XebraSource for Suppliers

• An electronic catalogue will increase your exposure to distributors who may not receive your paper catalogues.

  ---

• Paper catalogues often end up in a stack in the supply room and don't do you any good when distributors don't look at them.
  

  ---

• XebraSource™ makes it easy for you to make changes to your online catalogue. Items that you no longer have available can be removed immediately. You can instantly correct the mistake that you see as soon as the catalogue is published.

  ---

• Because distributors have up-to-date information and pricing, your staff will spend less time quoting items, e-mailing, and talking with distributors on the telephone.

  ---

• The distributors that you deal with will save a tremendous amount of time. This means they will have more time to sell the products you supply.

  ---

• The orders you receive will be more accurate. The flexible pricing table makes it easy for you to incorporate additional charges and discounts to individual customers.

  ---

• XebraSource™ suppliers will have access to statistical reports that show which of their products distributors are looking at and which products are appearing in their searches. Again, suppliers will only see information about their own products. These reports can be compared with your sales figures to indicate the success of your presentation.

  ---

• Suppliers only have access to their own catalogue. The supplier software does not allow a supplier to compare prices. This solution does not prevent distributor/suppliers from subscribing as a distributor and seeing your product listings.

  ---

• Suppliers may block any subscribing distributor from seeing their catalogue listings. Subscribing suppliers will be notified when new distributors subscribe so they have time to block any distributor that they do not wish to do business with.

  ---

• Suppliers may also give discounts to preferred distributors. We recommend that the prices that you list in your XebraSource™ catalogue be the highest distributor prices you charge. You may then notify selected distributors and offer them a percent discount from the pricing. They will enter this discount in XebraSource when they select you as a preferred supplier. The discount you offer is confidential between you and the individual distributor. The distributor will see your prices with the discount applied.

  ---

• Each price table allows for an adjustment to distributor discounts for the individual product. If you sell a product that has a low margin and can't discount it, you may enter -100% and no distributor will receive discounts on it. If you are doing a clearance on a product you could enter +100% and all the distributor discounts would be doubled. Of course, you can go anywhere between. This field will not alter the prices for distributors who do not have a discount.

XebraSource for Distributors

• You save time!

  ---

• XebraSource™ makes a tremendous number of products from many different suppliers available for you to search on your computer. This is especially helpful when you are looking for an unusual product offered only by a supplier that you do not use regularly. It eliminates the need to go to the store room to plow through the stack of paper catalogues. You expand your product line beyond what you can remember to look for. You save 5 minutes to several hours finding the product and do a better job of it!

  ---

• When you find the perfect product for your customer, XebraSource™ gives you all the information you need to prepare a quotation for your customer. The prices presented include your special discounts for suppliers that you use regularly. Not only do you save the e-mail and telephone time with your supplier; you can give your customer an accurate quote immediately.

  ---

• Often, your first contact with the vendor on a job will be the purchase order. XebraSource™ gives you the information you need to place an accurate order that can go into production with a minimum of back-and-forth communication with the supplier.

  ---

• XebraSource™ is designed for efficiency. Searches and item information are presented in uniform displays that let you locate the information you need to make decisions quickly.

  ---

• Our state-of-the-art client/server technology is much faster and more secure than technology based web-browsers.

  ---

• You save time! If you produce 40 quotes a week and XebraSource™ saves you a half hour on each quote, you have 20 more hours to sell.
