The
RepDollar 2000 Advantage
By
now you are probably aware of RepDollar 2000's distinct
advantages. This is a product that provides everything
you need in one conveniently integrated suite to ensure
that you can perform at your peak.

The primary
benefit that our company, ACF Associates have received from the
RepDollar 2000 System has been the ability to track orders for on
time delivery. Monetarily, the program has allowed our company to
catch mistakes by manufacturers when paying commissions. Last year,
we collected $12,000 in back commissions that we would have never
caught if not using the RepDollar 2000 software system.
Xcelsoft has
been very responsive to our needs as a company. Xcelsoft is always
very friendly and willing to help. I would highly recommend purchasing
the annual support or maintenance contract. Having this contract
allows you unlimited technical support which can be extremely helpful
to your inside salespeople.
Chuck Folse,
President
ACF Associates
I have been
using RepDollar and RepDollar 2000 software and support service
since 1987. In all those years I have never had to wait more than
24 hours for a support call back and 99% of the time Xcelsoft has
been available and able to help on the first call. Their willingness
to support the product was demonstrated when a failing hard drive
on my server corrupted my RepDollar 2000 data base and I had not
adequately backed up my data. I FedXed a copy of the corrupted data
base to Xcelsoft on Friday and they sent back a repaired copy on
the following Monday. At no charge!
The RepDollar
software package is well thought out and well documented, and is
a great value. I do not know what I would have done all of these
years without Xcelsoft's great software. RepDollar 2000 presented
a smooth transition from the DOS version virtually bug free. With
this package we can constantly track our sales and sales activity
to ensure success for our company. The ease with which we can calculate
the most complex commission program ensures that our salespeople
are paid in a timely and accurate manner.
Xcelsoft has
always been willing to do continuous updates and improvements to
their programs and has been willing to do custom features for a
reasonable price as well. My sincere thanks to Xcelsoft for being
a "partner" in support of our efforts at M-REP, Inc.

We have been
a user of RepDollar/RepDollar 2000 for approximately 15 years. RepDollar
has been an invaluable tool for our organization from many standpoints:
Efficient and accurate order entry with our Principals, ready tracking
of order status for customers, efficient means of commission tracking
& collection. RepDollar 2000 enables us to readily "find" additional
commission dollars on a quarterly basis. These dollars are typically
the result of Principals either incorrectly calculating the commission
(based upon their formula) or overlooking payment on certain invoices
due to problems with their A/P software.
The ability
to quickly run reports at every stage of an order (e.g. order expedite,
aged invoice, etc.) and use those reports to request data from our
Principals allows us to run our organization much more efficiently.
Xcelsoft technical
support has been first rate in terms of responding to issues we
have encountered over the years. In addition, Xcelsoft has been
very responsive to incorporating requests into future releases or
doing custom programming if a given request doesn't have broad appeal.
Pat Killen,
Vice President

Until we began
using RepDollar, we didn't realize how much money our manual system
allowed to go uncollected. By starting to track an order at the
verbal stage and by catching all our principals mistakes, we have
saved thousands of dollars.
We are unusual
in that we book commissions on order. Commissions are payable to
the salesman the month they bring in the PO. We like the incentive
of this arrangement. It took custom modifications of RepDollar to
accommodate our special needs in this respect. Xcelsoft was quick,
thorough, and reasonable in providing for these needs.
From time to
time, we have reviewed other software packages. There has never
been a reason to change.
Jed Nadler,
President
Vertec Associates, Inc
We have used
the RepDollar software system for over ten years and not only have
found the software to maintain pace with the changes in software
technology but the technical support level to be nothing short of
superb.

