Solutions for the Agricultural Dealer

For over 20 years, Ibcos Computers Ltd has been designing software to control the administration in Agricultural Dealerships, whether they be AGCO, New Holland, John Deere, Case, SDF or any other franchise. IBCOS GOLD is a fully integrated business management system designed specifically for use by Dealers, Distributors, Importers and Hire Companies. Individual programs are taken from the suite to cover the required areas of operation and installed to match the company’s requirements. Our software offers complete scalability from single user systems to multi-depot, multi-company systems with hundreds of users. This makes ibcos Gold an ideal platform for the ever-changing business climate. The requirement for flexibility prompted us to develop a dual screen interface, with the option of any combination of Windows or Classic views. A full service provision including all hardware, networking, installation, consultancy, training and on-going support can be provided; alternatively we can work with existing infrastructure. Whether you are selling a plough, looking for parts for a tractor, servicing a combine or searching for new customers, IBCOS GOLD is for you. The supply of software to the Agricultural Dealer is the rootstock of our company. For over 20 years, the system has been developed in co-operation with Dealer Principals and their staff. The benefits of this co-operation are that new users of IBCOS GOLD have access to a computer system that talks their language and meets their needs. Whilst the general needs of all dealers are covered by the basic dealer software which is described in detail on the Dealer Software pages, the Agricultural Industry has additional facets of links directly with manufacturers’ own software - parts catalogues and stock orders etc. Please take a few minutes to read on to discover about our company, our products and our services and the links to your own franchises. AGCO Because of a high level of cooperation between Agco and Ibcos, we can offer our dealers a range of products designed to speed up working routines, avoid duplication and guarantee data accuracy. Price CDs Manufacturer price CDs are available to all Ibcos users. By converting the AGCO price CD to GOLD format, the dealer's parts file is automatically updated with new Retail and Dealer Nett prices. A report at the end of the exercise shows the overall movement for accountancy purposes. This is a time-saving routine providing accurate pricing minutes after a price change is made.

The current routine allows for an automatic production of the Agco Warranty Form from details input into GOLD to administer the costs of warranty and the loss and gain of such an exercise within the dealership. CDROM / Invoicing Links Ibcos can provide an automatic data link between the Agco PC with its CD images (Electronic Parts Catalogue) and GOLD. A picking list of parts to be sold is raised on the PC and on completion passed automatically to the GOLD system for pricing, extending and subsequent invoicing. This saves duplication, guarantees accuracy and avoids 2 PCs on the counter. Stock Orders Stock orders, emergency or monthly, can be raised on Ibcos GOLD and sent direct to Agco electronically. This avoids re-keying the details at both the dealer and supplier ends, thus avoiding mistakes and making the operation both speedy and seamless. New Holland Price CDs Manufacturer price CDs are available to all Ibcos users. By converting the New Holland price CD to GOLD format, the dealer's parts file is automatically updated with new Retail and Dealer Nett prices. A report at the end of the exercise shows the overall movement for accountancy purposes. This is a time-saving routine providing accurate pricing minutes after a price change is made.

This saves re-keying data from one system to another, and also gets the claim into the manufacturers computer more quickly thus potentially speeding up the payment. CDROM / Invoicing Links Ibcos can provide an automatic data link between the New Holland PAL PC with its CD images and GOLD. A picking list of parts to be sold is raised on the PC and, on completion, passed automatically to the GOLD system for pricing, extending and subsequent invoicing. This saves duplication, guarantees accuracy and avoids 2 PCs on the counter. Stock Orders Stock orders, emergency or monthly, can be raised on Ibcos GOLD and sent direct to New Holland electronically. This avoids re-keying the details at both the dealer and supplier ends, thus avoiding mistakes and making the operation both speedy and seamless. John Deere John Deere has produced two software packages to help the Dealer interface seamlessly between the IBCOS GOLD system and John Deere's own computers. POINT stands for Parts On the Internet This transfers stock orders raised via IBCOS GOLD, via the JD PC and the Internet, to John Deere’s own computer avoiding the need to print out details and post/fax them through. Because the transfer is electronic the order is processed immediately by John Deere and the parts can be delivered without administrative delay. In order to take advantage of this, it is necessary to have a link from the machine running IBCOS GOLD and the John Deere PC, which must have internet access. VISION is John Deere’s electronic Parts Catalogue. From GOLD’s Point of Sale Invoicing module, a dealer may call up the Parts Catalogue, check specification, availability and price for the customer’s verification, then transfer the details as an item on to the GOLD invoice.

By converting the John Deere price CD to GOLD format, the dealer's parts file is automatically updated with new Retail and Dealer Nett prices.
