Background
Organica Vitamins &
Health Foods is a locally
owned and operated natural
products retail store.
Organica uses a MicroBiz®
Point of Sale system
to handle their check
out and inventory tracking.
Their primary distributor
provides about 45% of
stock items, with the
remaining 55% stock
items coming directly
from over 95 direct
manufacturers or wholesalers.
This situation caused
extensive out-of-stocks
and missed sales opportunities
simply because of the
ordering difficulty.
These ordering problems
lead the owner to briefly
try Living Naturallys
ScanGenius ordering
system. The Living Naturally
system was totally ineffective
at solving our problems.
We spent too much time
syncing and re-syncing,
trying to load data
into their scanning
system. reports Ahmad
Khan, the storeowner
and manager.
Solution
Organica implemented
OrderDogs online purchasing
system using a Symbol
SPT1550 Palm® Scanner.
OrderDog allows Organica
to create orders using
either their MicroBiz
software or create orders
using their scanner.
Scanned items are assigned
to purchase orders based
on their purchasing
rules. I could not believe
how easy it was to start
using OrderDog; no data
to load, no complicated
software. It was a breeze!
Organica has now reduced
its out-of-stocks from
11% down to 6%. This
reduction translated
directly into a boost
in overall sales. Since
using OrderDog, our
weekly distributor order
is 4 times what it used
to be.
In addition to reduced
out-of-stocks, Organica
has seen a significant
increase in sales by
utilizing OrderDogs
special order features.
Previously we were unknowingly
losing business because
we didnt have an effective
way to locate new or
unusual products requested
by our customers. With
OrderDog, I now have
a database of 100,000
products I can search
in a matter of seconds.
We are seeing new customers
who have heard of our
ability to find virtually
any product they want.
Organica Vitamins has
benefited greatly from
using OrderDog. Mr.
Khan summarizes with
this thought, While
others promise, OrderDog
delivers everything
they say and more.
Results:
- Reduced ordering
time by 73%
- Out of stocks
down from 11% to
6%
- Increased overall
sales by 15%
- Increased customer
loyalty by better
servicing special
order requests.

OrderDog is more
than just a time saver...
it allows me to be in
direct control of my
inventory. I can order
as frequently as needed,
day or night, and I
can order all my products
at once. I couldn't
be happier!

OrderDog saves me
time, which makes my
job easier. It improves
the accuracy of my orders,
helps control my out-of-stocks,
and gives me more time
to spend with my customers,
which in turn has increased
my sales.

My favorite thing
about OrderDog is that
it is versatile. I can
use my current scanner
or interface OrderDog
with my POS system.
The interface with my
POS system was amazingly
simple. I no longer
have to fax or call
in my orders.

Having NO computer
experience, I was scared
to death to try OrderDog.
But I was amazed at
how simple it was to
use. With OrderDog's
customer service, I
was trained in 30 minutes
to review, make changes,
and place all my orders
online through one source.

Any store that seriously
wants to lower labor
costs, lower cost of
goods, and increase
sales, needs to be on
OrderDog.
