The Basic RPMS System is composed of three features.
The Invoice and Commission Tracking feature allows entry of invoices from factory commission statements, creating commission statements for individual salespeople and management reports by principal, sales rep, and customer. Any report can be seen on screen before printing. The basic system also has “snapshots,” which are on-line reports. Requiring little or no extract or processing time to produce, snapshots are real-time views of sales and commission history over the last 48 months for principals, sales reps, and customers. Both reports and snapshots can be directly exported to popular spreadsheets like Excel and Lotus 1-2-3.
The Commission Reconciliation feature allows agencies to determine if they’ve been paid by their principals, and to create commission statements for their sales reps. Using an intuitive “check-off” procedure, reconciling a complex commission statement is as simple as reconciling a checkbook. The commission reconciliation feature also provides aging reports and cash flow forecasts.
The POS (Point of Sale) feature is primarily intended for electronic components reps. POS tracks sales from distributors, for manufacturers, to customers. Reports can focus on “direct sales” (OEM) or POS sales. Distributor-based reports can be run that display business by customer or by principal. POS can also be used by Gift industry reps and Seasonal industry reps to track shows or seasons. Any rep firm can use POS to track another entity in each transaction.
The Pro RPMS System contains all the Basic system features, plus the Order, Quote, and Sample Tracking feature. This feature provides an order-entry vehicle to monitor the status of orders. Shipments and partial shipments are handled without re-creating entries. Quotes and samples can be tracked using the same data forms. Backlog reports include expediting reports and late-order reports based on schedule date.
Additional Features can be added to either the Basic or Pro systems.
The Customer and Prospect Direct Marketing feature allows accounts and contacts to be coded with user-definable classification information (e.g., SIC codes, interest codes, jobs, titles, Zip codes, etc.) then extracted based on user-supplied criteria. The extracted group can then be used for mail merge lists with popular word processors, for mailing labels, for call reports, and for cross-sectional sales and commissions reporting.
The Sales Forecasting feature uses sales or orders history information to predict and forecast future business. Built-in spreadsheets and global manipulation functions allow prediction and measurement of forecast achieved by customer, sales rep, and principal. Forecast performance reports are suitable to measure internal quotas. The Line Potential Analyzer feature uses commission rate history to determine sales necessary to gain certain commission amounts from various principals.
The E-Data (Electronic Data) feature provides for uploading capabilities for electronically received data. Orders, acknowledgments, invoices, POS reports, and commission statements can be received and/or transmitted electronically to eliminate data entry. Cross-reference capability is built in, and audit and error results are automatic. RPMS resells and supports Gentran Director from Sterling Commerce for EDI translation software, and also uploads many customer formats.
The Security feature allows passwords to limit access to View Only or No Access based on feature, function and/or sales rep.
Additional Seats can be added to either the Basic or Pro system, allowing simultaneous access for two or more users on a LAN or WAN.
Additional Data Sets can be added, allowing multiple rep companies to be managed on the same PC or server.
