IVY software description-white paper

IVY is inventory and Point-Of-Sale and electronic cataloging software for the aftermarket auto body/collision parts business. Ivy has automatic inventory adjustment from invoicing, Purchase Orders, customer file, complete sales history file, inventory editing spread-sheet screen, ongoing sales orders and estimates and much more. IVY is specially configured for purchasing, inventorying, looking up, and selling of aftermarket auto body/collision parts. Looking up the correct application for a collision part requires a catalog that tells what vehicle make-model-year a part will fit. IVY has 2 methods of working with catalog data: Internal catalog and External catalog.


                        IVY Internal Catalog

IVY comes with a built in electronic cataloging database that can be
loaded with application data from Excel™ spreadsheets that come from your
body parts vendors. Normally when you get a shipment or container from an
offshore supplier you will get with it an invoice or catalog spreadsheet
of the application data needed to sell the parts you have purchased.
IVY has a utility program that reads your application data and loads it
into the internal IVY catalog. This enables fast look-up of the parts you
have purchased by make-model-year in the IVY Catalog Look-Up Screen.


                        IVY External Catalog

Application data publishers, such as ABPA, offer aftermarket body parts
electronic cataloging data on CD or in a separate Windows program such as
Microsoft Access™. You may wish to subscribe to an external catalog to
obtain more accurate and timely catalog data than can be obtained directly
from your suppliers. You can then use your external catalog in the usual
way, do the part look-up in the external catalog by make-model-year. Then
use IVY to read your external catalog data directly from the screen and
look in your IVY database to see if you have the items wanted.

 * ABPA PARTSLINK™ compatible

                     IVY Customer Web Site

Your IVY inventory data will be uploaded to your own web site which will be
provided by Rossknecht Software. Your IVY inventory data and pictures will be
uploaded automatically every night to your web site. Internet users will be
able to browse to your web site and look up items in your inventory by 
make-model-year or by part number.
Now it is possible for your customers to place orders online from their
phone or any device with a web browser. This will automatically create a
sales order in your IVY system and send emails to you and your customer.
Here is a Demo website of IVY web inventory look-up with online ordering:

                       IVY CCC Direct Procurement option
                        for Auto Body Parts Warehouse

IVY now supports the CCC Direct Procurement process. This allows collision
repair shops and insurance companies using the CCC One Collision Repair
software in your area to automatically get live quotes from and place
purchase orders directly into your IVY database. The custom parts pricing
they are quoted is that which you have set in your IVY customer file.
Contact CCC for their info on this program: CCC Direct Procurement
