Q: OK, so Bluestreak will increase my “bottom line.” A fellow comes around
here peddling cleaning supplies – tells me the same thing. So, help me out. Just
how does Bluestreak increase the bottom line?
A: Well, let me count the ways.
- Our largest customer emails all quotations, certifications and invoices. The savings
is $300 per month in postage.
- Our smallest customer has added 50% to company sales with no need for additional
personnel. Though this customer may be small, it now produces sales per employee
at triple the industry average. Its owner comments that Bluestreak is the best business
decision he has ever made.
- Among many other things, the floor shop module is the ultimate furnace log. For
instance, take a vacuum load. It is not unusual to have thirty or more orders in
one load. With the old way, the operator loads the furnace and starts the cycle;
then sits down for at least 30 minutes to fill out the work orders and furnace log,
an exercise that will be repeated when the load ends. With Bluestreak, the order
numbers are scanned into the system. This takes about two minutes. Then, when the
cycle is completed, the load is ended for all the orders combined in about two seconds.
Employees are now available for revenue-producing work, and the furnacing information
is totally recallable in any of several formats.
- Ever missed getting an order into a load? Then had to run a special load to meet
delivery promises? Make any money doing that? Bluestreak provides a ready list of
all orders available in a work center for the given operation. If the order is not
physically in the area, the operator knows he needs to go find it.
- Have you found that an invoice was priced incorrectly because the wrong quotation
was attached to the work order at Order Entry? Bluestreak has the tools to solve
this problem decisively.
- How much time do you and your supervisors spend chasing down order status for
your customers? If you are typical, at least 70% of the phone calls you receive
are from customers asking for order status. Customer Portal saves all this time.
Here is an actual event: The Portal was being installed and demonstrated at a customer
for the first time. During the demo, one of the customer’s salesmen interrupted
the meeting to inquire about a hot order … where were the parts? He needed to put
the order on hold. The customer’s expediter looked to The Portal and instantly found
that the parts had been delivered to the heat treater that morning; and that the
parts were through contract review but no further. A simple call put the parts on
hold. Well, interestingly enough, the customer’s own software system did not show
this and would not have shown this until the following day. By then, the parts would
have been heat treated, resulting in wasted time and money at both companies.
Q: Stop, already! Everything you have told me actually happened?
A: Yes, these anecdotes and many others.
Q: Well, then, there is a lot more to Bluestreak that just an order entry
system, isn’t there? A: Just so! We offer a vision with our software,
a vision that supports your vision. We offer tools that will help you build market
share, capture the captive market, and increase your bottom line. We respond to
your needs and to the needs of your customers. We offer methods and solutions for
achieving your short and long-term goals; and the development is not going to stop
any time soon because great ideas keep coming in!
Q: I am convinced. In the heat treating industry, you have clearly redefined
software expectations. Who can I contact to arrange a demonstration of Bluestreak?
A: Call Bluestreak Sales and talk to Patrick or Todd at (888) 785-0509 Ext 2. You
will learn that Bluestreak offers much, much, more.
