VANCOUVER, B.C., Canada,
August 15, 2007
Progressive Solutions Inc., has announced
that Version 2 of its popular bisTrack software will be available
November 15, 2007. Most new features will be pre-released
to select customers and will be available for Preview on August
15, 2007.
The enhancements and new features in bisTrack 2.0 support
the product philosophy of providing users with intelligent
tools designed to take full advantage of bisTrack and its
powerful capabilities to operate and analyze businesses better,
maximizing human potential and return on assets. |
| Tools
to boost productivity and performance |
Included in bisTrack 2.0 are the following three productivity-boosting
tools:
| • |
Personal Assistant
– This unique application uses state-of-the-art
Business Intelligence, Dashboard and Instant Messaging
software in concert to pro-actively push data, events,
key performance metrics and warnings to the desktop(s)
of those who need to know. |
The
Dashboard Designer makes it easy to push relevant messages,
KPIs and
metrics to each user’s desktop. (High-res

“It’s like having a personal
assistant assigned to everyone in your company, to remind
them of important tasks, let them know of events relating
to their orders, and point out possible errors,”
says Randy Faris, bisTrack Sales Manager. “It’s
a huge time-saver and helps avoid possible customer service
issues.” |
| • |
Profile Designer
– This companion tool allows role-based profiles
to be created for each user or user group. It allows bisTrack
to be tailored to the individual roles, responsibilities
and goals of each user, displaying only the data, messages,
tasks and metrics relevant to them.
“Instead
of looking at a cluttered computer screen, all the noise
that doesn’t apply to them is eliminated; they
see only what they need to get their job done quickly
and efficiently.” says Faris. |
bisTrack’s Profile Designer
creates taskpads tailored for individual users, so
they see just tasks and quick links needed to do
their jobs better. (High-res)

Smart Views
– With a simple right-click, a user can save the
way data is defined, sorted, and displayed. Favorite reports
or ways to view data look-ups can be retrieved in an instant,
saving time and ensuring consistency.

Views help bisTrack users quickly find their favorite

Modern Sales Techniques |
| Three new modules in bisTrack
2.0 make sales and customer service personnel more responsive
to the varied and valu-added products & services offered
by many building materials dealers, even when away from
the office or store. |
| • |
Product Configurator
– This enhanced module guides users intelligently
through the creation of custom doors, windows, and other
complex products, listing required components and their
available options. Costing and pricing options are available
by line or by finished product. |
| • |
Installed Sales
– This module allows users to create pricing agreements,
typically for a fixed price, that combine materials and
installation services. Invoicing is not tied to the shipping
of goods, nor the value of the products shipped. Instead,
billing is done at predetermined periods or events, and
multiple billings are possible for each job providing
ultimate flexibility for your Installed Sales agreements. |
| • |
Mobile Sales Reps
– On a Windows Mobile Smartphone, your sales reps
can lookup customer information including sales history,
get stock and price information, get product sales histories,
and enter site visit reports. Your sales reps will be
responsive even while on the road. |

New
bisTrack 2.0 reflects commitment to LBM industry and customer
profitability
Consistent with Progressive Solutions’ ongoing commitment
to the North American building materials industry, bisTrack
2.0 also contains numerous interchange features including credit
card support and interfaces to 20-20 Kitchens, Andersen Windows,
Marvin Windows, Seljax, Luxwood and other design/estimating
systems.
However, bisTrack is more than a feature-rich system designed
specifically for the LBM industry. Progressive Solutions also
offers world-class professional services to help optimize a
customer’s use of the valuable data they collect in bisTrack.
The On Track implementation process combined with ongoing programs
Productivity Track and Quantum Profits ensure the maximum potential
of each system is achieved.
“bisTrack has been enthusiastically embraced by building
materials distributors and dealers, amassing almost 5000 users
in the UK and North America who seek modern Microsoft technology
to maximize human potential and return on assets in their company,”
says Len Williams, President and CEO of Progressive Solutions.
“Our ability to rapidly develop new features and functionality
is a big part of why our customers buy bisTrack.”
