FIT SHOW 2016 QUICK, EASY AND READY TO ORDER British manufacturer, Origin, launched what it claims is a revolutionary online quoting and ordering system at this year’s FIT Show. »»Origin’s Sale Safe (OSS) is according to the company, the first system of its kind and will help its trade partners to quote and order products from the company’s Origin Home range with ease, accuracy and efficiency. Origin, which manufactures bi-folding doors and windows, designed, developed and built the system in house to improve the ease and speed of ordering, as well as minimising the risk of any costly mistakes. By simplifying the overall process associated with ordering, it means that Origin’s trade customers will be able to save time, turning around orders in record time and increasing overall productivity and sales pipeline. Ben Brocklesby, Sales and Marketing Director at Origin, said: “OSS system has been designed with our trade partners in mind to significantly streamline the order and quotation process within one, simpleto-use system. “The faster they can place orders and receive quotes, the more projects they can complete quickly and accurately. This will allow installers to improve their overall customer service and satisfaction levels.” OSS allows users to build whole customer projects, rather than quoting on individual products. This means that all the information on each customer is kept in one place, removing the need to have multiple orders and quotes pertaining to one customer. An unlimited number of doors and windows can be added, edited or removed at any time. As a huge time saving feature, OSS offers the option for users to work from a popular configuration, which is based on the user’s order history, or alternatively, to build a project from scratch. Working from popular orders means that in its most basic form, customers could retrieve quotes simply by choosing the size and configuration. Another key feature of OSS is its intelligent cascade system. This means that should a customer want to change an overall project preference, such as colour, at the touch of a button, OSS can push through this change to all products. This removes the need go in and edit every single product to accommodate this change. Once a quote has been generated, a bespoke quote template, branded for the user and built by Origin, can be downloaded and printed for the customer to keep. www.origin-global.com MAY 2 0 1 6 4 5
