Purchasing
Purchasing for small business can be a challenge, as smaller companies usually lack the automated tools and dedicated purchasing staff that larger businesses enjoy. No automated replenishment software programs run by a dedicated staff here - usually, the person doing the buying wears several hats, "purchasing" being just one of them. And since buying is not always his or her main focus, it is usually done as an afterthought, or in between "real" responsibilities. One-stop shopping becomes more important than getting the best price. Personal relationships can take priority over lowest cost and best service. Keying orders is manual, repetitive and time consuming. And no-one has time to scour the web for best prices and special deals, never mind tracking price history and researching market trends.
Well, no longer is small business excluded from best purchasing practices… introducing what could be the most impactful and innovative module of the myVBO tool set: "Products". The Products module searches the web for products you buy and re-buy regularly, returns best pricing by item or by shopping cart, and places your order - or orders - with three clicks or less. You choose from lowest price/many resellers or competitive price/one reseller.
- Search for products on the web by product name, UPC code or manufacturer's part number
- Alert yourself to price drops- VBO notifies you of price movement so you can react quickly!
- Create lists of products you re-buy regularly for ease of reordering - VBO constantly shops for best pricing on all your listed items!
- Purchase products or entire shopping lists automatically based on lowest available price, favorite vendors, or fewest shipments
- Track market price history and your purchase price history with the click of a button
- Rate vendors according to price, service and reliability
Once you start using the VBO Products module, you'll wonder how you ever bought product the "old fashioned" way. Get ready to start saving money - and time - with the myVBO Products module.
