AB INITIO LAUNCHES NEW WEB
BASED VERSION OF ADMINBASE
Installers benefit from remote access to UK’s most
comprehensive business management system
AdminBase Apps brought the system to the front line
AdminBase, the leading
sales and management
system for window and door
installers, is now available as
a web-based version, allowing
users convenient and secure
remote access to their company’s
data, at any time.
The new web based version,
launched in June 2020,
includes the AdminBase data
export service and a new and
improved dashboard feature
that allows installers to create
and manage contract ’to do’
lists at a company level.
The new web service also
integrates sales leads from
an installer customer’s own
website, directly into the AdminBase
system, and includes
a copy of the Canvassers
app, which gives canvassers
or showroom staff the ability
to submit leads remotely, via
tablet or smartphone.
With much of the UK’s
office-based workforce still
working from home in the
wake of the Covid-19 lockdown,
this latest development
from Ab Initio has already
proven to be hugely popular
with both new and existing
customers, with all the key
features and functions of
the system now available via
laptop, tablet or home computer.
“Many people still prefer
desktop applications, and
while we still offer this service,
the popularity of web-based
services is increasing – and
for good reason,” commented
Ab Initio managing director,
Rhonda Ridge. “A significant
percentage of the UK workforce
operated remotely, from
home, during lockdown. Many
will, understandably, not want
to return to the office for
some time – some businesses,
in fact, may struggle to safely
accommodate staff – while
others have found they are
actually more productive, and
prefer the flexibility of home
working.
“In any case, our new webbased
system allows our continually
expanding customer
base a much easier, more
user-friendly way to remotely
access all the benefits of the
AdminBase system, which has
been providing state of the
art business management for
installers for around 20 years
now.”
The new web-based version
of AdminBase is being offered
as a free of charge upgrade
to existing installer customers
using the previous cloudbased
service.
This latest evolution to
AdminBase’s service offering
follows the introduction of its
mobile apps earlier this year,
which have since helped to
revolutionise working practices
for installers by offering
a fully integrated, paperless
overhaul of sales, surveying,
installation and remedial
services.
