PROCUREMENT
Once the sale is won, the order seamlessly transitions across to the order fulfilment system where it is ordered, tracked, and prepared for sale. Integrated Pre-Delivery Work Orders allow for the linking of locally ordered attachments and accessories for the forklift to be linked to the PD for better tracking. All of this linked in real-time through the finance system and back to the sales department via the original quote. Complete business transparency.
INVOICING AND DELIVERY
Baseplan removes all operational delays due to manual invoice generation. Once the forklift is ready to be delivered, a Tax Invoice can be automatically produced with all of the specifications and details displayed. The forklift is also then updated in the Equipment Register for tracking of after-sales services and warranty management. An integrated Transport system also manages the planning, allocation, and delivery of the forklift to the customer. You can even create “Pre-Delivery Invoices” in advance for financing options. All completely out of the box.
SERVICE MANAGEMENT
Service Management is a complex business area and Baseplan has been built from the ground up to handle all of the processes of a Service department.

TRANSPORT MANAGEMENT
Whether you need to move forklifts for sales, hire, or service, Baseplan’s completely integrated Transport Management system provides a consistent, transparent way to plan, schedule, allocate, and track all of your transport movements. Transport dockets can also be added for any other requirement, such as a customer requested move between locations. Dockets can be allocated internally to available drivers, or externally to transport providers with progress tracked along the way. All fully integrated to operational and financial modules. The complete business management system.
MOBILITY
Increasing transparency and productivity, Baspelan’s Service Mobility and Transport Mobility apps keep drivers and mechanics connected at all times. The applications seamlessly communicate between mechanics and drivers in the field and allocators back in the office. Not only does this provide real-time, accurate communication around repair and transport details, it also provides up-to-date feedback on progress. At the completion of a service or transport job, parts are scanned on to the job, labour details are entered, and the customer reviews the completed work order and signs directly on to the tablet. All of those details (including any photos taken) are automatically sent back directly in to the service system for immediate review and billing. The mobility apps eliminate complex manual and paper-oriented procedures, allowing staff to engage more productively with customers. Complete, real-time, seamless communication with mechanics and drivers increases efficiency, reduces paperwork, eliminates errors, and improves cash flow.
