Business Tools
ACR Consultancy can provide any number of applications tailored to your business’ specific
requirement. While the applications benefit from being completely customized, they can be
interfaced with other systems the client may operate to provide a fully integrated solution.
All applications come with a Help function providing full user documentation.
Pricing Tools
Pricing Tools for both direct and indirect sales channels generating professional looking and
accurate quotes have been one of ACR Consultancy’s core services since its inception in 2003.
These are sales orientated applications that allow the user to generate a professional customer
quote based on all the given rules and parameters for one or more products or services. All
applications feature full security and can include any business approval schemes, e.g. finance
department approval of high discounts.
One tool, ACR Consultancy wrote for a international yacht sales company, allows the user
to see all the options available for a particular model in a wizard style and customise the final
specification. This version has interfaces to build customer contracts, statements and supplier
purchase orders.
Return on Investment (ROI) Tools
These applications help the end customer appreciate the overall financial benefit in switching
to a new service. Quite often these ROI tools run within a pricing tool reducing the amount of
data keying. This has been of particular benefit to telecommunications customers explaining the
benefits of Voice over IP versus traditional telephony.
Management Reporting
Reporting tools cover all aspects of the business from understanding the value of sales
funnels and the impact on revenue to complete management dashboards depicting any trends to
highlight any areas of excellence or concern. Quality reports ensure that more time is spent
understanding the causes of variances to make informed management decisions and less on compiling
data and building reports.
An ACR Consultancy reporting model, written for the world's leading mobile devices manufacturer, allowed it's Marketing
department to project manage and report on all the marketing deliverables in launching new devices to the market
Order Management and Billing
ACR Consultancy can provide a completely customized billing system with an order management
function.
An ACR Consultancy billing system allowed
one customer to perform a complete bill run in a matter of minutes that previously took 2 people
3 days to perform manually.
Other Business Tools
Other customer-specific applications and databases can be designed to simplify business
systems, thereby eliminating the need for investment in more expensive off-the-shelf software
requiring extensive customisation.
An internet travel customer contracted ACR Consulting to write a custom database,
management reporting and dministration application that interfaced between the existing
in-house internet bookings system and SAGE accounting package.
