Before Clarity 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 It might go something like 4 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?
