The AVT Engagement and Solution

AVT was recommended to Tip Top to assist with the business transformation project and provide an in-depth analysis of the issues confronting the business. AVT conducted a series of workshops with the business and systems owners at Tip Top Equipment.  AVT’s implementation team provided expertise to assist the Tip Top team in the reworking of processes and procedures to implement Netsuite and AVT NetSuite Modules into the full breadth of business functions including Financials, Sales and CRM, Marketing, Procurement, Inventory Management, Warehousing and Manufacturing.

  • AVT worked with Tip Top to develop a product configuration tool that enabled sales staff to step through a simple to use Features and Options process that ensured that only viable combinations were quoted; that they met the customer’s requirements and were correctly priced. The quote form sales sent to the client was formatted to include any configuration details.
  • AVT worked with the engineering team to build a “Dynamic” Bill of Materials (BOM) configurator that enabled the update of existing  Make to Order configurations on Orders and Quotes in NetSuite without the need of having preconfigured BOMs/SKUs in the system.
  • AVT assisted with the payment/work release process by implementing its Present and Pay solution. This provides a link on the invoice PDF that allows the customer to immediately open up a site and process payment electronically. This enables Finance to quickly see that the payment is processed and, with NetSuite being an integrated system, the approval to start production is issued with minutes. This has had a significant impact on the production process.
  • AVT Netsuite Inventory, Warehousing and Manufacturing modules were able to provide Tip Top Equipment with accurate usage and replenishment of stock and manufactured products to meet demand.
  • Integrated real-time P/L, Job Costing, Dashboards and Business reporting was able to provide Tip Top with accurate metrics and KPIs to drive business performance.
