2.11 General Introduction to Process Management Configuration
Dec/9/2005
The power of Tradepoint is found in its ability to
automate processes that used to be manually performed. Thinks like adjusting a GL when an
ecommerce orders come in; notifying warehouse staff when a new sales order has
been made; Making tasks for managers or staff members in a shared project. Tradepoint already automates the general
processes that apply to every business but through the further configuration of
your Tradepoint software you can achieve new levels of process optimization and
automation. Spending time outlining
your business processes in Tradepoint is crucial to your company success and
efficiency within Tradepoint software.
Every business has a process that is unique to it
self and might not be shared by other businesses even within the same
industry. That is why Tradepoint
has been built with "Flexible Rigidity" in mind. When you first install Tradepoint there
are no general business management processes in place (like Sales Force
Automation): No statuses, No
categories for products or contact management. The fields are there to be utilized, but
Tradepoint waits for you to fill your specific criteria for your. This flexibility is vastly beneficial to
your company because Tradepoint can now mould to suit your exact needs instead
of your needs having to mould to fit the software. After your processes are implemented in
Tradepoint, Tradepoint can rigidly apply your rules and make sure they are
adhered to. Rules like: Calling
back a customer within 30 days of product shipment or activation, or
automatically creating a task in a project when another task is complete.
Tradepoint allows you to outline any process that might be needed in your
business, quickly and easily.
