The architecture of Salesmatrix makes it theoretically possible
to cater for any change of system. However, keep in mind that the
data from your existing system may not completely be transferred
into the new system, or you may decide to start afresh with the
new framework. If you have questions about how Salesmatrix will
work with your proposed new system, don't hesitate to contact us.
We can provide advise and even assist you to create Salesmatrix
scripts that will return data in the same format you currently expect.
Does Salesmatrix have budgetting features?
From Salesmatrix v4 onwards, Salesmatrix has a very comprehensive
budget creation module, allowing current data to be turned into
comprehensive 4-dimension [Salesman, product (or product group),
customer (or customer group) and time] budgets.
I need to analyse the transactions at one sales
location. Can I do it?
or
I need to analyse the transactions for one
group of products. Can I do it?
Check out the Create Subset
option in Salesmatrix v4.
This allows you to narrow your dataset to a particular section
of your market and deal with that data alone.
The Create Subset tool creates additional smaller datasets without
having to script or reconnect to your original invoicing system.
For example if you want to focus on the sales generated by one particular
product or from one supplier, or if you want to send the sales data
for one state to that states sales manager, then the subset tool
makes this very easy.
What accounting systems does Salesmatrix v4 work with?
|
In a similar manner to previous versions, Salesmatrix
can work with any accounting system that has an ODBC driver.
We have several Premier Partners who have a trained dealer
network capable of installing, supporting and customising
Salesmatrix if required. These are:
- Sage ACCPAC
- Attaché
- Attaché Prophet NZ
- Business Manager

Will my version 2 and version 3 scripts work with Salesmatrix
v4?
|
Yes they will, but you can find more details about the
additions to scripts for version 3 by clicking on the following
help page.
|
How do I get extra categories into the customer dimension
so that I can take advantage of Quadrant analysis?
|
You will possibly need to talk to your software consultant,
or to the salesmatrix support team to find out what cutomer
categories are available in your accounting software. In
some software systems there are anly 2 or 3 customer categories
stored, in which case the categories will have to entered
manually or created using the assessment tool. Call Salesmatrix
for a quote on getting a script written for your requirements.
|
How can I change the colours in the Row and Column Graphs?
|
If you right-click on the graph you will get a host of
new options that will let you modify the graph colours,
axis details etc. Also included in the installation is a
help file describing the details. Once you have a graph
set up, this can be stored as 'default.oc2' and it will
be used in future graph displays.
|
Can I analyse my Products by Supplier?
|
Yes, if the Supplier is available in your accounting
system, this is able to be done easily in the Quadrants
view.
|
Every year I roll-forward our financial data and archive
the previous year’s data, so that the only information available
in our database is the current year. Can I still see the
previous year’s data in Salesmatrix?
|
Salesmatrix Australia has a product in production
that allows import from more than one ODBC source. Expect
to see a release of this in the 2nd quarter 2007.
|
In the past I have used Salesmatrix on my desktop computer
in the office and also on my laptop. Can I do this with
version 4?
|
If you have been using a single licence for two computers
in the past, call Salesmatrix Australia for a quote to get
your computers updated.
|
Will Salesmatrix be useful to me, if I have a large
number (10,000+) of products?
|
It’s likely that if you have a large number of products
to analyse, you’re probably evaluating by product groups
rather than individually. If this is the case, Salesmatrix
scripts can be developed to import product group summaries
rather than individual figures, which will allow you to
analyse your data in the Salesmatrix environment without
having an enormous & difficult to view cube.
|
Will Salesmatrix v4 work on Terminal Server?
|
Yes, we have a number of users deploying Salesmatrix
in this environment. Version 4 on a terminal server is sold
as a multi-iser licence. Please contact Support at Salesmatrix
Australia if you have any specific queries regarding this
environment.
