Why Choose axis diplomat for OP for your Back Office Solution?

There are as many reasons for choosing axis diplomat for OP as there are potential customers, because we believe every business is unique. Here, however, are our top ten reasons:

1. Financial Stability

When you choose a Back Office supplier, you are looking for a supplier that you can build a long-term relationship with. To do that, you need to know that it is highly likely that the supplier will be around to support you in years to come. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you always credit check any potential suppliers to ensure that they are financially secure.

2. axisfirst are committed to your marketplace

axisfirst has been an active supplier to the Office Products market for many years but, in late 2001, the decision was made to make Office Products a strategic focus for the Software Division. This increased emphasis on Office Products has included the appointment of staff working purely in this market, attending dealer conferences and an on-going commitment to press advertising.

3. Great breadth and depth of product

axisfirst does not only operate in the Office Products marketplace - it is one of several areas identified as a "key focus".

We also operate in Hire Management, Distribution and Mail Order, as well as supplying general business systems. This gives us a unique breadth and depth to our products, which can be of benefit to many Office Products dealers. For example, some Office Products dealers are moving into Audio Visual Equipment Hire, and find that our Hire Management software can help them to run that side of their business without needing to look at 3rd Party solutions.

We even have Job Costing and Payroll packages available and, of course, they all share the same common interface.

4. EOS

Some time ago, axisfirst identified EOS as not only the key growth area for many Office Products Dealers but also the area where intelligent software design could make a huge difference to the dealer's bottom line.

The AXEOS module was designed to help dealers manage this challenging sector by using overnight price feeds from the major wholesalers to keep pricing and availability up-to-date, and to couple this with a "what fits what" database available from both the axis diplomat for OP back office system and the axis vMerchant eCommerce system.

5. eCommerce

Whilst links are available to a number of other industry-specific eCommerce solutions, those dealers looking for a total, integrated solution will find the axis vMerchant solution ideal.

6. Point of Sale

A significant number of dealers operate either trade counters or retail outlets and the fully integrated point of sale solution is ideal. This has been used for a number of years by both Office Products dealers and other trade and retail outlets, ranging from electrical wholesalers to camping and caravan shops.

7. Fully Integrated CRM (Contact Management)

Built in to the standard axis diplomat Sales Ledger is a powerful set of CRM facilities, providing both call logging and marketing support facilities. These include the ability to maintain a categorised history of calls (whether sales, customer services or accounts related) and even to attach external documents, such as Word or Excel files, to those calls.

8. Easy-to-Use Interface

axis diplomat for OP has been developed specifically for the 32-bit Windows environment and features a simple, straightforward interface that will be familiar to anyone who has used Windows.

9. The Only Back Office System to Offer Choice

axis diplomat incorporates a fully-functional Accounting system. Alternatively, you can use Sage Line 50 for your core financial ledgers. The choice is yours!

10. Powerful Security and Privacy Functions

axis diplomat allows the system administrator to tailor the functions available to each user, or group of users, in an incredibly simple yet powerful way.

Not only does this improve security (particularly important on point of sale and warehouse workstations) but also allows the system to be kept very simple for those operators that perhaps only need a handful of functions or only use the system occasionally.
