The main features and benefits of Spindle 2009 are:
Sage 200 CRM* Integration
Having all your customer information in one central place is crucial to helping you develop and maintain strong relationships. By adding
Sage 200 CRM integration into Spindle 2009, this business communication issue has been solved. Spindle 2009 improves the effectiveness of the Sage 200 Suite by joining the accounting and CRM elements together - giving you a one-stop-shop for your information.
For example:
An overdue debt letter is sent by the finance department via Spindle 2009 and is automatically saved within the Sage 200 CRM system and linked to that customer.
The sales department can then see that that customer has been informed of an overdue debt and can mention it next time they call or put a quote on hold until the issue is resolved.
With all sales, marketing and accounting information stored instantly in one single place, there is no need to waste time hunting around different applications trying to piece together customer information.
*Please note, this is compatible with v6 and upwards.
Microsoft SharePoint Archiving
On its own, SharePoint is a web-based collaboration and document management platform from Microsoft. It can be used to access shared workspaces and documents, as well as many other forms of applications, from within a browser. The problem is, that without Spindle, SharePoint still requires a significant amount of manual entry and data management, which can be very time-consuming and with the obvious potential for human error. Spindle saves you time and hassle, by collating, archiving and retrieving documents instantly.
For example:
Your personnel department can use Spindle 2009 to archive all of an employee’s records, such as payslips, holidays, sickness, training and appraisals. You can then search for text, including names, in the PDFs to ensure individual’s records are never lost again.
Barcorde Generation
Barcodes have a huge range of applications across a business. They have traditionally been used in stock control, warehousing and manufacturing processes; however their use has been extended into many other areas of business, including promotions and retail.
Spindle Professional 2009 can create and automatically insert barcodes directly onto any or all of your documents. They can be printed anywhere on the document and you can even have more than one barcode per page. You can use barcodes with picking lists, invoices, mail shots, promotional vouchers and more.
For example:
Spindle 2009 can print an invoice generated by the sales team and send one copy, with a barcode inserted and prices removed, to the warehouse for order picking.
Using Spindle 2009, lists of barcodes can also be created on one single document, enabling numerous orders to be placed on one invoice and picking document. The warehouse team can simply collect their own copy and pick orders directly from that sheet.
It removes the need for orders to be manually input onto a separate system for generating barcodes, simplifying the order process and delivering huge savings in both time and resources.
Page Sorting
Printing a batch of documents would normally mean processing them page by page, in the order in which they were sent. Spindle Professional 2009 features Page Sorting, enabling customers to group like-for-like documents together.
For example:
Your accounts department wants to print all their month-end invoices in account number order. The can use Spindle 2009 to do so. Alternatively, if they need to send a number of invoices out to one customer, Spindle will select the documents needed and forward them in one letter or email.
