Take an Order / Job Entry

How to take an order / job entry for a customer

Order entry is a simple step-by-step process, used by dispatchers and customers alike.

WIMP’s exclusive Street Address Validation plus the geocode ensures precise location for delivery.

A geocode map shows the destination for the driver. If it’s a scheduled run, our Spelling Assist auto-fills the information for you, and alerts you if there’s a typo. Find or sort customers by multiple methods such as most used, most recent, all callers, or by address.

Automated cut-off times and job type is very useful when, for example, a customer calls in an order at 4pm for a same-day delivery…WIMP would not allow an economy price, knowing that a 1-hour delivery is a rush job.

Also, it works with or without a mouse.

Our Job Entry was built with dispatchers and customer users in mind. The screen is the same, but the customer would have limited information. This security, role-based method will be tailor-made for your business.

How can we be so inexpensive?

WIMPmaster — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 17:23:54 +0000

With labor being the largest expense for most businesses, we felt this was the first category to address. Most software developers are using propriety software with a very small pool of programmers available to hire from. New employees take longer to train, which could take months before being available to contribute any valuable work. We solved this problem by building our Tracking Software, incorporating a variety of the most current, popular technology. Hence, with a large pool of programmers now available, we can pass the savings on to you.

Does WIMP come with a manual?

WIMPmaster — Sun, 02 Jan 2011 16:14:28 +0000

Yes. In these current times, we believe putting the manual online for everyone to use makes more sense. Unlike the “olden days”, a manual for a multi-user application gets put on the shelf behind the desk of the president. Moreover, your System Administrator/Owner can update all the pages to better fit their business. This manual is also Role-based and privilege-restricted; your Accountant will only see the sections applicable to the ‘Accountant’ role, and so on.
