Pricelists in the wire frame model, click
here
Purpose
To compile price lists from the services and products listed in
the system
Notes
Price lists are not shown to clients or anonymous visitors but
can be printed or e-mailed by the labmanager
Since prices are kept separately for corporate and non-corporate
clients, two separate price lists for these two groups can be created.
This is not indicated on the eventual price list
Items to be put on a pricelist and grouped as such, can be selected
from:
o Chemical analytical services
o Micro-Biological analytical services
o Culture reports
o Antibiograms
o Survey and Inspection costs
o Products (non-analytical – ie distilled
water or consultation hours)
For pseudo-quoting and promotions etc, it is possible to apply
a discount percentage on all of the price list or any sub-section
of it
Prices of Surveys and Visual inspections are made up of
o a basic survey fee
o Travel cost depending on the distance to
the Survey site and the price per km charged
o a sampling fee per sampling/inspection ‘point’
o the standard analysis fee per analysis requested
Since analyses ‘allowed’ to be included on surveys
are tagged as such in the system set-up, it is possible to differentiate
prices for the same analysis between MARs and Surveys. If required
