getting a lot of the same questions asked over and over again they'll post the question and the answer out here under the popular topics and down at the bottom we do an archives of the popular topics but when you go in here at the top if you have a question related to work orders you can just simply click on the work orders link and it's going to show you the questions and answers related to work orders going back here to the welcome page I'm going to direct your attention to the very top here on the toolbar 90 of what you're going to be doing on a regular basis and Ideal you're gonna access uh using these shortcut icons at the top of the screen so it makes it very easy for you to find the information that you're looking for these icons at the top of the toolbar can be customized as well you simply right click and go to customize tool buttons toolbar buttons now with this uh universal search field button at the top here it gives you the ability to search for your customer you can search by their name by their phone number you can also search for part numbers and take a customer let's say right from here that you look up directly to a sales or work order so just a quick way for you to be able to get to the information that you want and make you more efficient i'm going to go over here at the top left hand corner and start with the customer screen and when i go into the customer screen it brings me right to the search field so i can start searching for my customer to the right of the search field there's a search and sort by so you can search by your customer's name you can search by their customer id their phone number any of the fields that you see here in the drop down menu and i'm going to search by a customer's name here by the way you can search by first or last name and you notice as i start to type in the letters of the customer's name the system already searches for me and there's my customer i don't have to type in the customer's full name now to drill down into the customer's information i can either hit my f7 key or i can go down here to the bottom left hand corner click on the properties button this is going to show me the customer's billing address their email address their phone number their cell phone number off to the right here the email field and the cell phone field you'll see these little icons here what that's for is you have the ability to send emails through the system to your customers so you can send out your customer statements you can send out invoices to your customers whatever type of message you'd like to send out to your customers below that here next to the cell phone field you can send text messages out to your customers through the system as well and we do have some automation around our text messaging feature we do have the ability let's say anytime you special ordered parts for your customers when you receive those parts in on a purchase order you can have the system set up where it will automatically send out a text message to your customer letting them know their parts are in and they can come pick them up also around work orders when you change the status of a work order to complete it we can have it set up so that the system will send out a text message to the customer letting them know the work's been completed on their equipment and they can come pick it up now over to the right here you'll see the terms that we've set up in the system for your customers you'll have different pricing levels that you can set up for your customers you can assign a sales rep to them their tax code down here at the bottom you'll see there's text check boxes for printing out statements allowing text and emailing out statements to your customers the next tab here is our additional tab so with ideal what you can do here is you can put in a warning message under the customer's account so let's say the customer has written you a bad check in the past and you don't want your employees taking checks from that customer you can put a warning message in here and anytime an employee brings up that customer inside the system it's going to pop up with this warning message next we have our notes tab so you can put in any kind of notes you want under the customer's account and you can timestamp those nodes we also have a contacts tab here so if you're working with a commercial cutter or you're working with an organization you can add those names under the account here under the contacts tab next we have our ship to address for our customer and the last tab here is a pricing tab so this allows you to set up a pricing rule for your customer inside the system and you can do it by different types you can do it by percent percent of margin amount or fixed there are also a different base level so you can base it off of the manufacturer's list price average cost and so on you can even set up a date range so if a customer comes in and buys a piece of equipment for from you and the first 90 days you're going to give them 10 off any parts or accessories that they purchase from you you can set that up inside the system as well next i'm going to go into the customers activity screen here i just click on the activity button down at the bottom it's going to open up to the receivables tab from here i can enter in a payment right from here on the customer's account we also typically have a payment button at the top on the toolbar that you can see here where my mouse pointer is and uh under the receivables tab it's going to show you any open receivables that are sitting out there on the customer's account we do have a filter button if you had a lot of them out here you could filter by any of these fields that you see in the window and there's also a sort by drop down arrow as well so you can sort by any of the fields that you see here at the bottom of this a receivables tab you're going to have the balance sitting out here and the number of days that it's been sitting out here on the account next we have our orders tab this is going to show you any open orders that are sitting out there under the customer's account this would be quotes work orders sales orders internal work orders and again you do have a filter button here to filter by fields any of the fields that you see here there's also a sort by drop down button that you can click on as well next we have our items on order this just shows you all the products that are sitting out there on those orders and you can see that they've been allocated to the quote or to the work order or the sales order that's open and you can also see if it's been if it's on back order or not from here as well next we have our invoices tab so this shows me all the customers invoices if i want to look at an invoice i can just simply double click on that invoice to open it up and down at the bottom here it's going to have an items tab so i can see what the product is there's also a payments tab and there's a sales tax tab on here as well now if a customer let's say comes in picks out a part and you invoice them out and they get out to the parking lot and decide that they don't want the park