Complimentary 1-hour Support Session Included with Every Free Trial of TFG4000’s Inventory Manufacturing Software

I’ll admit it, with a technical mind, the first thing I love to do when I purchase a new electronic device is sit down and comb through its instruction manual page by page.

With many devices, the directions are translated from a foreign language and I notice they often fudge critical words. If I weren’t technically inclined I might never figure out how some of those things work with the shoddy directions and layers of impenetrable “customer support” some companies offer. Often, I’ll call in with a question and experience crazy wait times, support staff that can’t answer my questions, or the inevitable “disconnect” when they were transferring my call to another department.

It’s those bad experiences that increase my drive to offer our customers outstanding service and support. Our TFG4000 business management system for small to mid-size businesses comes complete with carefully crafted directions and a user-friendly system. We back that with our customer support team and a complimentary 1-hour online training and consultation session.

We are so confident in our product that TFG offers a 45-day money-back guarantee with no sticky terms or shady loopholes. So far what we’re hearing on Day 45 is a lot of “thank you’s” for the user-friendly system and one “You couldn’t pry this software away from me for anything in the world.” We’re flattered, and we think you’ll be impressed.

Three Reasons TFG4000 is a Money-Saver for Businesses in Manufacturing

Are you one of the lucky businesses left standing? Right. Luck has nothing to do with it. If you are still in business after the swing in consumerism these past few years, it has little to do with luck and a lot to do with sheer grit, determination, planning, and business acumen.

Have you discovered the operational secret of many of the most successful manufacturing enterprises? It’s an internal communications system that allows all areas of business to access, record, or share inventory, processes, and production information during the manufacturing process.

It’s TFG4000, and many business owners have already taken advantage of our free trial and are realizing its tremendous value to their companies. We’ve designed the software to be flexible, easy to use, and also respond to changes in a company’s development.

Why have people found TFG4000 to be such a money-saver?

1. It collects and sorts information in a user-friendly format, creating instant organization and saving companies payroll dollars on time employees would otherwise spend on lengthy, time-consuming, and less precise recording and communication methods.
2. It provides accurate, up-to the minute inventory information that is vital for developing material requirements, production plans, P+L statements, and balance sheets.
3. The software provides the sales department with up-to-the-minute information about unallocated and available inventory as well as its exact location. This allows employees to provide customers with accurate information regarding their order and delivery. It also builds goodwill with customers and cuts down on consumer complaints and the manpower it takes to address them.

There are dozens of other ways TFG4000 can positively impact your business practices. Find out more at www.tfg4000.com.

Could you tighten up current operations and realize the savings this year? Try TFG4000 for 30-days with no strings attached. We are confident our software will speak for itself once you try it! We’ll also include a complimentary web or telephone-based training session to get you on your way.

Is your “Free” or “Trial” Offer for Inventory Control Software too Good to be True?

As you probably know by now, I have been active in computer program development since it’s infancy. I’ve seen a lot of interesting developments over these years, and one in particular that does not necessarily serve the Internet community well: gimmicks.

While it is a phenomenal tool for research, delivery systems, and smart work, the Internet can certainly wreak havoc in our lives at times. The Internet is now laden with these little traps that zap our time and money. Unfortunately, it is not a protected playground, and few of us were formally trained on the safety rules of operating this “live” tool, and it can wind up costing the user dearly in the long run.

Now I am not just talking about costing the user money, here. Free or gimmicky software can rob a user of his or her time and data protection. It can compromise a business’ privacy and leave users in a worse position than when they started.

That’s why it’s important for The Fredrick Group to be transparent in our operations. We want our customers to ask questions, challenge our software, and compare it to other systems. We want them to talk to other TFG4000 users. Our free trial does not contain any hidden loopholes. We only offer it because we know that shopping for an inventory management system is a difficult task, and one that requires research and hands-on use before a business can arrive at an educated solution for its software needs.

