QAD Enterprise Applications provides tools for every phase of the customer life cycle from quotations and RFQs to order and delivery through after-sale service and support. Customers can choose self-service options, EDI or traditional communication channels, and QAD Enterprise Applications gives the company a complete view of the customer.

Improve response time: Customers want information about order status, including inventory on hand, invoice or shipment information or pricing — and business systems must deliver this information whenever and however customers ask.

Communicate through multiple channels: Whether your customer chooses self-service, phone, fax, EDI or XML, QAD Enterprise Applications handles them all and provides a complete picture of the customer’s interactions with your company.
