Customer Types - Person and Organiation

Hi Everyone,

As you may be aware, when adding new Customers you are currently prompted for a Type of customer to add, Customer Person or Customer organisation.

If it is not being used I was thinking of rationalising this to just the one selection (i.e you wouldn't get prompted for type when you selected New in Customer Browser or Customer Information workspace) and adding a company name field to the current Customer Person type.   Thsi fiedl coudl be blank of course.

I was wondering how many users have already utilised the Customer Organisation selection ?

 

Cheers

Tony

Hi Tony, We haven't used the organisation type although we may well have with companies etc. It may end up being more simple to just have that as an option on the customer type field. it would be interesting to know whether this would contain enough information for clinics who deal with syndicates and companies with multiple locations and contacts.

Hi Tony,

I think this is a great idea which would work well. I think most clinics wouldn't have had this sort of option in their legacy system - so data would have converted as customer person... The remove of the selection dialog and addition of the company name field will be perfect. :)

Morning Tony, :)

For the sites I have been involved in this option has been used minimally. Most small animal clinics already have their Pet Shops / RSPCA's etc in their system and they come across in the conversion as a normal customer file.

I think however that in equine / LA it would have been used to enter stables / farms / agistment etc for link to location. It is hard to guesstimate the frequency of use in these scenarios.

I think however that the proposed change would be fantastic. :)

Cheers
