Purpose: Commissioned by a paint distributor to
provide an easy to use tool for their customers to produce
their paint products.
There are quite literally hundreds of thousands of
formulations and this application provides simple, flexible
options to select a 'known' product (i.e. reproduce a
specific known colour) or to find a colour where it isn't
known (i.e. find the specific red for a 2005 Ford Fiesta).
Below are some screen shots of the system with brief
captions. If you would like more detailed information then
please contact us.
The system allows simple selection of paint products from
literally thousands of formulations. The user can specify the
size and number of tins required to see the components and the
quantities of each that are required to produce this 'batch'.
The formulation can be printed, emailed as a PDF and even sent
electronically to a dispensing machine. Pricing can optionally
be displayed as is specific to the selected customer.
Dispense a Formulation
The system has support for sending the formulation in
electronic format to a dispensing machine that will
automatically dispense and mix the components.
Label Printing
The system supports a number of common label printers to
print product labels to be affixed to the tin(s);
Email Formulations as PDF Documents
With a single click the system converts the formulation to a PDF
document and attaches it to a new email that is pre-populated
with the customer's email address and some customisable boilerplate text;
Creating New and Customised
Formulations
This facility allows the user to customise existing
formulations to meet specific customer requirements or create
completely new formulations.
Flexible Formulation Search
Simple search facility to find formulations for a specific
make, model and year of car or truck;
Customer Records
The system provides for maintaining full customer details
(which can be synchronised with Sage 50 Accounts), customer
contacts and contact notes plus a complete history of paint
formulations produced. The customer can also be assigned to one
of any number of Price Books so the system automatically
displays appropriate pricing;
