Product: Credit Card Advantage
[Source: UGAmedia.com] Comfortaire Corporation Saves Over $10,000 with Credit Card
Advantage from Nodus Technologies
"With Credit Card Advantage, time spent securing credit card approvals dropped from
well over two minutes to a consistent, instantaneous response. In addition, we are no
longer forced to manually enter transaction data into separate systems. Our internal
productivity is up and we're saving 10-15 minutes per transaction and over $10,000 each
year."
- Donna Cottrill, Comfortaire Corporation
office manager
The Challenge
Crafting comfortable mattresses requires knowledge, skill, and hard work. It also
takes a support system capable of managing orders and shipments efficiently and
effectively. Prompted by a deeply-rooted desire to service its customers promptly and
courteously, Comfortaire sought an integrated accounting and order processing solution.
"Manually entering orders was time-consuming and tedious," said Donna Cottrill,
Comfortaire Corporation office manager. "Because our previous solutions weren't
integrated, we had to enter data twice for each order. This led to unnecessary errors and
inefficiency."
The Solution
Understanding that Comfortaire required a solution that would integrate with the
Microsoft® Business Solutions-Great Plains accounting package, SBE Technology Group
recommended Credit Card Advantage from Nodus Technologies. By working transparently behind
the scenes to securely approve and post credit card transactions, Credit Card Advantage
has enabled Comfortaire to save 10-15 minutes per transaction.
Implementation Results
With a reduction in the time it takes to initiate, post, and fulfill orders, as
well as time savings stemming from the reporting and reconciliation features, the company
estimates annual savings of over $10,000 from this implementation during this year alone.
"Credit Card Advantage has had an overwhelmingly positive impact on our
productivity," said Cottrill. "It only takes a few keystrokes to secure
approvals and post orders. And, because of the superior integration, data flows to the
appropriate module, eliminating the need for manual intervention when posting fulfilled
orders."