We’re confident that our product will speak for itself, which is why we offer a free test period. We want you to experience the terrific customer support we provide, and we want to hear about your trial experience so we can continually remain in touch with end users and their needs. It all comes back around to improving both our users’ experience and our standing with you.

I’d invite you to research those “free” programs and then ask yourself what you could be compromising or missing. Remember, “If it’s too good to be true, it probably is.” Call on TFG anytime for a complementary consultation or to assess your current software needs. And please share with us: Have you tried any free inventory management systems? What was your experience?

Two Questions you Should Ask of your Inventory Control System

I started in the computer industry back when computers were gigantic, primitive structures. Over the years computers have certainly decreased in size and cost and increased in their capabilities. One thing we were not worried about when initially inventing computer operating systems were hackers or incompetent employees. Now when we build data systems, we devote ourselves to designing protective units around information to safeguard it from both incompetence and ne’er-do-wells.

When searching out an inventory management system for your manufacturing business, or even a system to track your personal effects, there are two main components I’d ask you to consider to ensure your information is properly safeguarded.

Who has access to this data?
Look for a system that layers passwords at various levels and can handle multiple users while compartmentalizing their access. This will allow you to keep the information you choose private while still allowing selected employees to do their part on the system. For instance, you may give the warehouse supervisor access to check-in, inventory, and stock parts, while your office manager has access to shipping and billing information related to the inventory. Can you isolate information for your eyes only?

Can new or incompetent employees mess up the system?
Are there safeguards in place that will prevent someone who is not computer savvy from inadvertently rearranging your records? Will your system flag an input error if the value seems unlikely? These are all important factors to consider when evaluating an inventory management system.

TFG continually strives to make your systems safer and easier. When you use TFG4000, you receive new releases on software updates at no charge, ensuring you always have the latest and greatest right at your fingertips.

Enjoy a free trial on us at www.tfg4000.com. We’re so confident you’ll love it, we’ll even include a free one-hour training and consultation session. You are the driving force behind TFG, and your needs become our solutions.

Which information safeguards do you currently have in place at your business?

Four Reasons to Use Inventory Control Software at Home

So how are those New Year’s resolutions coming along? In your massive efforts to streamline organization, have you looked at a way to catalog and protect your personal effects?

We at The Fredrick Group are all about organization. When we found out that many of our systems engineers had implemented their own version of our inventory management tools in their personal lives, we thought, “Hey, why shouldn’t we expand our systems into every household?”

We pooled our collective expertise and answered that demand for those who are looking for an ingenious way to manage their personal assets. Now people can catalog everything from jewelry, tools, appliances, and electronics, to artwork, antiques, collections, and heirlooms in our flexible, personal asset management software program, TFG4000 Standard Edition.

We’d like to offer you four reasons why it’s a good idea to implement an organizational system such as this in your home, now more than ever.

1. Organize
Knowing what you have on hand helps you make educated buying and selling decisions and gives you a specific overview of your assets so you can protect your investments. It also keeps everything in one central location. No more digging in old boxes and closets or enlisting your spouse in your quest to hunt down misplaced, aging documents.

2. Manage
Having an itemized inventory of your personal assets allows you to easily retrieve and manipulate data. This enables you to manage your personal assets and access a complete inventory of your belongings in the event of loss, damage, or theft. Our system utilizes easy organizational tools that can safeguard, centralize, and sort pertinent data such as purchase price, model and serial numbers, valuation, age and specs, and physical placement.

3. Insure
No one wants to think of what it can mean to replace an entire house’s contents if there is a fire, or discern exactly what has been stolen during a burglary. Utilizing an in-home software management system allows you to easily transfer your assets list to your insurance company and quickly call up itemized lists by location in your home, value, and category.

4. Security
TFG4000 provides security on every screen and report, allowing only authorized users to access the system’s data. That makes the TFG4000 Standard Edition a perfect place to track your financial records and banking institutions’ data for everyday use. It also keeps your information readily available in the event your checks or credit cards are lost or stolen or you need to quickly access your banking information to counter identity theft.

