The Framers Forum

not a question or a suggestion, but praise!

we've just installed AFD Postcode onto our system, and my how it has saved us time,

no more filling out lengthy address details.

what a great idea to have it integrated in with Estlite.

i can definitely recommend purchasing this additional bit of software.

Thanks for the feedback Grahame, good to see that this feature is working for you.

Edited to add:
The integration with this postcode software, is provided as a service to EstLite customers. We do not act as agents for, nor are we connected in any other way with AFD, and do not benefit monetarily when framers sign up with them.

AFD works for me too. That vital info you get from the customers first visit is in the system in a few keystrokes.

i think in just over 24 hours worth of use it has paid for itself, just through time saving.


it also seems a lot more professional asking people for their postcode and house number, rather than going through the long winded process of typing everything out.

This sounds like a great idea can someone please enlighten me how to do it!
Thanks
Will

First installation is expensive - but annual updates thereafter are around £95. very quick and accurate. you ask your customer their postcode and first line of address - normally only have to finish the address by entering house number. I've used it for several years - wouldn't be without it. One of the interesting spin off's of collecting postcode data is that you can start to see where your customers come from - or more importantly where you are missing customers. This can be very helpful if you advertise locally.

Once the the AFD application has been installed, EstLite will automatically integrate with it.
