NEW TRACKIT SOLUTION
FOR
INSTALLERS
Business Micros has revealed an exciting
new software package specifically for
installers working in the retail sector.
Branded Track-IT, it promises to help
installers work faster and more efficiently
than ever before.
Track-IT enables installers to track every
order they receive from the moment it is
logged as a lead right through to the moment
an after sales call is made. It gives them
complete control of their business and means
they can plan, organise and manage virtually
every aspect direct from a smartphone,
tablet, laptop or PC whenever it suits them.
Users of Track-IT can search for details of
any installation by address, job number or
customer name and see instantly all of the
information relating to that project. They
can scan in documents such as surveys, order
acknowledgements and fitting notes and
allocate these to each job as well as adding
customer feedback, remedials or snagging
information.
They can also use the software to plan
daily, weekly and monthly sales, surveying
and installation activity and can incorporate
within this a staff calendar taking into
account absences, annual leave and training
days.
An online video showing a walk-through
of Track-IT will be available soon on
the Business Micros website at www.

church was getting best value for its precious
resources. Mr Howles explained, “I wanted
to get a clear picture of what was involved in
replacing the roofline to make sure we had
high quality long lasting materials fitted. I
found the information on the website about
roofline and the different products really
useful, and liked the fact that we would get a
50 year lifetime guarantee with the products
provided by Freefoam. We also needed to
raise some further funds so being able to get a
realistic quotation from a local installer via the
site was excellent.”
The quotation request was passed to long
established roofline specialist Homeclad Ltd,
based in Stourbridge, who quickly arranged a
full survey and itemised quotation. Work took
place to replace roofline on the main façade
of the church and the attached community
buildings, a total of 50 metres of fascia.
