Automated Substitutions to help your bottom line.

Automated Substitutions just got a lot easier..  

A great way to earn more money and still provide the best level of service for your customer is through the use of Generic or Private Label products that offer the same quality at a better price and typically a higher gross margin. In the pharmaceutical world it's not only established business practice, it's a whole separate industry.  For Medical Surgical distributors and the rest of the Distribution world a private branded generic alternative has many benefits. 

The MDS-Nx system easily allows you to designate alternate substitute item , Cross Sell Items and Up sell items to wring the most out of every line sold and every sales opportunity.. 

But hey. We digress, As a distributor balancing the need to push those products with your customers preferences can be a problem.  We want to sell sell sell and the bottom can sometime be king however now we have both sides of the puzzle figured out for you.

Easily manage customers who won't or can't take and equivalent product. 

Now with the Updated MDS Customer Specific Substitution Logic you can choose from a number of options that will make it much simpler to push those generics without causing customers who cannot or will not take a substitute product any problems. 

Options Include: 

• Automatically changing items based upon a product profile or Requiring Operator Intervention
• Customer Specific exemptions from substitutes on a specific item.
• Tracking of the reason for the sub, (out of stock vs better margin etc)

So it's up to you and your sales reps how to handle your customers. Make the experience profitable and memorable and your customers will return time and time again.

Good News, Bad News....

According to the Nacha/AFP Trends and Developments in Corporate Fraud Protection Report (click here)...  The Good news is that Check Fraud is on the decline , the bad news is that it's still a big problem. As is Credit Card and Other types of fraud.  One way to the Scammers at their own game is Positive Pay.  See below for more..  “While the exciting and glamorous fraud topics today involve wire fraud, account takeovers, ID theft, and skimming, the results of the Association for Financial Professionals’ annual corporate fraud survey remind us that the most fraud vulnerable instrument available today is the paper check.” Richard Oliver, Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank What is Positive Pay? Positive Pay is an automated fraud detection tool offered by the Cash Management Department of most banks. In its simplest form, it is a service that matches the account number, check number and dollar amount of each check presented for payment against a list of checks previously authorized and issued by the company. All three components of the check must match exactly or it will not pay.   MDS Allows for Positive Pay in three Ways: • File Creation Each bank has its own unique file format which MDS has built in templates for. • File Transmittal MDS will create the file and allow you to transmit the file via email, web upload or FTP • Research The MDS Detail Check Inquiry will allow you to see who was paid on each check and email verification to the bank if requested.
