OptimumNet Saves You Time and Money

Online ordering has three main advantages over a standard system. First, it removes steps from the process, which reduces opportunities for error and saves time and money. Second, you will gain instant access and control of your inventory. You won't be required to wait on monthly reports, or wait for a Customer Service Representative to look up information over the phone. Third, the online ordering system has many features which will give you increased control of your cost centers.

Increased Control of Cost Centers - Even with the aggregate buying system, if you give buying power to multiple personnel, how do you assure that your cost centers are not requisitioning too much of a given product or requisitioning the wrong product? OptimumNet offers increased control with a large degree of flexibility. The system allows you to set up your account for multiple users at three different levels: Shoppers, Buyers, and Approvers. Shoppers can requisition forms for their own departments, but their orders are not sent through until a pre-assigned Approver reviews the order and forwards it into the ordering system. Buyers are allowed to shop and approve their own orders but do not approve other orders. Additionally, accounts can be set up with limitations on the available item choices for various cost centers. User names control where the items requisitioned are shipped as well as provide the cost center information needed to manage the bank's budget. You simplify ordering for your departments and increase your control at the same time. Also, with access to the internet, these cost centers can track the status of their own orders.

The Clear Advantage - OptimumNet will add consistency to your future purchasing costs. Materials and shipping costs will increase as you add additional cost centers; however, your control and accounting costs remain relatively the same. Furthermore, tracking and verifying orders from multiple users takes significantly less time with OptimumNet compared to placing multiple orders with multiple vendors. Instituting the control features of an online ordering system saves time and money, eliminating costly follow-ups and corrections. The audit trail for all expenditures is clear and concise. The system is safe; it uses the software and computers which are already in place. You can paradoxically allow your cost centers greater control in their operation while giving your head office more control of your cost centers. If you are not already using a system of this nature, you need to investigate it. This is not only the process of the future...this is the process of the present.