they need something different you do have the ability to hit this reverse button up here to take it to an open order status so you can return the part that they don't want back into the system easily and add the part that they do need um this reverse button is only something that you would use if they were returning at the same day items invoice just shows you all of the products that the customer has purchased from you in the past and again you have a filter button so you can filter by any of the fields that you see here to help you find whatever product it is that you're looking for easier and then you do have a sort by drop down menu as well the whole goods tab is going to show you anything that you've worked on in the past for the customer or anything that you've sold to the customer in the past so when you go to to do a work order on a customer piece of equipment which i'll show you a little bit later on during this demonstration you're going to be able to look up the customer's equipment from the work order screen and you're going to be able to see what you did to it the last time that the customer brought it into you the last tab that we have here is the text and emails tab so if you do send a text message or an email through the system to your customers you can view that message right from here and you can also see whether or not that text message or email was successfully sent out through the system next i'm going to go into the product screen which is just to the right of the customers when we go into the products it's going to be the same layout as a customer screen and you're going to see as we go through this that it's the same grid style layout throughout the program so once you know how to do a couple things in ideal you're good to go it's very easy to learn how to use this system now to the right of the search box we have a search and sort by and if we want to search by the part number we can do that we can search by description by product type by manufacturer you can also set up custom views inside the system so for instance you'll see here in the drop down menu i have a lot of custom views that i've set up inside the system so for example if i just wanted to see all the still chainsaws that i had on hand i can just click on it and boom it takes me right to that screen and there is a filter button right from here that you can go to so you can set up whatever filters you want and save those as views inside the system i'm going to go ahead and type in a part number here all right and when i want to drill down into that part number i can go into the properties and this is going to show me what my list price is here what my cost is my average cost and what my last cost was the next tab the additional tab what our dealers use this for is let's say for example you're selling a battery to a customer you can add a core charge right here as an additional product so anytime you go to add that battery to a sales ticket or work order it's going to automatically add that core charge on there with a battery and if the customer doesn't want that you can always delete it off of the order next we have our notes tab so you can put in any kind of notes you want you can timestamp it from here next we have our stock tab so this is going to show you the bin location for that product you can also set up to four different stocking levels inside ideal that you see here so you could have like a summer minimum summer max winner minimum winner max is also going to show you how many you have available on hand here next we have our kit items tab so in ideal you'll have the ability to build out kits you could have a tune-up kit that includes a spark plug the oil filter the oil the air filter and so on so you can build out any type of kits that you need inside the system the related tab what our dealers use this for is cross referencing of aftermarket parts they sell so for example here for the op guys i have oregon and sten's aftermarket parts that i could use to replace the briggs and stratton air filter and pre-filter that i have on here and i'll show you when we go through and do a sales order what that looks like how it pops up with that related items window and it gives us the ability to replace the oem part with the aftermarket part next we have our pricing tab here so we can go in and set up a pricing rule here for a specific customer on this product and then the last tab we have here is an image tab so if you want to drop a picture in here the product you can do so next i'm going to go into the activity screen here this is going to open up to the inventory tab so i can do an inventory adjustments right from here i can see how many i have total how many are allocated here and how many are available and i can see what the value of that inventory is and what my average cost is here i go down here to the quantity history tab i can see what my past sales history has been on this product throughout the year and last year from here and i can see what my purchase history has been on this product this year as well as last year moving on here to the related tab we already talked about this on a sales order if i have any of these parts sitting out there on orders work orders or sales orders i'll see those right from here on a purchase order if i had any of these sitting out on a purchase order i could view those from here next i have my invoice tab so i can see all the customers that have purchased this product in the past we have our receive tab so i can see the supplier that i purchased this product from in the past what the quantity was and what my cost was and i can see the total amount we can also trap loss sales through the system as well so the customer walks in the store asking for a product that you don't normally stock and they walk out of the store you'll be able to track that as a lost sale through the system pricing info this is just another way to set up a pricing rule inside the system for this product for your customers next i'm going to go into the whole good screen here so when we click on the shortcut icon for the whole good this is just going to show your serialized items only the product screen shows you all of your parts as well as your serialized so this looks just like the product screen only this is only showing your serialized items only again you can search by a serial number you can search by a product number or stock number whatever's going to be easiest for you you can just search by what you have in stock if you want to you can do it by manufacturer and there's also a filter button here as well that you can go into there's also uh the saved view here as well so if i just wanted to see you used units that i have in stock i could just go right here to see that and i'm just going to click on one of these serialized items to go into the properties of that serialized item so when i go into the properties of the serialized item i see the unit information the description model number manufacturer serial number there's a spot for additional model numbers manufacturers and serial numbers and if you're a