Customer Management with JBitPro Cloud ERP


How does customer management help you run your business?  One way is being able to quickly find their contact information.  That all starts with adding the customer to the ERP system.  This Article will show you how to add a new Customer and the Contacts associated with that Customer.

What are Customers?

In the JBit Pro ERP system, a Customer represents a Company.  A Customer can have many Contacts associated with it in various roles.  So, lets start with adding a Customer Record:

  1. Login to your JBit Pro account
  2. Click the “Customers” link on the Customers Tab
  3. You will see 2 buttons, “Back” and “New”, click New
  4. Fill in the Information for the New Company, required fields are:
    • Company Name
    • Address 1
    • City
    • State
    • Zip
    • Phone
  5. Click “Create”
  6. Congratulations you just added your First new Customer!

What are Customer Contacts?

Customer Contacts are the people you talk to when you need to communicate with the Company they are associated with.  To add a new Customer Contact Record:

  1. Login to your JBit Pro account
  2. Click the “Customer Contacts” link on the Customers tab
  3. You will see, again, 2 buttons, “Back” and “New”, click New
  4. Fill in the Information for the new Contact, required fields are:
    • CustomerId (Company)
    • First Name
    • Last Name
    • Phone
    • Email
  5. Click “Create”
  6. Congratulations you just added your First new Customer Contact!

But I have 1000 Existing Companies to Add!?

We are working on the Data Import section of the ERP currently, which will allow you to import a list  of Companies, and their Contacts.  This feature will also provide the Data Import template so you can import the information confidently and accurately.

Conclusion

If you are looking for a simple and easy ERP system, give us a try.  A few features for the Data Management module that we are currently working on, are:
  • Importing Customer and Customer Contacts
  • Importing Inventory
  • Importing Bins
  • Importing Warehouses
  • Mass Deletes (Administrators only!)
Please let us know in the comments if you think of any other features we should add to the Data Management Module.

Let's Hire a Consultant! Why that is a bad idea...

You're in the market for an ERP system.  You have narrowed your search down to 3 major brands, SAP, Oracle Netsuite, and SAGE.  You are reviewing the costs involved, and to this point are still unsure of which one to pick.  Each of those above have the same recurring problem that makes it very hard to decide which platform to go with.  They all have the same core benefits - the promise of making more money by managing your P&L closely, and automating the important tasks that keep your business alive.  But when you balance the cost vs the increased revenue it will bring, by reducing your losses and increasing your efficiency, you find that the increased revenue will cover the new ERP system.

This is where the ERP supplier has done their homework.  You need an ERP, and you need one now.  You start contacting the ERP providers on your list, and they all give you the sales pitch about what their system can do, over the other guys.  How much you will save by going with their option,…

Family Time is VERY Important!

It's the beginning of another new year, and you have a long list of things that you want to accomplish.  One of those things is more important than any of the others.  More important than making more money, more important than loosing weight, more important than exercising more.  What is important that these other goals, so much that it makes them seems small in comparison?  Spending more quality time with your family!  It is one of the most sought after goals around the world, year after year.  We say it every year "This is the year I spend more time with my family!"  And year after year we can't find the way for this goal to be accomplished.
The Problem... To accomplish anything in our lives we must take time away from other pursuits, and use that "bought" time to work on our goal.  Why is this a problem?  All of us have said these words at some point "...there just isn't enough time in the day..."  This is a common problem for anyone who is…
