performers in terms of customers, sales staff, product ranges, business types and more.
In addition, you'll be able to accurately understand seasonal sales fluctuations and run promotions accordingly. The visibility of your sales performance provides you with the knowledge to make the best tactical and strategic decisions to drive sales upwards.
