EasySales – A Lean Baan Utility: Trimold

I am happy to write this reference for e-Ventus as they helped us develop a tool that greatly enhanced our sales process. We wrote a front-end program and passed off a file to e-Ventus and they were able to create a new tool for us through our BaaN ERP system. Because of the tool, we now use a 1D barcode system to scan our boxes to ship to our customers which then takes the data and accurately transcribes it to the Invoice in a very accurate manner.

e-Ventus built the tool that interfaced between BaaN and the scanning system. Thomas worked very well with our IT department and completed the job on time, on budget and with no issues. It was a very positive experience.

What the e-Ventus created tool has done is allow us to eliminate one person from that department and put them in a profit producing role; this alone saved us a lot of money and allowed us now to make more money. The tool now processed the total order in about 3 minutes whereas before the tool it took us about 6 hours to process an all daily orders! With the tool, each order is now mistake free. We would have 2 or 3 calls a week due to keystroke errors and those have now been totally eliminated. Those previous errors would cost us about 6 hours of labor time each week. If I calculate in the time saving, the personnel savings, the improved productivity, the reduction of errors and increased efficiency, I would estimate the ROI to be less than 15 weeks!
In short, the Sales Import Tool:

  • Saved time
  • Increased efficiency
  • Improved accuracy
  • Made our customers happier
  • Freed up one person to more productive functions

I would highly recommend e-Ventus and their sales automation tool for any BaaN ERP system.