marine dealer or a trailer dealer we customize the unit types for you so the unit type field that you see here would be a little bit different this is a unit type for outdoor power equipment dealer so as you can see here down at the bottom you have your warranty information that can be entered in over here on the right there's body type engine type deck size horsepower you can also add up to three custom fields inside ideal as well and you can designate whether the equipment's new use rented on the additional tab this gives you the ability to add freight prep track dealer rebates hold back and you'll be able to see what your estimated profit is for that piece of equipment next you have a notes tab here to enter notes any kind of manufacturer options that were installed can be added from here the dealer options tab if you click on add dealer options it's going to ask you if you want to create an internal work order so from here you can go right into an internal work order and if you're adding let's say an accessory to a piece of equipment you'll be able to track that labor that was performed on that piece of equipment and that will get added to the cost of the unit uh for the customer when you go to sell it tool on the attachment screen this would just be used if you want to attach serialized items together so if you're selling a piece of equipment and you want to attach let's say a trailer to go along with it you could attach that trailer right here on the screen work history if there's any work that was done on this piece of equipment you'd see all the work orders that were tied to it lastly on the image tab this just gives you the ability to drop a picture in here next i'm going to go through and show you how easy it is to do a sales order inside ideal so we just go up here to the top click on the order entry mine set up automatically to default to a cash customer so i can change that from a cast customer just by typing in the customer's name you have the same search and sort by fields in here so dave baumgarten's the customer i'm looking for now there's also a properties and activity button down here at the bottom so if i need to update the customer's address or phone number i can do that right on the fly from here also if i need to check on an order for the customer i can go to activity and click on the order screen and let him know what's going on with his open orders from here i'm going to click the ok button now i can scan a bar code if you have a barcode scanner i can scan it right to the sales order i can click the add button from here i'm just going to type in a part number here add that and there's my related items window so again i have the cross referencing set up inside the system with the oem uh parts and the aftermarket parts so if i wanted to replace it with what one of these aftermarket parts i could simply click on it and click the replace button not going to do that i'm just going to go ahead and finish out this order so down here in the right hand corner i'm just going to click the finish button i'm going to go ahead and invoice the customer out from here and then i just choose the payment type i just double click in there it puts the amount in there and i click on done and there's my invoice you can put any kind of a message that you like on your invoice that you see down below here and then your logo we can put that onto the invoice and your company information at the top and then you can also capture the customer signature on the invoice and store that copy inside your system with your customer signature on it so when you're finished with that it takes you right back to the sales order entry screen so you're ready to do it in a sales order next i'm going to go into creating a new work order so at the top i just click on the work order entry button and from here again i just go in and i add my customer there's the bomb guard and again down at the bottom i have the properties and activity button so if i want to change the customer's address or phone number on the fly i can do that right from here i have my counter person at the top i have my sales rep i'm going to go ahead and add my technician in here the fail date and end date is going to populate automatically for me you can prioritize the work from right here and then you see here i have this lookup unit button so i can look up the customer's piece of equipment and again everything i'm doing right now on the work order entry screen you can be doing using the mobile app inside the system so here i can go ahead and click properties if i want to look and see what's been done to this equipment before so i just go to the work history tab and i can simply double click on it from here to open it up and then i can see down below here the parts that were added to it the labor that was performed on it any kind of extras what the symptoms were when the customer brought it in to me any kind of request the customer made so from here when i click the ok button it's going to drop the model number the manufacturer the serial nut number and the description right onto the work order for me then over here on the left hand side under the work order tab i just go down to job 1 and i enter in my job description once i have that entered in i can go right below it and put in any parts that i know i need for the job can be entered in any kind of labor that needs to be performed to it and i'm just going to show you an example of a service package here you can see what that looks like so with the service package you can build it out on all the labor that's going to be performed and then you can flat rate bill it out like i have inside the system here and it just drops everything right onto the work order for you below our labor is going to be our extras as you can see here the system automatically dropped the shop supplies and the disposal fees right onto the work order for me and you can have us set it up where this flat rate builds it out like we see here or you can have it build out as a percentage of the work order next i would enter in whatever the symptoms are so we can put in the symptoms codes that you use into the system there's also request codes that can be entered in here that you use as well and here is the time clock so this is what we use to track your your technician's labor efficiency rate so when they start working on this work order this is where they'd clock in and out of the work order right below that we have our scheduling calendar so from here you can see what your technician's schedule is on a daily weekly or monthly basis you can also go up here and create a new appointment by clicking on the new appointment button and you can put in a subject it defaults to a work order since we're in work orders and it'll have the employee's name you can put in a start date and then end time and again you can put a reminder in here to remind you to do the work it has the work order id number in there the customer id number and the customer's name and as far as the different types of appointments you can put in any kind of types of appointments that