Solutions for the Horticultural and Groundcare Dealer

For more than 25 years, Ibcos Computers Ltd has been involved with Horticultural and Groundcare Dealers, writing software to handle the complexities of their business. To enable us to maintain pole position we work with customers such as Bartram Mowers, Godfreys, Nairn Brown, Burrows, Adamsons, Claymore, Cyril Johnston etc. Whatever the franchise agreements, be they John Deere, Textron, Toro, Hayter, Honda, Flymo, Stihl, Kawasaki or any other, Ibcos can assist with the administration. 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 lawnmower or cultivator, a garden tractor to a Smallholder or a piece of greenscare equipment to a Golf Club, Ibcos GOLD is for you. ARI Ibcos is in partnership with ARI for the benefit of the Dealer - together they provide: PARTSMART - an Electronic Parts Catalogue which can be linked to the GOLD Point of Sale routines TRADE ROUTE - an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) for transmitting stock orders electronically to Hayter and Textron. These orders can be generated on GOLD and sent directly to the manufacturer. Kawasaki Using a routine within IBCOS GOLD and Unix, the dealer has access to stock ordering and enquiry software commissioned via Kawasaki. Effectively this means that the dealer has on line access to Kawasaki via a VDU to order stock and enquire on the status of the stock. Flymo, Mitsubishi, ATCO, B&S, Barrus, Honda and Stihl Providing the Dealer has GOLD software and a PC running them, Ibcos can provide a link to allow the dealer to order stock. This link is via the Internet, orders are sent to a Folder for extraction by the manufacturer for processing and subsequent delivery. Price CDs Manufacturer price CDs are available to all Ibcos users for a wide variety of franchises. By converting the 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.
