Actrol Parts Puts Chill on Rivals With Mobile Data Base
Overview Actrol Parts, based in Blackburn, Victoria, is one of Australia's major privately owned refrigeration and air-conditioning wholesalers. Actrol Parts wanted to get a competitive edge by improving the management of its quotes database for air-conditioning and refrigeration components. It needed a system where engineers and sales representatives working onsite with customers could give accurate and on-the-spot estimates for individual projects. IBM Business Partner Notability implemented an enterprise-wide mobile quotes system using Lotus Notes and Domino. The new system provides daily price updates on the 9,000 different types of components it supplies. Actrol engineers and sales representatives can now download up-to-date pricing data onto notebook computers and calculate estimates for clients on the spot.
