Accurate
If you are the only person involved with the writing,
entering, processing, and shipping of orders at your company,
then accuracy is of little importance since you know exactly
what is going on. However, for all of the other people out there
who are but a piece in the corporate puzzle, accuracy is what
differentiates a good day from bad day.
Completely electronic: Data used by OrderXpert is
first imported from your corporate business software system. Orders are
then created on the scanner, downloaded to a PC and then exported to
back your business software , so that no manual data entry is required. This eliminates
errors caused by misinterpreted handwriting or manual keying
mistakes. Direct interfaces are
available for most accounting systems, including ACCPAC,
MAS-90/200, QuickBooks, Great Plains, Macola, and many others.
Automatic pricing:
All of the product prices are stored on the handheld, so orders
are automatically priced in real-time as the order is created. A
running order total can be viewed at any time.
Barcode scanning: while manual data entry through a
keyboard results in an error for each 300 entries made, barcode
scanning is nearly perfect and in the worst case results in an
error for each 1.7 million scans. OrderXpert software further
reduces the possibility of errors by checking each scanned value
against values in your data. If an exact match is not found, the
software will not add the product to the order. Mishipped
products become a thing of the past.
Credit card swiping: while you can certainly manually
type credit card information into the system, the use of a USB
credit card swipe reader eliminates manual entry errors.
