"StraightBUY has eliminated the manual requisitioning
process currently used for many of Council purchases. The
reduced workload as result of the use of StraightBUY has freed-up
purchasing staff to focus their attention on strategic purchasing
and supplier relationships resulting in improved purchasing
decisions.
Mr Michael Dunemann, Director - Financial and Information

Mildura Rural City Council (Mildura, Vic)
"Online purchasing with StraightBUY has significantly
streamlined the time and expense taken by staff to source
and purchase goods, and now enables the Purchasing Administration
to concentrate on strategy and added value in overall council
spending. Purchasing is simply now a better job in which relationships
are built across the organisation that promotes decentrailised
empowerment methods along centralised controls, strategy and
business rules".
A real key has been the ability of the product to import
financial commitments into the main Financial Management System
that assists the Accounts Payable function, and reporting
systems to management. It has also been positively received
by local suppliers and has significantly reduced the time
taken for councils purchasing cycle to be completed. Straightbuy
has also been well received by various audit companies who
examine our Council's purchasing methods periodically."

Collins Industrial Distributors (Adelaide,
SA)
“With my StraightSELL online catalogue I can supply
my corporate and government clients who use online procurement
systems but also my small to mid-sized accounts. I can set
product and price lists which views are controlled, set-up
automatic calculation of freight, terms and display them to
the particular buyer I wish."
"I made a decision prior to commiting to this project
that I would do it properly, or not do it all. I have invested
heavily in this strategy and will continue to do so as the
results have been more than encouraging to date. My online
strategy is a part of the whole sales culture of my business
rather than just something I look at when I have the time."

World's Best Graffitti Products (Adelaide,
SA)
"Now I can say, all of my top five clients initially
found me in search engines on the internet. StraightSELL got
me to the top of search engines and is now keeping me there.
Not only this it gets me found high up under all relevant
search expressions which is important because different people
search for different things."
Mr John Rose, Managing Director |

Murray Computer & Office Shop (Murray
Bridge, SA)
"In our industry product and pricing can change daily
so it is impossible for us to have accurate price lists within
our accounting and inventory systems, let alone display them
online through an online ecommerce catalogue. We needed a
mechanism and automated process that would populate our online
catalogue with accurate data, ready for display on the internet.
From this, my customers could then access the catalogue, view
their own specific pricing and place orders."
Mr Darryl Gravestocks, Managing Director |

IBS Engineering Supplies (Innisfail, QLD)
"We had considered offering our complete product range
online through a web site for a long time but have been concerned
about the manual processes involved to keep product and price
lists up-to-date. With Integration Manager we can now receive
product and price lists from our numerous suppliers, easily
configure their data to suit our preferences and make them
available to online customers through StraightSELL".
Mr Bill Seawright, Managing Director |

Attiwills Home & Industry (Mount Gambier,
SA)
"CatalogueLINK allows us to easily export our inventory
and pricing data from Attaché Business Partner and
produce our StraightSELL online catalogue. Orders placed through
our catalogue by new or account customers can then be automatically
imported back into Attaché without the need for one
of my staff to manually key them in: this results in massive
savings with order processing for our business that directly
affects our bottom line".
Mr Ian Attiwill, Managing Director

Leadenhall Australia (Adelaide, SA)
"It was a somewhat unexpected bonus when we received significant
assignments from US based clients as a result of being found
in 2001 and 2002 in search engines when these clients typed
in the phrase “ business valuations Australia”.
The value of this work approached $100,000." Mr
Tim Lebbon, Executive Director |
