Creative Programming for Today's Creative Applications - A Certified Ethical Practices Company

 

 

About our company...

 

For the past 22 years, we have responded to the needs and requests of our customers to find the most efficient and profitable method to sell their products.  We specialize in the sales of excess, end of life products, and manufacturing components and most importantly, software to sell these products on-line.  Since the beginning, one of our primary objectives has been to make sure we don’t compete with our customer’s primary channels.  Keeping that in mind, we have established a network of channels worldwide that are typically not considered the “A” channel to our customers.

 

Over the years, we have continued to work with our customers on developing new channels, new methods for creating offerings in which buyers compete for the purchase and more efficient distribution methods. We believe you will find our products interesting and intriguing - most importantly – they work.  We also enjoy what we do and enjoy the people we work with.  Perhaps that’s one of the reasons our customers have been with us as long as they have!

Company Description:

Compudigital has produced 2 primary software packages used to become Sarbanes Oxley compliant with respect to the sales of excess and obsolete material.  Our MeetComp® package is used to automate the process of meeting the competition’s pricing. This automated pricing approval system is used by many major manufacturers.  Our programming staff is conversant in many programming languages including .NET, Cold Fusion, C++, and other typically used languages. One of the advantages of using Compudigital is our ability to move quickly in producing customized applications. As the demands of these requests flex, so does our programming staff.

 

Using the MeetComp® tool, the manufacturer enters their own product information and pricing detail into our pricing database. As the market pricing continues to change, the marketing executives responsible for product pricing go to the WEB and research competitive product pricing for similar models manufactured by others. A representative from the manufacturer is usually the interface between the manufacturer and the eventual distributor or seller. As distributors communicate with the manufacturer’s representative, current pricing information is discussed, often with a request to drop the pricing because competitive models are available for less. As these price change requests arise, the manufacturer’s representative enters a MeetComp request using our Online Tool. The MeetComp® system then systematically obtains automated pricing approvals to adjust pricing to meet the competition, thus the name MeetComp®.

 

The term MeetComp® is a word used by many manufacturers to indicate a process by where pricing is adjusted to meet the pricing of the competition. The MeetComp® system assists manufacturers in becoming Sarbanes Oxley compliant in reference to price adjustment data tracking. All MeetComp® requests are tracked and available to your audit staff using extensive and detailed reporting.

 

 

ExcessManager®, is a Web Based highly targeted sales tool has been under development for 4 years at Compudigital. Fortune 100 companies have been using the tool for many years to control the sales of their excess materials. The WEB based tool allows any manufacturer to easily sell their excess products, current products, or raw materials.

 

One of the concerns about manufacturers selling their excess has always been the impact on primary market channels. The ExcessManager® Tool was developed to minimize the impact on the primary markets and has proven to generate new customers that normally do not buy through the standard market channels. The tool was designed to control sales within geographic boundaries in order to protect  markets in other regions.

 

ExcessManager® is loaded on a server at one of Compudigital’s State of the Art Data Centers or, it can be supplied as an application that can be loaded by the user’s own IT Department. In either case, the tool allows your company sales representative(s) full control of all sales with extensive sales tracking data. A WEB based administrative interface provides the manufacturer with full control of all sales, tracking data, the ability to upload data files of items for sale at any time or through EDI automation from SAP, Oracle or other systems.

 

A major advantage of the ExcessManager® tool is the ability of the server to recommend bid awards based on the highest return to your company, not based on friendships or personal alliances. All sales award decisions and information are fully auditable and traceable to the responsible sales representative(s). Award decisions made outside of the system recommendations are tracked and recorded in order to meet Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance. Online reports are available to any system administrators or auditors on a 24/7 basis with the correct security clearance and can be emailed using automation at any specified interval. 

 

The system includes a secure WEB portal for your customers where they can view and purchase all of the offered items on line and in real time. Customers also have access to purchase reports and tracking information for their orders. The system allows the customer to purchase the product(s) immediately online with the convenient shopping cart (for Fixed Price Sales) or, can submit bids for any Sealed Bid or Auction items from one convenient screen.

 

Compudigital offers sales management and warehousing services for those manufacturers that don’t have the resources to manage the sales of their excess materials. We can supply a list of buyers or you can provide your own. Currently, Compudigital maintains a list of over 2,500 buyers of excess electronic products.
