At Tribute We Focus on the Critical Issues!
While other software companies are focusing on who has what feature or who thought of what first, Tribute® is focusing on you, on your critical business issues and how we can work together to address them.

Take a look at these three "Monster" business issues and what you can do about them using the Tribute Software System:

Customer Service
The issue: Reaching sales growth targets.
The Monster: If you put your customer on hold, you put your business on hold.
The Answer: Tribute gives your in-house sales people access to all the data they need to quote an order without putting a customer on hold. All the data:
• Customer Profile (Who am I talking to?)
• Item Availability (Do I have it? When can I get it?)
• Real-Time Pricing (What's my price?)
• "What if" Pricing (What if the customer orders 100?)
• Margin Parameters (Can I cut a better deal?)
• Customer Purchase History (What price did he pay the last time?)
• Customer Credit Status (What does he owe? Is he on credit hold?)

The result is the ability to convert more quotes to sales and reach the targets you set for increased revenue.

Accounting
The issue: Planning ahead, instead of managing by looking backwards.
The Monster: Cash flow that always seems a bit too late.
The Answer: Tribute gives you more than just credit history; it looks at a customer's average days to pay. That enables you to plan for cash flow, instead of reacting to it. Tribute links all of your operations, from the quote, to the order, to the inventory, to the vendors to the receiving dock, to the shipping dock, to the invoicing, to the payment. Tribute is a system that makes it easy to manage your finances with a minimum of accounting staff.

Tribute gives you the management information you need to make decisions that make money.

Inventory Management
The issue: Reducing dollars tied up in inventory.
The Monster: Inventory management based
on a guess.
The Answer: Tribute puts your inventory at the sales desk, and provides your sales people with options for finding ways to deliver the products your customer needs. What's more, Tribute's inventory management system takes charge. It automatically funnels special order items, and stock items that have fallen below their re-order point, and creates a requisition. Tribute looks at vendor minimums. It takes into account any deals that have been negotiated with the vendor. It comes up with the recommended buy quantity based on specific management methods you have chosen. And you can mix and match these methods to suit your needs.

When it comes to solving your biggest problems, it's simple really … we know your business better!
