IVY software description-white paper
IVY is inventory and Point-Of-Sale and electronic cataloging software for the
aftermarket auto body/collision parts business.
Ivy has automatic inventory adjustment from invoicing, Purchase Orders,
customer file, complete sales history file, inventory editing spread-sheet
screen, ongoing sales orders and estimates and much more.
IVY is specially configured for purchasing, inventorying, looking up, and
selling of aftermarket auto body/collision parts. Looking up the correct application
for a collision part requires a
catalog that tells what vehicle make-model-year a part will fit.
IVY has 2 methods of working with catalog data: Internal catalog and
External catalog.
IVY Internal Catalog
IVY comes with a built in electronic cataloging database that can be
loaded with application data from Excel™ spreadsheets that come from your
body parts vendors. Normally when you get a shipment or container from an
offshore supplier you will get with it an invoice or catalog spreadsheet
of the application data needed to sell the parts you have purchased.
IVY has a utility program that reads your application data and loads it
into the internal IVY catalog. This enables fast look-up of the parts you
have purchased by make-model-year in the IVY Catalog Look-Up Screen.
IVY External Catalog
Application data publishers, such as ABPA, offer aftermarket body parts
electronic cataloging data on CD or in a separate Windows program such as
Microsoft Access™. You may wish to subscribe to an external catalog to
obtain more accurate and timely catalog data than can be obtained directly
from your suppliers. You can then use your external catalog in the usual
way, do the part look-up in the external catalog by make-model-year. Then
use IVY to read your external catalog data directly from the screen and
look in your IVY database to see if you have the items wanted.
* ABPA PARTSLINK™ compatible
"ABPA website"
IVY Customer Web Site
Your IVY inventory data will be uploaded to your own web site which will be
provided by Rossknecht Software. Your IVY inventory data and pictures will be
uploaded automatically every night to your web site. Internet users will be
able to browse to your web site and look up items in your inventory by
make-model-year or by part number.
Now it is possible for your customers to place orders online from their
phone or any device with a web browser. This will automatically create a
sales order in your IVY system and send emails to you and your customer.
Here is a Demo website of IVY web inventory look-up with online ordering:
