Who is Saasu for?

To use Saasu for e-commerce today you need to decide:

• Publishing: how you will promote your goods (publishing web pages with inventory names, prices, photos and details)?
• Cart: what shopping cart you will provide for goods they select?
• Settlement/Payment: what payment methods you will offer (Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Direct Deposit, Internet or Phone based)?
• Integration: What method you will use to get completed sales into your Saasu file for bookkeeping/accounting?

Importance Of Multi Channel Selling & Saasu

There are also a range of fully integrated providers that you may prefer to use. It is important to remember that most integrated providers of e-commerce are NOT multi-channel. i.e. if you have multiple ways of selling your products you need to be aware that it is probably better to chose a multi-user, multi-channel system like Saasu.

Sales Channels Include:

• Physical store fronts in markets, shopping malls/arcades/streets.
• Phone based selling e.g. 1300 or 1800 numbers advertised on a web site.
• Print material or signage or other medium.
• Warehouse sales.
• Web Sites.
• Email Sales from a web site.
• Partners and resellers.

Franchises

Franchising is the business of replication so it needs replication tools. The reality of franchises is that if you can automate and simplify business workflow cheaply and easily then both the franchisee and the franchisor stand to gain immense advantage. We all know there are plenty of historical examples of successful franchises who have proven this.

The online accounting SaaS model for business and franchise accounting has so many natural advantages that it is impossible to ignore. The obvious and most significant advantage is centralised data. There is far more to it than this. Here’s some key advantages for franchises:

1. Centralised data – one set of data creates synchronised accounting, the franchisor’s dream.
2. Centralised access – franchisors can administer access for new staff and franchisees.
3. Live franchisee data collection – you no longer need to collect data thanks to the centralised database.
4. Multi-user synchronising – franchisors can work with accounting data at the same time as the franchisees. There are no lockouts from the data when two people are using the same accounting file at once.
5. Automated install, upgrade and backups – in effect you save the cost of these tasks you would otherwise have to perform if you had deployed a software solution to your franchise network.
6. Benchmarking – custom benchmark reports to suit your specific needs can be built on request.
7. Centralised contacts database – simplified marketing campaign generation and bulk contact management.
8. Simple expansion into new franchise sites and locations. Once the phones and internet are connected your accounting is ready to go. A wireless laptop and a USB scanner can quickly become a remote point-of-sale terminal.
9. Simple training – our training partners are an effective way for you to save time training your staff and franchisees and save the usual mega-dollars that a software company might otherwise charge.
10. Reduced infrastructure spend – when you use a web finance engine instead of accounting software you don’t need server infrastructure. We take care of that at our international grade data centre.

Fitness

In any business there is a lot of paperwork and headaches. However in the fitness industry you have the added burden of getting physically drained. Tightly scheduled appointments and daily physical exertion can lead to a tired and forgetful mental state. It comes with the job and the last thing you want to add on to your burdens is bookkeeping work.

Saasu is powering up your mobile device or web browser with online accounting. Make sure you don’t forget to track time, bill people and capture those claimable expenses even for small amounts by doing it as you go. You can sign-in at any location you work from to track time or create invoices there and then. Your clients will think you really work at that location while in reality your office is anywhere you have an Internet connection.

While on the go you can

• Capture peoples contact details
• Track time spent on training for billable hours
• Create an invoice ready for finalising and emailing. Speed up your billing cycle to get paid faster.
• Enter your expenses as you go so you don’t forget to claim them from your employer or your tax authority.

For Health and Fitness Associations and Franchise Groups
When you use an online accounting engine you can easily access financial updates from your members/franchisees. Quickly add new staff to the system. New location infrastructure and training is up and running as soon as you have the Internet connected and a web browser handy. Dramatically reduce IT infrastructure, upgrade, backup and deployment costs by being online.

If you franchisees are selling health and fitness merchandise you can use the Saasu inventory system to centrally manage stock, improve your buying power, manage your stock on hand better and keep all your outlets in inventory sync. Even with your e-commerce website(s) are fueled from the same inventory database and operate on a straight through processing engine into your financial accounts. Track, manage and bill customers who buy from you online or through point of sale. Bill periodical customers using our automated billing feature.
