Savings (indirect)
As we keep systems up to date for customers with annual support
contract, which in itself is very competitively priced, changes in
procedures and documentation are easily incorporated and system
enhancements are also included at no extra charge, whereas we are
aware that some systems providers make substantial charges for these
additions
Thor Hammer estimates a
saving £450 per month on 30 exports per month
Mersey Lime has made savings of £25 plus
per shipment, and last but not least
The
Royal Mint has made savings of £12500 per annum. For the
miniscule extra work per job (usually asking for the flag of the
vessel), and the cost (?) of an e-mail, that seems to us to be a
magnificent saving. Are there any more takers out there? Your choice
but what a no-brainer !!! Please contact us on the support line if
you wish to consider starting to use this facility within the
system.
Data analysis through the available reports can
highlight other savings, for example logging freight charges gives
accurate reports of freight charges against consignments by
customer, country, forwarder and modes of transport THUS GIVING
ACCURATE COMPARISONS.

Testimonial
Thor Hammer, Solihull: Commercial Director says that the difference between Formwise and the other export systems is really the low cost, ease of use, incredible reporting facilities and SUPPORT. With Formwise you ring, get an immediate response and a solution which in several years has never taken more the 10 minutes - Mike guides you through the solution and often helps with problems that are not really associated with Formwise and he does not even complain when the problem is of your own making! I have changed accounting systems three times and on each occasion Mike has guided me through the linking the systems without any delay or drama. When I do the end of year insurance return, which used to take several hours listing values, countries and terms, a Formwise report completes it in seconds. Thor Hammer exports to over 80 countries and never have I found the system wanting, in fact, I keep finding new facilities - only last week I found I could do auto Certificates of Conformity - for years we had been typing them out. Just because Formwise is not expensive, do not for one moment think it is not the best - I changed from a system that was five times the price and nowhere near as good - they wanted to charge more for a link to a new accounting system than I paid for Formwise. In a business life nearing its conclusion, I have made many decisions I have later regretted, but purchasing Formwise is definitely not one of them.
