Business Partners at a Glance

Can't Remember Names, Don't Worry Axon Can!

Every day, we interact with many different people. We rely on rolodex and address books to keep an up-to-date list of all our contacts, but that isn't always adequate. We need a complete record of all our interactions with a company -- from payment requests to insurance arrangements to fuel surcharge rates.

Axon's Business Partners screen allows you to record a wide variety of information about all the companies that you do business with, including customers, suppliers, owner operators, and customs brokers. You can record so much more than simply addresses and phone numbers.
Axon's Business Partners screen also incorporates:

Maximum credit limits for individual customers

Individualized freight surcharge rates, freight rates, and taxes for each business

Contacts by your staff with a business (e.g. collection calls, calls to order supplies)

Direct deposit information

Scanned copies of documents and photographs related to a particular business partner

Default rates for picks and drops, and other charges

Ticket locations

In addition, the information is linked to all the other parts of Axon's trucking and accounting software:

Default pay rates will fill in automatically when you go to pay a driver, carrier or owner operator

Default fuel surcharge percentage rates for a particular customer will be applied on all their orders

Insurance policy information serves as the basis for expiry reminders

One business partner can be set up for multiple roles (e.g. customer and supplier)

You can review a statistical snapshot of all your transactions with a business partner during your company's past fiscal year

Axon stores all the relevant information about each of your business contacts in one place. This saves you time and eliminates the chance of errors. And it provides you with a complete record of all the pertinent information for each of your business contacts.

Randy Veinotte of Harland Veinotte Ltd. talks about using Business Partners
"The best part of this program from my perspective is the Business Partners component. I was using ACT before, and it was good. But this Business Partner feature is awesome! In terms of saving time and being organized, the Business Partners system itself has helped us immensely."
