Do you have two or more stores using Cad Quest design modules? Do you have a sales force with laptops running Cad Quest design modules? If you do, then you’re a candidate for the Admin Tool.



What can the Admin Tool do for you?
  • Integrates with Your Existing POS System so your inventory is always in sync with Cad Quest design modules
  • Flawlessly Helps You Maintain Availability to reduce special orders and save money
  • Enables You to Maintain Products Sold Across Stores so the Cad Quest modules design with materials the store can supply
The Admin Tool Integrates with Your Existing POS System
Instead of having to manage SKUs on an individual store basis, the Admin Tool connects to your POS system.


BENEFITS:
  • The materials your store uses are always accurate and up-to-date in the Cad Quest modules—ensuring precise estimates
  • You save time by only having to update the materials once, instead of once per store
  • The availability for materials is always known
Because the Admin Tool gets its information directly from the POS system, availability changes don’t slip under the cracks. If you no longer carry a certain material, the Admin Tool marks it as Invalid, and searches for other materials to replace it.



The Admin Tool Flawlessly Helps You Maintain Availability
You’re using window trim A at your North store and window trim B at your South store, and trim A becomes unavailable, the Admin Tool checks the other store and substitutes trim B—assuming it is available at the North store. If not, it gives you the option of manually substituting the material.



Chances are, our tool can make many substitutions for you—correctly—without your involvement. This one small example, saves you time and money when you export your POS data to the Admin Tool.



Discover ordering discrepancies. Companies who use the Admin Tool find themselves adjusting their ordering! Some stores would order certain windows but neglect to order the proper trim to accompany the window. A customer ordering that window then needs a special order or a trip to another store. Using the Admin Tool has actually benefited stores in ways they didn’t anticipate.



Stores with different availability? We realize that not all stores carry al lines of products. Availability can vary greatly. You can eliminate this problem with the Admin Tool. How?
  1. The Admin Tool centralizes the data and then passes it on to the individual stores.
  2. If your stores have different inventories, you can set the data to be transferred on a ‘per store’ basis.
  3. If the stores have similar inventories, you can set certain items globally, so they are exported the same to each store.
  4. The Admin Tool ensures Cad Quest modules never design with materials that aren’t stocked at that particular store, eliminating costly special orders or irritated customers.
For instance, assume your stores all stock the same screws and nails for construction, but they don’t carry the same soffits. When you export the data from the Admin Tool to the individual stores, you set nails and screws for global distribution and soffits are set on a per store basis. If a material marked for global distribution is not available at a particular store, the Admin Tool tells you.



The Admin Tool Enables You to Maintain Your Products Across Stores
If your stores span across the country, you’re fully aware that different regions use different building materials. Using the Admin Tool, you can make sure each of your stores is using its region's building materials.



These are called Preferences in the Cad Quest modules, and having them set correctly is another way the Admin Tool can decrease maintenance time and save money by reducing special orders.



Save Time
We’ve highlighted some of the basic benefits to using the Admin Tool, but the biggest benefits of all is how much time and money you’ll save. If you have multiple stores and want to keep your Cad Quest modules designing, estimating, and making money for you talk to us and get the Admin Tool to simplify your business.
