Administration
a. Progress Chasing
Krystal Ball reduces a salesman’s paperwork and the constant checking to see where a car is allowing salesmen to sell and this in turn frees administrators up to administrate!
b. Forecasting
Krystal Ball uniquely is an order based system not an invoiced based system which means you can accurately forecast. Often at retailer level it’s far to late to resolve poor performance each month looking retrospectively at historical accounts data after invoices have been produced and reconciled.
Krystal Ball’s unique real time information empowers you to take those important decisions before its too late!
c. Reconciliation
Manufacturer bonus payments are an area of important income, these monies are often held back so it’s vital you have a system you can rely on to accurately reconcile these – Krystal Ball does this. It can ensure that you have the information available to challenge the manufacturer for any monies not paid or query incorrect bonus payments etc.
