In today's market, many new homebuilders find themselves providing production home buyers with a vast array of options and upgrades. Today, production homes are almost becoming what used to be called a "semi custom" production environment. P.O. Toolkit is available for SalesBuilder users so builders can take advantage of previously input data to generate option/upgrade p.o.'s -- quickly and easily!

Typically, sales office and/or design center personnel utilize SalesBuilder to work with buyers to develop selected options and upgrades and the appropriate purchase agreement paperwork. Frequently, the process of placing orders for the selected options and upgrades tends to be somewhat scattered as some options require a purchase from a single vendor (such as an upgraded microwave) while others (such as a deck) require placing orders with a wide variety of subcontractors. Standard purchasing environments are not set-up to manage such a process.

P.O. Toolkit is a CPS software application designed specifically for the new homebuilder purchasing environment. It is used to create and print purchase orders for options/upgrades. P.O. Toolkit leverages information created and maintained in CPS' SalesBuilder software to simplify the process and reduce duplicate data input. The SalesBuilder Master Option List and sales agreement process already contain much of the information needed to place orders for options/upgrades; P.O. Toolkit expands the Master Option List to include subcontractor information and creates and prints orders for options/upgrades. The result is a much more efficient option and upgrade ordering process. Builders realize increased accuracy and a reduction in the amount of time between buyer selections and order processing.

P.O. Toolkit is designed for use with SalesBuilder. Another CPS product designed to build buyer satisfaction!
