| As more more and more software moves online, Sarphi has made web-based applications its specialty. Using a proprietary library of development tools, Sarphi has designed and built a proprietary development library based on the Microsoft .NET platform. Below are just some of the benefits of migrating applications to a web-based model: |
| |
| Web-based software has a shorter time-to-market than desktop applications and can save a company thousands of dollars in development costs. By utilizing our proprietary development library—our developers can quickly build and integrate data-driven applications saving your company time and money. |
| |
Application maintenance and support are often overlooked when companies consider the cost of software development. Web-based applications provide a lower total cost of ownership because updates are made only at the server level, regardless of the number of users. For the same reasons, troubleshooting web-based systems is also significantly faster, easier, and more affordable than traditional desktop applications.
In addition, web-based systems avoid the time consuming task of redistributing and reinstalling software updates to the user community. Gone are the days of periodically sending thousands of CD-ROMs to the user community every time a software upgrade is implemented. With web-based systems, upgrades happen quickly with little impact to the budget or the user community. |
| |
As telecommuting and the virtual office become more common, ensuring employees have access to mission-critical data can be cumbersome and costly when dealing with desktop applications. In fact, many companies with desktop applications invest in an online version of their software while keeping their desktop version. Such a decision can be costly when modifications must be made since there are now two applications that require development and support.
What if any member of your staff or a customer who needs access to information offsite could simply open an internet connection and access all information and processes over the web from anywhere in the world?

Ajax Boiler, Inc. designs and manufactures a comprehensive line of boiler and commercial water heating products. With over eight decades of experience, the company offers high quality, heavy duty products with a reputation for reliability, serviceability, and cost effective operation.
Product lines are distributed by more than 70 sales representatives located throughout the United States and Canada. Representatives use the S.T.A.R. (Sales Transaction and Reporting) System to create quotations, size and price complex systems, generate submittal packages, and more.
|
The results have been impressive. The S.T.A.R. System assumed burden of sizing and pricing as Ajax was able to manage the same number of transactions with 50% fewers Sales Engineers. Representatives embraced the new system for its ease, speed, and accuracy. Quotation volume increased. Customer satisfaction improved.

|
Replacing an inefficient system that required several hours for each quotation, the new Ajax Boiler S.T.A.R. System puts power in the hands of its customers. In less than two minutes, Ajax customers configure and complete their own quotations using an online system that is fast, simple, and easy to use.
By using a series of highly intuitive selection boxes and data grids, customers quickly select and configure a boiler from Ajax's complete line of commercial boiler products. The online system configures:
• Four types of commercial boilers
• Thirty different sizes
• Five types of burners
• Four types of fuel
• Eleven types of control systems
• Hundreds of accessories and options.
|
The online S.T.A.R. System allows Ajax Boiler managers to adjust prices on all boiler products with just a few clicks. Gone is the need for printed price books . Mailing out new price sheets and CD-ROMs is a thing of the past.
The online system updates prices instantly throughout the user community. From the moment a price adjustment is implemented, all quotations are updated and all manufacturer representatives are automatically notified.
|
By creating a dynamic, online system, Ajax representatives can generate complete quotation and submittal packages in just minutes. Quotations are automatically placed in a library of past quotations that can be referenced or revised with just a few clicks.
The library is viewable based on access level. Sales staff see only their own quotations. Sales Managers can view both their own quotations and those of their staff. |
 |
|
|
Boiler and water heating systems can be very complex. Part of the bidding process requires that representatives create complete submittal packages that include lists of specifications, dimensional drawings, and diagrams for wiring and piping. What used to be a time consuming process that took several days, is now available in just seconds. Upon completion, each quotation automatically compiles all of the required submittal documents into a single PDF file.
|
At its core, the Ajax S.T.A.R. System is a powerful engine that integrates more than eight decades of proprietary engineering experience in heat transfer and thermal dynamics. On the front end is an online interface that effortlessly allows customers to accurately size coils based on the heat transfer properties of water and steam through various materials. It also factors for rate of flow, gas pressure, temperature requirements, fouling, and more. With the development of the S.T.A.R. System, calculations take just seconds, accuracy is guaranteed, and valuable time is saved throughout the Ajax Boiler enineering department.

|
Ajax offers tens of thousands of variations of hundreds of different products. Each variation can require a new set of drawings. Thanks to the S.T.A.R. System, the process of sorting through the vast library of diagrams is completely automated.
|
No cutting edge online sizing a pricing system is complete without a comprehensive website makeover. The new website vastly improves communication, automates many sales and marketing functions, and reinforces product branding. The number of visitors to the site has steadily increased as it has become an information portal for many in the industry.
|
|
 |
|
While the user community focuses on the features and functionality of the front end, managers focus on the administrative functionality of the back end. Via the online administrative interface, managers can quickly implement price adjustments, product upgrades, and create user accounts. Reporting functionality also allows managers to track product selections and monitor system usage by the representative user community.