Where do you store your irreplaceable records? Do you have easy access to them and can you sort and manage them with the stroke of a key? How would a system such as this benefit you?

How Can an Organizational System Save your Business Money?

I was recently cleaning out an old corner of the attic when I came across a box of holiday ornaments and garland in pristine condition. I now remember placing them there in an effort to keep them dry when I thought the basement was going to flood earlier this year. It was a smart move at the time, it saved the decorations from water damage; however, saving them from flood damage was fruitless because I wound up replacing them all anyway. That’s right! The decorations looked a little sparse this year so I went out and purchased more at Hobby Lobby, Target, and Kirkland’s to finish my home’s holiday decor. The following week (of course!) I ran across the ones I had stashed in the attic.

Now, I know I am not the only one who tucks things away for safe keeping and winds up replacing them due to the old “out of sight, out of mind” curse. For me, it was a small headache. For manufacturing businesses, it can mean a substantial loss in revenue.

In what ways can your business lose money by misplacing or burying your parts and products?

• Your items may be out-dated or damaged by the time you find them.
• You lose man-hours seeking out parts you may or may not have.
• You may re-order pieces you already own.
• You’re not utilizing all of your space as “active space.”

We took these factors into consideration when we designed TFG4000, the software that picks up where your memory tapers off. It doesn’t have a bad day or get distracted, it is not a new employee who ever wonders which systems the previous one had in place, and it doesn’t call out sick or have “brain lapses” the way we humans do. It is a super-human cataloging system because it was designed to do what we humans want it to do, but doesn’t suffer from any human condition that could result in error.

The result? Your best “employee.” Take her for a spin at www.tfg4000.com and see for yourself. What is lingering in the corners of your warehouse or stuffed behind infrequently used pieces? Do you know exactly what you have on hand down to its shelf placement and value? Isn’t it time to have those answers at your fingertips with the touch of a button, save your company time and money, and allowing you to move on to managing the other aspects of your business that call for your attention? TFG4000 can make that happen.

Merry Christmas to you. This is one gift you can give your business that we assure you will keep on giving!

DO YOU ONLY GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR IN MANUFACTURING SOFTWARE?

We here at The Fredrick Group are constantly asking ourselves how we can make things better for our customers and how to help more businesses benefit from our software products.

One of the barriers we are up against is casual comparison shoppers. When people compare our products to those of our competition, they discover a substantial price difference. You would think that offering a great price would be to our advantage, but it often invites skepticism. “What will I be compromising in terms of quality or service if I select TFG’s software system?” they wonder. After all, most of us grew up believing the old adage, “You get what you pay for,” and still find it true with many of our regular purchases today.

So how can we at TFG keep our products accessible to small and medium sized businesses and compete with the other entities that offer less but charge more? How do we buck the skepticism that accompanies offering unprecedented value? And do you really only get as much as you pay for?

We at TFG have proven that you can purchase a top of the line software system minus the inflated prices. The best way we know how to demonstrate our value is by offering businesses a free test drive with our TFG4000 software system. Since its pricing is scaled to the number of modules and users you’ll engage in the system, it’s never out of reach for even the smallest of manufacturing businesses, but still offers them the powerhouse of technology the big dogs use.

We understand that your management system is a pivotal purchase that centers on your business’ operation. We figure you wouldn’t buy a car without test-driving it, so why would you take a risk with your business’ operating and inventory systems by buying something you can’t try? We don’t think you should have to.

We hope you have a stellar year in 2010 and would love to help you align your inventory management systems to produce a maximum rate of return for your company. It’s out with the old and in with the new—-won’t you give us a spin and then shop our competition? We know our systems will blow the competition out of the water and you’ll find that our affordable pricing is just icing on the cake!

They devise software applications oftentimes long before businesses express a need for such solutions. In fact, that’s the way a lot of people describe our TFG4000 software.

They may engage The Fredrick Group to solve one problem such as inventory management, but are surprised to find that TFG4000 will also efficiently streamline their other operations.
