Quick
Turn-Around for Qualified Customers
For those
cases where a small product quantity is required, Advantech’s
BTOS is a perfect fit. Maybe a customer needs one engineering
sample, or is selling a low volume item and requires just a few
units per month. Instead of investing in costly inventory that
sits around in storage, they take advantage of Advantech’s BTOS
service, where 98% of incoming orders are completed within three
days.
Efficient
Online Project Initiation
To start a
project, a customer logs in at http://b2b.advantech.com.tw/Login/login.asp
then fills in the particulars for the project. Single Board PC
with processor, plus appropriate selection of chassis, memory,
HDD, FDD, SSD, CompactFlash, are all available online, at the
click of a mouse. One of the great time savers of this system
is the that the system helps the customer navigate the way to
a logical, working system.
Previously,
incompatible components were occasionally (not to say often) specified,
then some effort was required to straighten out the errors. Now,
as the customer makes selections, subsequent menus are automatically
limited to those components that are compatible with his previous
choices. So as he goes, he builds a workable system. When the
order is completed and submitted, it goes directly to the factory
for completion.
If the customer
is just checking, and not ready to order immediately, any project
configuration may be saved to a name specified by the customer,
and retrieved at a later date. Similarly, project price quotes
may also be saved and retrieved. Special delivery requests, such
as two-day rush delivery (subject to geographical limitations),
or delivery on a specific day, may be entered in the “notes” section.
