Infographic: Odyssey vs. Manual Data- Entry Websites

Posted by James Lusk on

If you sell goods to the Department of Defense, you know that it can take a lot of time, effort and attention to detail to ensure that your products are compliant with the DoD’s requirements. Whether you are selling aircraft parts, paint, medical devices or clothing, your company must comply, and this isn’t an easy task. Many companies turn to free government websites as a quick, temporary solution when looking to complete DoD commerce tasks. But they eventually discover that these websites don’t save them the time, money or frustration that they expected.

Odyssey’s services take care of all DoD commerce tasks that are necessary to get your goods to the DoD and for you to get paid. We designed these services with the DoD supplier in mind, and we want to help you move toward a streamlined process.

The infographic below breaks down the difference between our software and manual-data entry websites, such as free government websites.

Overview

  • Odyssey provides one integrated location for all DoD commerce tasks, while free government websites require manual data entry across several unrelated sites.
  • Odyssey manages receipt and insertion of all data, providing ongoing customer support, while free websites are managed by different agencies and people who aren’t familiar with your business.
  • Odyssey’s software automatically validates each RFID and UID to ensure its compliancy and prevent errors, but when you use free government websites, the manual and repetitive data entry creates a high probability of data-entry errors.
  • Odyssey’s SaaS platform uptime of 99.9% is efficient and reliable, helping your company meet deadlines, but free websites are inefficient and can be down or even crash in the middle of your order.

The Odyssey cloud platform provides one integrated location for all DoD commerce tasks, to be handled in-house. We can provide the peace-of-mind that you need in the DoD approved-software space. Stop looking for temporary solutions and start thinking about the sustainability and long-term success of your business.  If you want to learn more about our products and services options, you can watch video demos here.
