Integrate With Your Website’s
RFQ Contact Form

If you receive RFQs that are sent from a website contact form, VistaSuite can manage those RFQ emails and process them just like standard RFQs.

This eliminates the need to handle your website RFQs differently, which keeps your workflow clean and efficient.

Read More

RFQ Batch Processing
(Quote & No-Quote)

Rather than sending one quote for every one RFQ, save time by selecting multiple RFQs from the same customer, and combine them into one quote.

You can also no-quote several RFQs at once, which means you will retain those valuable insights, but without wasting time on manual data entry.

Both automatic and manual export compliance screening is available through Descartes VisualCompliance, the leader in global trade compliance.

Automated Inventory Updates to
Listing Services, Available*

No longer will you have to spend hours every week exporting and uploading inventory data manually, because we can totally automate that manual process for you.

As an additional service, we can automatically upload your inventory to the marketplaces you use. Check with the marketplaces you use to ensure they accept either FTP or email submissions, and whether they require a separate fee for the capability.

Read More

Inventory
Management

The ability to find records from the inventory view puts the parts in front of you immediately. Also, inventory is instantly visible within every part record so that you do not have to explore parts and inventory separately.

VistaSuite’s inventory management is intuitively designed with logical groupings of key information and input fields. Pending-inbound inventory is also available from within an inventory view.

Managing inventory in VistaSuite is a refreshing experience with unlimited user-defined fields, unlimited doc/image file storage, pools, consignments, charges, alternates, and so much more. You also can apply a banner image to every inventory and part record as a helpful visual aid.

Read More

Receiving
Inventory

Vista Suite allows you to match an existing inventory item to a credit memo, which means you don’t have to create duplicate entries for credited inventory that was received ahead of time, or outside of your normal processes.

Receive warranty, RMA, or unexpected items for evaluation without having to generate a credit memo on the transaction, allowing you to preserve the sale.

Launch receiving events from quotes, work orders, purchase orders, repair orders, sales orders, and invoices.

Read More

Inventory
Photos

Old systems require a ridiculously manual process for attaching photos to inventory items, and sharing photos is impossible. VistaSuite is different because you can use a mobile device to scan the QR code of a record, transaction, or job and then select photos from the device’s camera roll for upload to the targeted destination.

If you need to share a document, image, or other file with someone outside your company, VistaSuite’s file library extends an encrypted URL to every file. Simply copy the file’s URL and share for the third-party to view it, just like cloud storage.

Read More

Exchange
Management

Specify multiple part numbers, on a single transaction, that are eligible for satisfying your exchange. Set up an exchange sale with a quantity greater than one on a single line item, allowing you to simplify the larger transactions.

Also, you can override the system-generated returning core cost at the time of sale so you can manage those higher cost repairs, or occasional cost anomalies. When factoring return core costs, VistaSuite calculates your figures for a fast and accurate result.

Read More

Quality Control
Checklists

VistaSuite’s quality control checklists are a first-of-its-kind modernization to match the real-world needs of these business processes.

For work orders and inventory receiving, you can create quality control checklists and save them as templates for future use. This is especially beneficial for PMA, quality inspection of inbound goods, or for test and evaluation checks on work orders.

Read More

Work Order
Capabilities

A work order can be saved as a template for use again in the future. Work order quoting and billing integrates seamlessly with your existing quote and sales processes so that you can maintain complete process continuity.

Assign tasks to workers using a simple drag and drop layout. Record labor, charges, bill of materials, and equipment toward a whole work order or a task.

Manage component and aircraft end-item light maintenance, light manufacturing, and kitting. Include photos on work order documents to accompany the written details. Android and iOS mobile apps available managing labor recording, work orders, photo capture and more.

Read More

Work Order
Interface

VistaSuite incorporates visual indicators throughout the work order process, showing key details at-a-glance, without needing to search through navigation menus. You can also apply a banner image to the work order header such as a company logo or other helpful visual aid.

Access transaction history, technical manuals, notes, tasks, labor recording and more from within a work order’s intuitive layout. When a technical manual is expired, a visual indicator will alert you to the expiration status so that you can take immediate action.

Tasks each have their own handling of file attachments, default pricing, mechanic notes, non-routines (squawks), internal notes with category “pins”, labor and equipment requirements, mechanic and inspector signatures, job progress status, and more.

Read More

Email
Messaging

Your VistaSuite email setting has an email signature builder and is configured to use your official work email address as the sender so that your contacts know exactly to whom they are communicating.

When emailing a customer from VistaSuite there exists the option for attaching files from your computer. Prior to sending your quote email, add a message to your email as a way to build upon your customer relationship.

Read More

Calculator

Read More

RFQ/RFP
Management

Once inside VistaSuite, the RFQ is sent through predetermined automation processes like export compliance screening*, then the RFQ information is cross referenced and linked with your own system data - giving you easy access to relevant information alongside every RFQ.

Read More

Labor
Recording

VistaSuite’s stand-alone labor recording capability allows you to track labor independently, which means you do not need to create a work order just to record labor.

Track time on a work order, sales order, stock line, inventory pool or general task - with the option to mark time as billable or non-billable. Admins can easily manage time entries and create dashboard widgets for at-a-glance labor tracking. Labor can be recorded using the mobile app or web browser.

Read More

Credit
Memos

Vista Suite allows you to match an existing inventory item to a credit memo, which means you don’t have to create duplicate entries for credited inventory that was received ahead of time, or outside of your normal processes.

This also means that receiving warranty or RMA items for evaluation, does not require the creation of a credit memo, which preserves your sale.

VistaSuite also includes advanced crediting functions for exchanges with cores that have been received, the flexibility for you to include items from linked orders, and the ability to credit partial quantities and amounts.

Read More

Returned Inventory
Management

When you change a purchase order to facilitate a return, a logistics order can also be created from the same view. RMA and warranty are handled independently from credit memos so you can preserve the sale during the evaluation process.

Read More

Management

Indicators

Charges Applied to
Transactions and Items
