What's This?

Yeah, I've Got 
Time For That...

Seven Ways DBOSS 
Helps Control Time. 


If only I had the time to...  well, whatever it is for you. You've probably wished you had more time... time to see more customers... to make more money... to spend with family... to rest up and take a great vacation.  These days it takes a lot of time in business just to keep up with the things you have to do.  Never mind the things you ought to do.  And who has the time to do anything they want to do?

That's where DBOSS can help!  This is a program that makes doing business easier.  While there are certainly more, here are seven ways DBOSS saves time.

1. Do A Number On Your Customer...
Price quotes for even the most complex products are figured accurately and instantly with no need for you to do any calculations. Probably the biggest reason dealers get started with DBOSS is its ability to quote prices.  In addition to saving time for you, this saves time for your customer as well and helps to give you a competitive edge. 

2. Do Another Number On Your Customer
DBOSS isn't limited to  helping you sell Hunter Douglas blinds, shades, shutters, sheers or louvers from Designer Blinds. It permits you to add other products to your quote.  This means you can provide your customer with just one quote and one receipt for all of the products you sell. 

3. EASY Updates!
DBOSS is a program that frequently adds new features, but you only have to install it once.  There's no need to wait for a "next version" on CD. Just check for updates occasionally online and DBOSS will update itself.  After the update, DBOSS will inform you of new features or improvements.

4. Place Orders ANYTIME - Day Or Night!
Okay. So you had a long day and you've got a busy morning scheduled tomorrow. You wake up remembering that you wanted to be sure to place that order today.  With DBOSS, there are several ways to place orders any time of the day or night. Connect to the internet and transmit your order in as little as a few seconds.  Then rest easy knowing your order is on its way.

5. Templates Guide The Way!
Templates are a great way to save time while you work! A template is a quote 'blueprint' that can be used to create new quotes. Templates are useful if you frequently enter quotes with similar product configurations. Templates are often used when working with customers who are purchasing a standard builder model. All the information on sizes is ready to go when you start with a customer. You can pre-select products to present to your client and easily adjust a whole house or a whole room at a time to different colors or even different products.

6. Compare & Replace Anything!
Compare products and change to a new product in a single window, a whole room or a whole house in just seconds while automatically updating your quote to reflect the change with no calculations of any kind.

7. Schedule All Aspects Of The Job!
DBOSS has time management tools that allow you to set your appointments as well as measurements and installations for your installer. At the same time, it's easy to keep detailed notes for yourself and provide your installer with detailed information. Get into the habit of keeping it all in DBOSS you'll never have to wonder where you put it

DBOSS Makes Your Life Easier
In product comparisons, adding options and many more ways DBOSS makes selling easier.  Your competitors that don't use DBOSS have a much harder time making these comparisons.  They are stuck with either doing public math or coming back with alternative quotes on another day. Often, their frustration shows through to the customer. Using DBOSS will help you stay pleasant and positive and professional as you help your customer quickly find the product and price that's just right.