you'd like to use inside the system here at this point in time i'm gonna we've come up come up on the 30 minutes so i'm going to go ahead and open it up for questions so again please use the chat feature to type in any questions that you have okay i have a question from russ what percentage of technicians have their own laptop or tablet in the shop pretty much all of the ones rust that i dealers that i work with they either have a computer or they have a tablet in the shop okay i have a another question here can i show a discount on the invoice not as a message but as part of the invoice amount total invoice discount that i just want to conform as part of our po process can i add the part to a outstanding work order yes you can add discounts through the system and it will show that discount on the invoice you can do it as an individual line item where it just discounts whatever is above that discount line item or if you want to have a discount on everything that's on that sales invoice you would just add the discount as the very last line item and it will add that discount to all the products that are above it okay the next question is does the image allow you to save the invoice copies without having to scan them in yes russ uh asked the question how exactly was the 97 percent approval rating obtained russ we send out surveys at the end of the conversations that you have with our support technicians so when you receive the survey you would fill that out and rate how that support technician did in solving your problems and answering your questions so that uh approval rating is actually our customers that are giving us that approval rating through the surveys that they are filling out can an ipad be linked to the program absolutely so with the the mobile app you could use an ipad you could also use an android tablet such as a samsung tablet and again it doesn't have the full functionality of the program but it does give you the ability to do inventory counts and you can scan barcodes with the mobile app you can also do a work order from start to finish through the mobile app and you can look up the list msrp price on your serialized item and later this year you'll have the ability to do sales orders through the mobile app as well okay i have another question we are a bow dealer on the purchase order will pull multiple stock numbers and vin numbers for boat motors and trailers that one i will have to get back to you with that answer i'm going to have to check with our support team i'm not sure on the purchase order side of things if it will pull that information in based off of the serial number on that boat if you would please put your uh name and your phone number in there with your comment or your email address i'll make sure i get back to you with the uh the correct answer can you save all sales orders and invoices without having to scan them into the system yes you can do all sales orders and invoices can be saved inside the system and you can have it saved with the customer signature on those invoices so if you have our integrated credit card processing through gravity payments they would sign off on the invoice from that credit card terminal and if you don't have gravity payments you can get a topaz signature pad from us that the customer can use to sign off on the sales invoices and work orders how can i get more information on the system at the end here when we get done with the q a i'll bring up my email address and you can email me directly and if i'm not your territory sales executive i will pass it on to our the correct territory sales executive and have them reach out to you another question is is payroll available with ideal we do not have an integrated payroll module inside the system we do partner with a third party payroll program called red wing center paint center point payroll and it gives you the ability to export out of red wing center point and import it into ideals gl inside the system to track it through your general ledger or you can use whoever you want to use for your payroll and you can export out of ideal your employees hours out of the system there's another question here at the onset are there options to import inventory from quickbooks to ideal that's a great question we do do data conversions for dealers that are coming over from quickbooks what we would have to do is we'd have to get a sample of your data to see what your data looks like for us to be able to determine whether or not we would be able to perform that data conversion what sets ideal apart from the other similar offerings on the market number one we have the best support team in the industry we have plenty of references that we can provide you with the people that actually use ideal that love the system and anyone you're going to talk to that has ideal they're going to tell you how awesome our support team is which is really important some of our competitors may be on the west coast if you're on the east coast it may be three hours before they open up before you can even talk to someone in addition to that we reinvest more back into the product compared to anyone else so we're continually making enhancements to the software based upon the feedback that we're getting from our dealers and we come out with three new releases of ideal each year and it's based again upon the feedback it's enhancements that dealers are asking us to make inside the software you're never going to have to worry about your software becoming outdated it's always going to run on the latest version of microsoft windows and the latest hardware that's out there also we have more integrations with the suppliers and manufacturers in our industries that we serve compared to the other systems that are out there i could go on and on the best thing i would say is set up a time for a demo with your territory sales executive and we can go into even more detail to differentiate ourselves from our competitors another question is is the image only for equipment or can you put all paperwork in the image spot we have a function inside ideal that is a document management function it's cloud-based storage and we can include that with your system so you can include documents that you have and attach those two different places inside the system and that wouldn't be done under the images let me go over to a whole goods item here down here at the bottom of my screen you'll see this documents button this was where you could go in and you could add any kind of documents associated with this serialized item you can do that for all the products you can also attach documents to the customers accounts as well all right it's uh 1 45 here so i would just encourage everyone to again reach out to your territories executive i'm going to bring up my phone number here but you can reach out to me or you can call into this toll-free 800 number 800-737-1620 or you can email me at ryan dot tobot course at constellationdealer.com and i will get you the appropriate information that you're looking for get it over to the right sales executive and we'll get all of your questions answered
