BUENA PARK, CA Autologue’s AIS Warehouse Advantage Program, originally designed as a management system for small- to medium-sized jobbers, has been expanded for large warehouse distributors.
According to Autologue, the AIS system contains all the necessary EDI ordering connections to the warehouse distributor as well as the ability to provide custom pricing upload files. The AIS System comes with a high-performance Linux Server that connects to most Microsoft PC networks.
Now Autologue offers the new AIS eTraining and AIS eLearning voice over functionalities that in most cases, with the warehouse distributor’s participation, can be converted and trained via the Internet and phone support.
The AIS systems feature a number of tools, including ePart Connection, which includes TSBs, service intervals, vehicle specifications, monthly specials, promotions and a full presentation of non-catalog products (i.e. chemicals, accessories, tools, etc.). It is also equipped with ePaperless Office, which can provide office staff and technicians the ability to view, print or email invoices, statements and parts purchased via the Internet.
AIS also supports an integrated eDelivery Tracking module. eDelivery provides real-time data, detailing at what time the parts were ordered, time of dispatch and what parts are on the way. If equipped with GPS tracking and a hand-held device, eDelivery plots the delivery routes on Google Maps. It also captures the signature on the hand-held device and then the invoice is sent directly to eOffice.
AIS’s ePad provides electronic signature capture at the front counter for walk-in wholesale customers, (no scanning, no filing, no faxing, no three-part invoices, no envelopes and no stamps).
Among Autologue’s customers utilizing the AIS system are SAE, Sioux Falls, SD; Automotive Jobbers Supply, Spokane, WA; A.E.D. Portland, OR; Star Warehouse, Phoenix, AZ; Frank Edwards, West Valley City, UT; Monroe Motor Products, Rochester, NY; Specialty Sales, Spencer, IA; and One Stop Undercar Santa Ana, CA.
