Answers to common DoorBoss questions
 |
What about equipment costs?
The system requires an average, current desktop computer if installing in your office. If you choose for us to host your system all you require is the most basic computer with Internet connection.

What about security?
If you install the DoorBoss on your own computer it automatically backups your data every night. Optionally, it can send a copy to our datacenter for secure off-site storage. If we host your system, security is far superior than virtually any distributor’s in house computer. Your vital company data resides in a professionally managed facility. While security is up to very a high standard we offer the added peace of mind of back-ups on demand, by you, to your computer, in a functional spreadsheet format.

Will my take-offs take longer?
We have developed a rapid entry take-off system that is totally mouse driven and is faster than manual methods. Standard door applications can be entered at speeds most estimators only dream of. Remember, we only want you to input the information once from take-off to invoice.

How does the system handle addendum's and change orders?
The DoorBoss first provides the current status of products affected by the change. Considerations such as: product previously shipped, on hand or on order, allow you to accurately price these types of changes, based on current schedule information. The system defaults to original pricing for credits and extras but allows you to manually adjust pricing to compensate for the cost of processing changes. Quotations are faxed, emailed and printed right from your computer and then approved upon acceptance. Once approved the change becomes part of the job both physically and financially. Naturally a complete historical record of changes is kept for easy reference.

Who is your target customer?
Our target customer is a door and hardware distributor who is currently using a manual system to manage operations or is not happy with their current system. They have considered the advantages of a dedicated software package but have not proceeded due to the huge initial outlay of cash. Our target customer also fears the learning curve associated with the systems currently available, and has heard the implementation horror stories of other firms. Our system offers a user-friendly pay as you go solution to his concerns. |
