Business Store

A recruitment agency regularly supplies its branches with various merchandising articles, especially for the holidays or for special sales promotions. During Advent season, for example, Christmas stollen, calendars, pens and thermos cups are chosen among other things.

The marketing department presents these articles to the branches with the request to specify the desired quantities in the Business Store within a fixed period of time. In Business Store the product with a product preview are stored and can be ordered from the branches. Before the expiry of the period, a reminder will be sent from the Business Store, which points out once again the possibility to order. This mail is distributed only to the branches that have not performed any order. After the deadline, the items are no longer available for further orders.

An editable file generated from the order data provides in a clear form the required total quantities including all necessary ordering data. This list is made available to the marketing department. In collaboration with the sales and regional management, the order requests of the branches are again checked and the exact quantities are determined. By using the Business Store, maintaining and managing a manually created list may be omitted for the marketing department.

All deliveries and the invoicing of the merchandising articles will be made to Giro-Druck. The items are stored in the Business Store. The supply of the individual branches can now be combined and performed postage-optimized. By combining the deliveries the number of packets and therefore the transport costs are significantly reduced. A considerable advantage, reducing the processing costs, also results from the automated cost charging of the individual branches. The settlement in the Business Store eliminates a multiple cost distribution in the case of different supplier invoices for the individual merchandising items.
