Electronic Office Supplies

Axis First offers a key optional module, AXEOS, for office product dealers that provides:

An EOS Database
EOS Price Feed updates
Subscription-based web access to latest printer compatibility database for product identification of 'what goes with what'
Accurate product cross-referencing with all the major EOS suppliers
A mechanism to calculate revised cost prices, including a specified mark-up, which in turn may be used to re-calculate selling prices

The AXEOS module facilitates a one-stop operation and assists the operator in identifying which printer or consumable the customer requires. Accuracy of information is assured, thus eliminating incorrect supply, and improving both customer service and profitability.

In addition, of course, all of the optional modules and standard functionality available to AXIS Diplomat users is also available to the AXIS Diplomat/OP user, including:

Powerful and flexible pricing and discounting options
