Horizon Web Features

A Fully Integrated On Line Web System

Horizon-Web by BlueSky provides you with the E-Commerce solution that operates with your Horizon system.  Both these systems are installed at your offices and connect to the internet using your broadband ADSL or SDSL line.  Your customers can place purchase orders directly into Horizon using the Horizon-Web software with pricing, contracts and order pads being accessed from the Horizon system.  This means that you eliminate the need to maintain two sets of data.  Horizon-Web is also an account management system allowing your customers to access all their orders, outstanding invoices, quotes, outstanding balances and current statement.  Other 3rd party Ecommerce systems can also integrate with your Horizon-Web software, so if you have already invested in another solution you can still maintain services to your customers and protect this investment.  The innovation behind the Horizon-Web software managing the order process into your Horizon system will result in lower overheads, less mistakes and increased turnover from your customers.  Also as the systems are installed on your premises the control of your business marketing tools are placed firmly in your hands and are not placed at risk by other outside organisations.

User Comments

“I’ve started using a back office system which really works for my business” says one large user from the North West.  “It’s so easy for our team to use, my sales staff or management are one simple click away from viewing orders that are incorrectly priced or below an acceptable margin.  Once corrected the superb drill down features in BlueSky Horizon allows us to update the customer’s contract to prevent a repetition of the same problem.  A customer’s contract can also tell me his spend by each product line so we can now make sure we have on his contract the right products for his needs.  All these features have put an extra couple of points on our profitability, so when we add the savings made from using our broadband link for wholesaler ordering and customer services we’ll have paid for our investment within 18 months.” 

Another user from Cheshire has gained great benefit from using Horizon Web.  “We transferred all our users to the system in just under 2 months and user reaction has been very positive.  Our customers say how easy the system is to use and clients who had stopped using our previous system are now back ordering online.  Because Horizon Web is using the prices and products from our Horizon system the order we receive from the customer is correct and on receipt the sales contact for that customer is advised of its arrival”  All users are happy to allow reference site visits by other Office Product Dealers.

Comments made by another large London user are - “The system is fantastic.  It’s doing more for us than our previous system ever did and because BlueSky listen to their customer suggestions, the system is getting even better.” Prospective users can contact BlueSky to find out which user is suitable for visiting and help with making that first contact.