After looking
at almost every software package that was available for rep's at
the time, Over & Over purchased the original version of RepDollar
in 1985. Within the first two years, we more than recovered the
cost of the package with our ability to track and collect unpaid
commissions from our principals.
We recently
purchased RepDollar 2000 and I can't say enough about the improvements.
Because it is so much easier and faster to use than the old version,
we are now entering our orders with even more detail than we were
before. It runs so much faster that I can now do things in minutes
that were taking me hours and sometimes days. We did look at some
of the other packages available, but Xcelsoft has always been so
supportive and willing to make whatever changes we needed that we're
just more comfortable dealing with Xcelsoft.
Our sales people
love the new reports, especially now that I can convert them to
spreadsheets. I love the flexibility I now have on the reports.
The ability to use the query feature and sort the data actually
allows me to do my own "custom" reports without having to pay for
additional programming. I would highly recommend this package to
any rep and would welcome any prospective customers to visit our
site and see first hand how well this system works.
Karen
Henderson, Owner
Over & Over, Inc.
Nova Marketing,
Ltd. has used RepDollar software since 1985. We have found the integrity
of the software to be extremely reliable with no down time. Xcelsoft
has consistently updated RepDollar, met our needs as far as custom
requirements and provided technical support. Xcelsoft has always
been open to any and all suggestions as to ways to improve RepDollar.
We use RepDollar
for: Numerous sales reports/inquiries to provide data for
Rep. Reviews (promotes accountability to our principals).
Analyze and manage Salesmen's Customer Base Cash Flow Projections
Track Bookings from purchase order through shipments and
commissions received from principal Provides historical data
by customer, principal and part number (Inquiries or reports)
Opportunity/Quote Tracking Maintain contacts by customer
The things
we really like about RepDollar 2000 are: Allows for the easy application
and reconciliation of commissions through it's invoice and POS data
entry and cash posting systems Commission discrepancies
The "commission" reports are comprehensive and allow for
the easy tracking and payment of salesman commission salaries
RepDollar 2000 is comprehensive in reporting and tracking features,
yet simplified in data entry features It is very user friendly
with many data entry shortcuts RepDollar 2000 allows us to
maintain very detailed order and shipment records, as well as, extremely
detailed commission records Ease of tracking Quotes & Samples
Part Number inquiries and shipping/booking reports are invaluable
to Inside & Outside Sales Being able to partially replicate
so salesman's data resides on their notebook and then synchronize
to main database
RepDollar has
saved Nova a large amount of dollars in recouping commissions that
principals have overlooked.
Linda Mccullough,
MIS manager
Nova Marketing, Ltd
The primary
benefit of the RepDollar system is that I am able to collect forgotten
money from principals. Even my best principals make mistakes, and
Xcelsoft software has more than paid for itself with its tracking
abilities. Forecasting is much easier because we can retrieve historical
data in many different usable formats. Our time management of accounts
has also become more productive.
It is surprising
to find out that the most money often comes from accounts we do
not cover well. The RepDollar 2000 account management system allows
us to focus our attention and properly maintain all of our accounts.
This software package follows receivables with such detailed information,
you can delegate any job to an inside office person and then track
their efforts with many different reports.
Ed Sox,

ESCO Associates
The primary
benefit we receive form the RepDollar 2000 system is our ability
to keep track of all activity regarding a customer from order placement
to invoice to commissions paid on any order. The program keeps this
information in a manner that allows us to quickly compute the commissions
due any salesman on a per customer/principal basis. This program
allows us to collect more commissions by keeping up with all open
orders and invoices that are past due. If a principal is delinquent
on their commissions, it is easy to determine this.
RepDollar helps
manage the time spent on each account by keeping track of the revenue
produced by each account. This helps in making decisions on where
to allocate resources. I strongly recommend that a representative
use some sort of database management program to keep track of their
overall business. I have looked at three different programs and
the RepDollar2000 which is geared to the rep business, was the easiest
to learn, make changes and offered the most flexibility.
The technical
support has been very good. Xcelsoft is always available and has
a good knowledge of the Microsoft products. Xcelsoft has also been
responsive in making minor changes to make the program a better
overall product. I would recommend RepDollar 2000 to anyone considering
a new database management product. I would recommend having a detailed
discussion with them prior to adding a network if one does not already
exist. They can probably suggest products that are compatible with
this program and make the program run much faster.

The RepDollar
2000 software system has given us easy access to much needed financial
information. Access to this data has helped our company to grow
successfully.
RepDollar 2000
has allowed us to earn and collect more commission in many ways.
By submitting the aging reports to principals, in some cases we
had more information than our principals did on sales activities.
Time management
of our accounts is so much more productive. The descending order
reports have kept us focused on our largest and key accounts. We
have found RepDollar 2000 to be one of the key factors in our overall
growth for the past 13 years.
We have compared
it with competitors software, mostly offered through ERA, and have
found, in some respects, their capabilities lacking. Xcelsoft's
technical support has been very responsive in meeting any custom
programming needs we've had. When we have found ourselves in need
of data, outside of the normal program, RepDollar 2000 has been
very efficient in providing software solutions to our special problems.
Pat Conahan,
President
PMC Technical Sales
Without RepDollar
2000, there would have been no easy way to keep track of purchase
orders, commissions and payments. The program is easy to use and
accurate. Its report generating capabilities has also helped us
to look at our sales in many different ways, by territory, salesmen
or principal, or combinations of these. The technical support has
been great. Xcelsoft always gets back promptly and will stay with
you until the problem is solved. The good news is that there are
very, very few problems.
Harvey
Olifson , Vice President
Midwin & Olifson, Inc.
We changed
over to RepDollar 2000 during January 1999, our many concern at
that time was becoming Y2K compliant. The added options available
have proved to be great time-savers as well as making us a more
professional Rep company. We added the Replication feature and gave
all our field sales people Laptop's. They now enter all of their
Business Opportunities and Quotes into their systems and we synchronize
with the main system once a week.
We have standardized
all our monthly reports that are required from our principals and
now can generate these reports with the push of a button instead
of trying to remember what we have done the last 30 days. The added
benefit is that we now provide more up-to-date and complete information.
Xcelsoft has been extremely helpful in customizing these reports
to meet our needs.
We just recently
started importing POS data into the system via the Generic Pos Import
option. This used to take hours and hours, now it takes minutes.
