How it Works

The Amrod website is a comprehensive website with tons of great features. The problem with this is that sometimes you might not be online, the internet might be slow, or you might want to show your customer Amrod products with your prices but cannot.

Toolbox is an application that resides on your desktop and works through your web browser, without requiring you to be online. You can download the toolbox via the CD that contains an install application similar to any other program running on your computer.

Once you launch the application, you will be asked for a username, password and code. This will only occur the first time you install and is used to determine your pricing status at Amrod. The username and password are the same that you use to log into the Amrod website. The code required can be found on the CD cover. If you have a connection, it will check for updates and prompt to download them if needed. This is similar to Windows updates. Updates are sent regularly to correct errors, add new features and update pricing.

Features

Product Catalog

The product catalogue is a detailed electronic version of a printed catalogue with lots of add-on functionality, which allows you to exhibit the available products from your distributor to your customers. Product pictures, sizes, detailed descriptions and colours are all available at the click of a button. You also don’t have to update your product catalogues Amrod does this automatically.

Now that you have a rich catalogue available, you need to employ functionality available to increase sales and save you time.

With Toolbox Reseller, you can:
  • View Detailed Product Information
  • Create quotations
  • Check Stock real time
  • Create Invoice
  • Create a Purchase Order

Create YOUR Price List

Everyone needs an editable format for their pricelist. The accepted format in most cases is Excel. Previously the supplier would email their pricelists to customers whenever there are new products available, or whenever pricing changes. This can be quite often... You don’t have time to go and copy the supplier pricelist every time, change the logo, contact details, pricing and waste more time. You want to create a customised pricelist on the fly! Amrod Toolbox does that for you. You can set a global mark-up on all your products, a per category mark-up, or set individual pricing per product. Once you are done, you simply export the pricelist to excel where it is stored on your hard drive. It’s as easy as that.

Quoting

Amrod Toolbox allows you to create quotations for your customers, and to send them out using professionally designed HTML templates with added mark-up, your logo and details, and a personalised note for that extra touch. You can also check stock in real time, to ensure that the stock is available.

Your client will receive their quotation in their mailbox, and if the quote is accepted, you can generate a purchase order which can be sent directly to your distributor with the order, and send the customer the detailed invoice for payment. This is very basic book keeping, but it’s all free, and extremely simple to use.

Mailers

Distributors have dedicated design teams, creating special flyers, and bulk email campaigns to promote the products which they offer. The difficulty here is that small resellers and retailers do not have designers in-house. Changing the mailers to reflect your image and pricing can often be time consuming, tricky and costly. In addition to this you also need bulk email software which further adds to costs. For the reasons mentioned above, resellers will often delete mailers which they receive from their suppliers, without sending them to their clients, thus, ignoring the potential sales that it might generate.

With Amrod Toolbox, the Distributor creates mailers with special attributes. You can choose the mailers that were created and easily and quickly change the pricing, add your logo, and even customise the body of the email. As soon as you have customised the mailer to your liking, you can send it on to your client base.

Toolbox Mode / Presentation Mode

When in Toolbox mode, you will see Amrod branding, with pricing and products that applies to you (i.e. Amrod’s wholesale and branding prices etc). If you switch to Presentation mode, your customers will see your personalised template, along with the marked-up price lists that you have created. In this way, you are promoting your products professionally from your computer. Best of all is that you do not need to be connected to the internet in order to browse through the catalogue. You can now sell your products at your customer. With the click of a button the stock will automatically be ordered. Making sales has never been this easy.
