Instead of Brandscope

Leave Brandscope. Own your wholesale order book.

Enterprise DNA builds your version around how your brand sells a season and refills stores between them, brings your Brandscope order files across, and runs it for you. The stockist list and the history stay in a database you control.

Brandscope does not publish its prices. Its FAQ describes an upfront fee to connect your ERP, then a flat monthly fee for unlimited users, with payment gateway fees on top, all quoted by its sales team.

Where the fees go

A Brandscope contract pays for a connection, a platform and a wait

The records underneath are simple: stores, the terms each one buys on, orders, credits and who sells to whom. Those belong to the brand. Most of the contract pays for the platform wrapped around them.

hub

A project fee before you sell anything

The first charge is a one-off fee to wire your ERP into Brandscope for orders and stock. Brandscope says most of that work is bespoke, and the fee depends on which ERP you run.

schedule

Eight to twelve weeks to go live

Brandscope's own FAQ puts going live and visible to retailers at 8 to 12 weeks from project start. A season can be half gone by then.

paid

A monthly fee set by your volumes

The flat monthly fee is quoted on your ERP, your brand and how many releases you put out.

credit_card

Transaction fees on refill payments

Card and direct debit payments on refill orders run through the payment gateway, and those fees sit outside the monthly fee.

storefront

A marketplace you may not need

Part of what you pay for is a place where retailers browse brands. If your stockists already know you and buy through your reps, that is a feature you fund and rarely use.

lock

Your stockist history on their system

Order files export as spreadsheet and CSV files. The full picture of who buys what, and how that has changed over five seasons, lives in their platform while you pay.

What you get instead

One wholesale book the brand owns, for reps, agents and the office

Stockists

Every store, its terms and whether it is still buying

Each stockist carries its own price list, its rep, its last order and its last visit. The office and the field read the same record.

  • check Stores that have gone quiet
  • check Which stores stopped carrying a line that similar stores still order
  • check Each store's price list in one place, so a new season's terms are one change
  • check Territories and reps side by side, so moving stores between two reps shows the effect on both first

The field

Reps and agents on a visible call cycle

Every store sits on its own visit cycle. See who is due, who is late and what each late store is worth.

  • check Calls, strike rate and average order per rep, against the month's target
  • check Visit notes and orders recorded against the store, not in a rep's inbox
  • check Promotion checks in store: display up, ticket up, price right
  • check A Monday review of the week written from the records

Orders

Orders at the right terms, handed to the ERP

An order comes out at the price list that store buys on, whoever writes it.

  • check Orders in cases at the store's own price list, with any running promotion on the line
  • check One step writes every submitted order out for your ERP and marks the batch sent
  • check Orders that never went to the ERP stay on the attention list until someone clears them
  • check Credits wait for authorisation, with batch codes kept on tracked lines

Yours

A database you own and can reshape by asking

The stockist list and every season's orders sit in plain records, readable by any tool you choose.

  • check Add a field, a rule or a report by describing it in plain English
  • check Order confirmations and rep weekly reports print with your brand name and logo
  • check Open source under the MIT licence, so there is no vendor to leave
  • check Your Brandscope order files brought across and checked on the way in

Switching

How to switch from Brandscope

Moving off Brandscope means getting your records out in the format your account allows, mapping them into the new database, and running a test before anything is switched off.

  1. 1

    Export your records from Brandscope

    Brandscope's own FAQ says order files export as spreadsheet and CSV files. Before you give notice, export whatever your account allows, usually CSV or Excel, and check with Brandscope if something you need is not covered. Get everything out while you still have access to the account.

  2. 2

    Load the records in a test run

    Brandscope's columns are not the same as the free version's import format, so the records get mapped on the way in. Run a test first. It shows exactly what would be created, your stores, contacts and orders, without writing anything to the database yet. Nothing is final until you look at the results and say so.

  3. 3

    Check what the import flags

    Read through what the test run reports before loading anything for real. It will point out records it cannot match, or history it has to skip. Decide what needs fixing, what to leave out, and what a person should check by hand before you run the real import.

  4. 4

    Run both systems side by side

    Keep Brandscope live for a short period while your reps and agents also work in the new system. Compare orders, credits and outlet records against what Brandscope shows for the same stretch of time. This is where you catch anything the import missed before you rely on the new system on its own.

  5. 5

    Switch off Brandscope

    Once the numbers match and your team is working comfortably without it, cancel Brandscope. Weigh separately whether the marketplace listing brought you real new accounts, since that is the one thing that does not carry across. The stores, orders, terms and credits themselves have already moved with you.

construction

Where the real effort goes

The real work is mapping your own price terms, statuses and fields onto the new database, not the export itself. Brandscope's columns do not match the free version's import format, so someone has to decide how each field lines up and how much order history is worth bringing across. Enterprise DNA does this mapping, and the test run, when you have them install and run it for you.

Questions

Instead of Brandscope, answered

Our stockists place their own orders in Brandscope. What do they use instead? expand_more

The free version has no ordering portal for retailers. Orders come from your reps and agents, the office, and phone and email. If your stores are used to ordering online, Enterprise DNA builds your version a simple ordering page in your brand, reading the same price lists. You can keep a retailer portal for a season and move the reps, the reporting and the credits across first.

We sell by indent. Does this handle prebook? expand_more

A prebook order can be recorded against a store like any other order, at that store's terms. What the free version does not have is a visual assortment board for building a season's buy with the retailer. If your agents build buys that way, that screen is something Enterprise DNA builds into your version.

How do we get our history out of Brandscope? expand_more

Brandscope's FAQ says order files export as spreadsheet and CSV files. Export everything your account allows before you give notice. Their columns are not the free version's import format, so the records are mapped on the way in. Enterprise DNA does that mapping, and a test run shows what would be created before anything is written.

Will we lose retailers who found us on the Brandscope marketplace? expand_more

Stores that already buy from you stay your customers, and their details and order history come with you. What you give up is being listed where Brandscope's retailers browse for new brands. Count how many accounts actually came to you that way last year before deciding.

Brandscope takes card payments on refills. Does this? expand_more

No. The free version does not process payments. Invoices go through your ERP or accounts system and are collected the way you collect them now. If card payment on refill orders matters to your stores, raise it on the call and it is scoped into your version.

Keep your stockist book, not a platform contract

30 minutes with Sam. We go through what your Brandscope contract covers, what your reps, agents and stores actually use, and what your own version would look like. If it is a fit, we build it and run it. If it is not, take the free version and run it yourself.
