Workflow - Best Practices for Connexion

Anytime you can standardize or systematize any process or any micro-procs as a part of your day to day tasks, you're better for it. Your business benefits, you benefit and your bottom line benefits. So because of the importance of todays' Cafe', we want ensure those who couldn't attend receive the same easy-to-follow, easy "flow" information as those who did. Here's how our review of CONNEXIONs design & fabrication project work flow can work for you: There are so many more features and business tools found in CONNEXION that we could not cover today. But we felt it was so important to give you a top-level overview of how to process your design and fabrication projects. It's the very important first step to understanding just how much CONNEXION can do for you each and every day. We save you hours of management and data entry time, we organize your business and your custom design projects automatically, we take care of all the communication that takes place, we help you look professional and feel good about all you can accomplish ... We're CONNEXION and we mean business . . . your business!

What is CONNEXION? CONNEXION is a collaboration software that will allow designers, installers, fabricators and clients to communicate by logging into one central location. What's Studio Online? You will be able to access Studio anywhere, anytime, any computer. Studio Online will be available as a monthly subscription. For those of you that already own Studio you will be able to subscribe at a discount. You have to see it to believe it!

You can enter/upload image files, documents, renderings or any file that pertains to a client job right to CONNEXION. Your sub-contractors can login and enter prices and notes on services they are providing. You have total access control for all sub-contractors. Since you're entering information into ONE database you'll have the peace of mind of knowing that you are viewing the most up-to-date information in regards your client's job.

You will be able to use Studio on an iPad or any platform for that matter. Look how great a rendering looks on an iPad! I'm so excited, I just ordered my iPad. I can't wait to be able to take it on client appointments. It's powerful, small and lightweight; the only other thing we need is CONNEXION.

Enter measurements right on the iPad and those measurements will populate the client file in CONNEXION. Are you visualizing a work order filled with actual measurements? Wow, I think I am in love. Looks like Minutes Matter Measuring Forms will be moving to the clouds.

I have lightly touched on a couple of the features available in CONNEXION. Want to see it for yourself? Join us in High Point, you'll be glad you did. Email your RSVP to party@minutesmatter.com
