When transitioning from SignVox to CoreBridge, it's useful to understand the differences in terminology and other concepts between the two systems. This side by side is intended to cover the most commonly asked about areas.
SignVOX | CoreBridge |
---|---|
Substrates, vinyl, real estate frames, RTA vinyl, etc. |
Parts - base component of building a product and usually are the primary driver of price |
Accessories and Enhancements found under the setup tab |
Modifiers - act to modify a part and have their own pricing options |
Template Pricing - involves understanding burden rate, costs of ink, vinyl, substrates, labor rates, etc. and then adding a markup | Cost Based Pricing - similar, but instead of markup, it uses margin, and the margins are optionally reduced for quantity breaks |
Product Pricing - simplified pricing that assumes standard costs and a rate based on market conditions | Market Based Pricing - price is set based on market conditions and optionally discounted for quantity breaks |
Template Pricing and Product Pricing are separate pricing models |
Pricing is determined by Parts and Modifiers that make up a Product (or Line Item). Quick Products are saved products that can easily be reused during order entry and are similar to Template Pricing in SignVOX |
Sales Lead | Lead - normally accessed from the CRM area, but can also be found under the Customer area |
Outsourced | Is Vended - can be set at the product level on an as needed basis, pricing templates (used to calculate prices for parts) can also be configured to expose vended fields |
Estimates that aren't converted are "LOST" | Estimates that aren't converted are "CANCELLED" |
