DealerLink™ is an inventory / order processing solution designed for franchise operations / dealer distribution networks as well as companies with multiple branches.
The key to DealerLink's success is in its simplistic approach to operational use. It has been designed to be used "offline" whereby users can perform tasks such as checking latest stock pricing / discontinued stock and entering or editing of purchase orders.
Once the user(s) has completed entering or editing purchase orders for the day/week or even hour – they can then simply connect to the internet and upload the orders to the "head office" (Master Distributor / franchise / supplier) back office system. Confirmation of orders received and processed can also be configured by the head office to notify the user.
Once connected - other key features include the automatic downloading of latest price files if locally downloaded price file is out of date, filtering of allowed stock on an individual basis depending on what you want to allow the dealer/branch to order as well as allowing stock lookups to check availability (stock in hand at head office).
As DealerLink™ is used (installed) at a local level and its use of compression methods, it only requires a dial up connection to perform its uploading of orders and downloading of latest price files, negating the need for all dealer/braches to have large dedicated internet connections.
