GlassShop Software and the NAGS Rebalance

Due to some acceptance and some delay with implementation of the NAGS rebalance prices for February 28th, Data Tranz has made some very late changes to the software in order to display both the September 6th and the February 28th pricing. These changes are only applicable to version 7.9 of GlassShop.

Multiple NAGS Database Pricing

At the moment, we've decided to display both the Sept. 6th and the February 28th databases on the same window. We've also added a new utility which allows you to designate which clients will receive which database. This makes the process simpler and will eliminate errors when designating which database to use.

NET PRICING

Net prices are list prices published by manufacturers which do not fall under the regular NAGS pricing formula. We made efforts to include these prices in the last year with our system. At the moment, Pilkington and PPG provide Net Pricing information on their websites. We have provided this information in the GlassShop System as these prices become available.

One of the main objectives to the NAGS database rebalance was to eliminate the need for Net Pricing. It appears this objective will be somewhat successful, as it appears that at least one manufacturer will be publishing their own set of list prices. For the long term, Data Tranz is prepared to make the necessary changes to the system in order to accomodate multiple list prices.

Labor Pricing

The GlassShop System version 7.9 can calculate labor 4 ways:

• flat labor per piece and type of glass,
• hourly labor per NAG labor hours,
• flat labor or base plus an hourly rate per NAGS hours, and
• flat labor or base for first hour, then hourly per NAGS.

We've provided a "work" window, where you can test how the two latter methods will apply labor. If you need any help getting these going, just give us a ring, or use the online chat on the main support window.
