Video Tip – How to create a restore point

/in /by

dynaMACS has a “mini backup” for sales rep agencies’ convenience

dynaMACS has created a restore point utility to help save time if you need to revert back to a prior period and start over again.  For example:  Posted a session to the wrong month, posted a commission statement to the wrong manufacturer or transferring history to the wrong customer/manufacturer or sales rep.

This DOES NOT replace an offsite backup.  The restore point is located in the same directory as your dynaMACS Software.  This means that if your dynaMACS folder crashes then all the restore points will not work.

Tip #1705 – dynaMACS Helps Agencies get Sales & Commission Information Electronically with this Manufacturer Benefits White Paper

/2 Comments/in /by

Electronic Sales Information (eSi) is the electronic distribution of sales information from manufacturer to sales agencies. The dynaMACS eSi module can replace hours of data entry with a quick and easy process of automatically importing sales information from manufacturers that email their sales information in a spreadsheet format.

The move to dynaMACS eSi requires a simple change in an administrative process on the part of the manufacturer.  Instead of paper reports, the manufacturer produces a spreadsheet that contains the same information and sends it via email to sales agencies. The manufacturer buys no special software, no additional hardware and actually saves money by reducing paper, postage and administrative support costs. The agency receives the information on the same day the manufacturer sends it. The agency can then process the information immediately and if desired, distribute it to sales reps in the field.

The eSi process:

  1.  The agency receives data from the manufacturer via email, CD, or Internet download. No more waiting days or months for data.
  2. Data is provided in a standard comma-delimited (.csv) format or spreadsheet, for automatic upload to the agency database. Data entry is eliminated and so are operator errors.
  3. The agency processes the file to identify new or first-time customers and to balance total sales and commission amounts. Files are updated using dynaMACS’ easy on-screen error correction and new customer lookup capabilities. Your manufacturer customer codes are automatically matched to dynaMACS’ codes.

It is literally that easy. Giving you instant access to vital sales analysis and commission information, dynaMACS is a fast, flexible and reliable way of managing sales and commission data.
