What was the need that drove you to look beyond what Baan / ERP LN has to offer?
BaanIV is limited in opportunities to email documents to customers. There is the option to store an email address in customer maintenance, but there is no standard Baan solution to use this email address for mailing documents directly out of Baan to, for example, customers.
Did you Check Competitors’ Products?
Yes, we did check Hidox FormDesigner, but creating a report with this application is far more complex than b2Mail-Merge. Moreover, the price of Hidox is higher than b2Mail-Merge.
What drove you to choose NAZDAQ product(s)?
The ease of use (for example, creating a report is simple), the help that was provided when testing the product and the cost of the product. Furthermore, it is easy to use for end users.
Did the product(s) fulfill that need and how?
Yes, it did. With b2Mail-Merge we now send order acknowledgments to our customers. In addition, an order confirmation with the availability date of the products ordered is now sent to the customer directly after entering the order in Baan. Before we used b2Mail-Merge, this information was only available for the customer when receiving his order (on the packing slip)
What were the users’ reactions after installing the product?
At first, there is the fear of the unknown, but once it is set up and users’ see how it works they are very pleased with it
