The first advantage of web based software is the cost savings on distribution.

Customers of major software companies would wait for their software to arrive, install it on their computers (which they hoped would keep up with the technological requirements of the software) and go out and buy patches and upgrades when ever the software had a bug or new release.

The second advantage of web based software is you do not install it. The servers that record all the data aren’t the responsibility of the person using the software. No more waiting for the software or updates and no need to spend resources on your own IT services and hardware.

Software producers would receive information from their customers over months/years, collect the data and rewrite the software to fix all or most of the issues. After the new release was finished they would distribute it and within a couple of months the customer receives they’re new almost fully functional software that they already bought a year ago, at least, until the next series of problems.

The third advantage of web based software is if there is a problem with the software it can be changed immediately pending the ability of the programmers. More importantly, the problems that one person incurs with their software is not a repeated mistake. Once the software has been amended, the next user experiences the updated version NOT the same version they were issued at the start of their subscription AND for no additional fees.

Software, due to the distribution and lengthy repeated development has an inflated price.

Web based software has a lower subscription fee instead of requiring huge amounts of capital for the software and the hardware to support it.

Dental labs every where seem to be complaisant going along, putting in the same amount of hours every day, producing the same products everyday. I remember reading a blog about a dentist that had invested in a machine to make molds and the return on investment he received after 2 years as an answer to the financial turmoil of last year. It was a popular blog, he was very proud of  his ingenuity and entrepreneurship.

I didn’t read the blog the same way. And i’m sure a lot of dental labs didn’t read it the same way either. What does it say to a dental lab? That the future brings less customers? That orders will decrease over time? It creates questions of uncertainty.

I read the blog as an indicator to all dental labs. That the time of innovation is closer than we all assumed it was. While dental labs are putting in the same effort day after day and receiving the same results day after day, the world is changing. There are many moments through a business life when opportunities arise and the need for professional good quality work cannot be replaced by another option.

I’m talking about specialization. What is it that your dental lab provides that makes it worth the money you receive from your customers? It’s your exceptional attention to detail and quality work. By far this is your greatest advantage over dentists programming machines to try and match the work. Your core business attribute is quality work. You can add things like timely delivery and ease of outsourcing work, but at the end of the day if the tooth doesn’t fit your dead in the water.

So in 2010 the Excelsior team thought that we’d look out for our customers and let them know that we see the exceptional quality in their work and to keep it up! You are irreplaceable as long as you provide that exceptional quality of work. Excelsior has the same core values as your business; customer satisfaction full stop. If your wanting to know more check out our web site at www.excelsiorlabs.com. We don’t want your dental lab to run – we want it to succeed.

Plenty of more posts to follow and we appreciate your feedback so if you’d like to add something or disagree on something, we’d love to hear it because it’s in this space we learn even more about pleasing our most important asset – your business.

So how can you use this information?

Picture this scenario. You’re a mid sized dental lab in the US or Canada, 8 to 40 employees and your day is full of ‘technical difficulties’ at the end of the month when you do all your invoicing the system that you are using decides to test your patience one more time. You call for support and the tech on the other  end of the phone can’t help you (if they pick it up at all).  There are no options available and you can see that you’re going to be working through the weekend to get everything manually completed and what extra costs will incur. That’s when you remember Excelsior! Our last challenge from a lab in need of help was a 4 day turnaround to a complete new system with full support during the transition. Step by step assistance from the same person. Having a Mom and Pap business model that focuses on support with new age software that focuses on providing the best dental lab management systems is WIN WIN!

Picture this scenario: Your a small dental lab with 2 to 10 employees finding that the dental lab is chocked by all the time spent on managing, audit trail and delegating jobs. You just can’t seem to get ahead and your not quite sure what to do. Excelsior is the perfect tool for YOU! With the ability of automating all invoicing, scheduling, accounts receivable, inventory, document management, audit trails and many more Excelsior will turn your modest dental lab into an efficient, organised and coordinated work environment to make everything easier.

Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, we’re all in the same industry and experiencing the same challenges AND opportunities!

Happy holidays to all, we look forward to seeing you in the new year.

“We’ve had some Labs in really difficult situations. Thankfully, we had Excelsior to help them out. Another advantage we had was the fact it was web based so we could assist them anywhere we went which was a great advantage.”

“We would like to build a Dental community thats able to help everyone from the small, medium to large Dental Lab. We don’t want to leave anybody behind with all of the advantages that this software provides.”

The Excelsior team would like to welcome GEM Dental Labs as our newest customer. Thanks for all the valuable feedback on the sign up process and for the fantastic review. We liked the simple and effective review so much, we decided to integrate it into our website.

For everyone else, the website and all of the final contact details will be posted soon. For those who can’t wait for the advantages Excelsior can provide, you can reach Pat, Jane and the Excelsior team on admin@excelsior.com and we’ll get all the information you require ASAP!

We’re all looking forward to a great 2010 to get a fire lit under these labs, give the employees a better structure for tasks and owners more control and more importantly – more time to do what they want to do!
