Before Clarity

It might go something like… An enquiry is taken and needs quoting asap! Who logs it and who quotes it?

The quote has to be raised: do you use Excel; is it a bit finger in the air; are you 100% sure it’s accurate?

The quote has to be relayed to the customer: is it typed in word, emailed, posted or verbal?

Who’s task is it to chase? You’re busy: does it get lost and you lose out to a competitor?

If you get the order you have to use a handwritten job card and manually put into production for planning! How do you get full visibility of where the job is?

How do you know you have the stock: do you need to raise a Purchase Order?

Who chases the deadline for the customer to keep them happy and where is the information?

Once a job is completed who raises the delivery note? How does the invoice get raised for your accounts department?

Too many manual systems

Too time consuming

Too much paperwork

Too much reliance on you!

Too many lost opportunities

Too much left to chance with costs

Too much duplication

Not scalable

After Clarity

It could be like…An enquiry is taken and added to the customer record card immediately with full visibility to anyone who needs the information.

An accurate quote can be raised in minutes by choosing the components from a pre-populated price list giving you true costs and margin for the job.

The quote is emailed directly to the customer as a professional looking quotation on a pre designed template.

Automated tasks will trigger the necessary follow up to chase the quote so you don’t lose out.

When you get confirmation, Works Order is generated and your job will be scheduled instantly into production according to your capacity.

You’ll have a real time view on the progress of your job from start to finish, giving you total control and flexibility.

When the job is complete a delivery note can be printed and the information passed straight to the accounts department.

How does that sound?

No paperwork

No manual interventions

No more reliance on just you!

Accurate costing

No duplication

Full Traceability

Less Stress

Less hours

Extremely scalable

ContactsOne simple place to go to find all of your contact information. Simply import all of your existing contacts and easily store addresses, phone numbers, emails and key details on the contact card.

The more you know, the more personalised you can be. So use the default fields or create your own user fields to store all the priceless information to make the relationship more personal. It’s really flexible!

ActivitiesLife is so much easier when all the information is at your fingertips. Your team engages with customers in a supremely confident and knowledgeable way. They know which buttons to press, and how to plan their activities to win trust, confidence and orders.

Log all calls and tag them to the contacts. Easily pull up previous conversations, schedule call backs, meetings, events, site surveys and more in a shared calendar that pushes data to your Microsoft Outlook calendar. Click to see a history of any activity logged against quotes and orders.

Having fast access to your entire customer relationship using Activities makes you invincible.

MarketingGenerate leads and hit unprecedented sales levels. Using Marketing can boost your sales and communications by orchestrating clever and cost effective campaigns

Clarity will tag and track lead sources at both contact and quotation level, giving you traceability on how much you’ve spent, how many quotes have been generated and which leads have converted into confirmed orders.

SalesClarity breeds success across your team and makes deals easier to win, thanks to the Sales module.

Opportunity management is simple in Clarity. No more guesswork or hunches. Personalised dashboard views of your pipeline gives you focus, allowing you to see expected, won and lost opportunities filtered by sales person, date range and more.

Save your favourite views as templates. Drill into an opportunity with a simple click and get straight to the quote. Analyse your results and find out where you can get even better.

Price ListsRelax, the price is always right and margins are high! In Clarity you can manage prices easily from one central place.

Multiple price lists allow you to clearly differentiate between products from alternate suppliers and those you produce yourselves, as well as items you may have positioned for your WebShops.

If a price is changed then it updates across the whole system, so you don’t get trapped quoting old prices next time. Minimum and fixed margins can be set so sales always make the desired margin, and price breaks can be applied to volume quantities, plus you can allocate customer-specific pricing for those clients you think of first.

Quotes & JobsFaster, more accurate quoting. Clarity’s unbeatable quoting and estimating module drives you to sell more at top margin.

Quoting fast wins orders over your competitors. Quote for any job of any size. Bespoke quotes are easily built from standard products or a make-up of time and materials. Create revisions and repeat jobs with a few clicks using historic or latest pricing. Email PDFs to your customers whilst they’re on the phone.

InvoicesMore cash, less hassle. Clarity manages the final part of the order processing system so your cash flow stays at full throttle.

Create partial or full invoices or credit notes. Manage repeat invoices from our unique ‘recurring’ templates. Search for historic invoices easily and create batch and recurring invoices using simple processes.

ReportsHolistic business information drives better decision making, increasing growth and profitability.

Access to over 200 standard and unlimited customised reports from all across your company gives you the visibility - the clarity - that you’ve been dreaming of.

Use your new found power to expand into new markets. Bring Clarity to your business.
