PRS Enabled -The PRS Enabled logo represents an every growing
community of semiconductor OEMs, distributors, and rep companies
that are joined together via the semiconductor Sales and Information
System (SIMS) developed by Platte River Systems. They are dedicated
to excellence in communication with their partners and customers throughout the
sales process.
PRS Enabled companies,
by using SIMS and thereby implementing the best sales and
forecasting business practices, are able to share important
information in a seamless, easy to manage and time effective way,
that results in more design wins, more sales and happier customers. If you would like

Original Equipment Manufactures
- OEMs, are able to transmit sales leads in real time and are
able to coordinate design activity, quoting and commission tracking all
over the world, no matter which channel the product is purchased
through. SIMS allows each OEM to gather and analyze the data coming
from the field to help it make decisions on its design activity, design
growth, product acceptance, revenue forecasting and other vital
statistics, right from where it all begins; at the customer, by design.
In turn, the OEM can share this data with its channel partners to help
improve customer service, sales channel efficiency and promote further
design activity and growth through proper commissioning of the design-in
location.
Because SIMS is designed as the ultimate
semiconductor sales process front-end to any back-end (ERP or Financial)
system, SIMS has the ability to bring some or all of that data out into
the field and/or to selected customers in a secure, effective and easy to use way. The data is
available 24 hrs a day, seven days a week, in multiple languages and
converted to any currency you require.
All these features make working with or buying
from, an OEM manufacturer who displays the PRS Enabled logo a good
choice.
Representatives, are
far more efficient with SIMS. PRS Enabled representatives are able
to manage most, if not all, their lines on one system freeing their time
for their number one priority, selling. They can manage leads, design activity,
forecasts, quotations and POS information. They can then open that
information up to customers, OEMs and distributors alike, in a secure, need-to-know
manner, which enables all partners in the chain to become more
efficient and effective.
Reps can manage leads sent to their distribution
partners over the web instead of via large cumbersome spreadsheets.
They can keep forecast and design information in exactly the format that
their OEM partners require. They can receive leads directly from
any other PRS Enabled company in real-time, making sure that your leads
are followed up immediately before your competition. The
representative displaying the PRS Enabled logo is dedicated to making
the sales flow and information required to win designs available to its
OEM partners on-line.
By choosing a PRS Enabled representative you are
choosing a company dedicated to making sure you know exactly what is
happening at any given time and being held accountable for their design
win
performance. Exactly what you want in a semiconductor representative
partner.
Distribution, is a
critical part of any high tech sales network. Until now it has
been difficult to know if your distribution channel was creating demand
for your product or simply providing a separate but critical product
fulfillment function. Distributors who display the PRS Enabled
logo are dedicated to providing the critical resource required to be a
true demand creation arm of the sales network. Working
hand-in-hand with their representative partners or working as stocking
representatives themselves PRS Enabled distributors are willing to
provide real-time information to their suppliers about design-in
activity.
By adopting the PRS SIMS program distributors
dramatically enhance their ability to coordinate with suppliers and
representatives alike. The ability to follow up on leads and be
accountable for the results is streamlined, enhancing everyone's
ability to generate revenue. The automatic transmittal of POS data
to the OEM through the SIMS system allows the OEM to run the end of
month numbers on time and keep track of inventory in an easy
on-demand way.
Distributors can track
overall margins much more effectively by managing weighted costs and
resale on a per project basis. Design registrations are tracked for
ease of pricing authorizations by both the OEM and the distributor.
In short, the distributor often finds
themselves in the middle of the OEM sales channel bridging the gap
between demand creation and product fulfillment. A distributor who
displays the PRS enabled logo is dedicated to doing their best at
both and they have the ability to communicate seamlessly with their
partners to prove it. Not much more could be asked from your
distribution
