bisTrack: Price management software

Charging the right price

Every product has a default selling price. This may be unique to the product or shared across a range (e.g. a range of paints where the only variable is the colour). Matrix pricing and customer special pricing are both supported. Managing your pricing structures can be as simple or as comprehensive as you like.

Always charge the right price You can have multiple 'pers' for each product, e.g. selling by each, box, hundred, etc. and multiple prices by product. Using bisTrack your price management system will never be limited by the software.

Managing price options

Sales orders support all the pricing options you need. For pricing discussions there is a dedicated negotiation panel. You can always see the pricing history for the customer and product.

Managing profit margins

Complete control over the profit margins you are taking — at branch level, company level or by user. You can cap the discounts your staff can give away. There are security-controlled overrides, for that extra special customer, if you really know what you are doing!

bisTrack lets you manage and build on the basic pricing structure to fully implement your own custom pricing rules:

as many prices per product as you need
quantity breaks, with optional aggregation by like products
matrix pricing (customer type x product type) pointing to a price and/or discount(s)
multi-currency for trading across borders
customer special prices by product or product groups, optionally restricted by issuing branch or restricted to a customer site.

Effective dates and promotions

All prices can have effective from/to dates allowing easy set up of promotional prices. To support your marketing, points per product, 'buy 2 get 1 free', and other similar features are supported. If there’s a pricing structure we can’t handle, we’d probably like to know about it.

Benefits: Charge exactly the right price for even the most demanding customers. Full transparency on the pricing history previously paid, and not forgetting the full stock management features available.

Testimonials

"The time was right for a change of software at Alsford's and we selected bisTrack from a shortlist of three. The key criteria was 'business fit'. We wanted a Microsoft Windows, intuitive solution which would best serve our claim to be 'The Timber Experts' in all our 20 branches."

Neil Fuller, MD, Alsford Timber
"bisTrack is an excellent piece of software and getting better. Their approach to meeting our needs is excellent. eBusiness is not going to be big for another 12 months but PSI are there already, which means we’re ahead. They're very open to ideas and keep getting better at turnaround."

Adam Myers, Beesley & Fildes
"The reporting capabilities of bisTrack really help the sales department answer day to day enquiries. It gives them instant access to information about purchasing volumes and when timber is due to come in."

Wayne Abrams, Project Leader, Arbor Forest Products
"Progressive's experience was important, as was the link with Microsoft. We think that's the way ahead for all merchant systems."

Stephen Fairbairn, MD, Henry Alty
"I can export information into Excel by right-clicking and manipulate it to my heart's content."
"We saw benefits straight away, particularly with the time we saved on monthly stock takes and sourcing information for management reports."

Nigel Williams, Chairman, Premier Forest Products
"bisTrack is an excellent piece of software and getting better. Their approach to meeting our needs is excellent. eBusiness is not going to be big for another 12 months but PSI are there already, which means we’re ahead. They're very open to ideas and keep getting better at turnaround."

Adam Myers, Beesley & Fildes
"With bisTrack we now have real-time information on our profitability, which allows us to continually optimise and make decisions on our business plan."

Stuart Hall, General Manager, Lawcris Panel Products
"bisTrack was a big investment for us but it's the best change we've ever made. We've grown so much over the last four or five years, we simply couldn't have carried on using a manual system."

Gerwyn Thomas, partner, TL Thomas (builders' merchant)
"We chose bisTrack because we needed to move on to the next generation of software."

Stephen Fairbairn, MD, Henry Alty
“There are other systems of course, but none have had the development time that’s behind bisTrack. I can’t believe there’s a better system out there. I’m convinced there’s nothing that can deliver better what we need.”

Peter Buttle, md, Buttle plc
"Once we started building up information we could trust, we started seeing real benefits. If stock accuracy was the main benefit, then quality of management information was next."

Peter Kerr, FD, Palmer Timber
"The great thing is we can always export information to Excel and produce any report we need — such as aged debt by sales rep, or a bespoke exposure report, which assesses potential credit risk & protects us."

Damien Cosgrove, Credit Control Mgr, Noyeks Newmans
"We have a responsibility to the environment. That’s why we’re trying to lower our carbon footprint. We introduced e-commerce, cut down on paper receipts & are introducing electronic billing for customers."

Director, building materials supplier
"One reason we chose Progressive was because their team was so approachable. It wasn’t just because the software was better. We really felt we could work with them.”

Director, Ridgeons
"There’s no doubt that bisTrack is a good tool. We’ve a fantastic record for growth and we’re getting a lot out of bisTrack now, particularly over the control of our business."

Mike MacLellan, MD, GPH Builders Merchant
"Inventory accuracy is higher because everyone is more focused and our staff can see the benefit of getting it right."

Ian Murchie, Operations Director, Howie Forest Products
"I'm happy bisTrack will grow with us. If we find we need something which isn't already incorporated, I'm confident Progressive will work with us to fill the gap."

Operations Director, CF Anderson
"Once we started building up information we could trust, we started seeing real benefits. If stock accuracy was the main benefit, then quality of management information was next."

Peter Kerr, FD, Palmer Timber
"Stock counting is one of the best facilities in bisTrack ever. Stock counting across multiple locations is effortless with multiple entries of the same product. Entering a count is even easier. Counting 10,000 lines used to take two of us 4 days. This time it was 8 hours."
"I was working with 2.7 in our test environment and looking at all the work you have done. Just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate all you do to make this a great technology partnership."

Brian King, Lumber USA
"I'm convinced there's no other system that can deliver better what we need. Apart from its Windows architecture and its powerful functionality, it now has ten years of development behind it."

Peter Buttle, Buttle plc
