Imagine this scenario: You've finally landed that big order, the one that's really going to give your business a boost, but there's a catch-the timeline for delivery is very tight. You start thinking about all the things that could go wrong and make you miss the deadline. What if someone in the warehouse gets the product codes confused and you end up with the wrong material? What if your order for pressure-sensitive material gets "lost in the system" and the product doesn't arrive at all? Then there’s the nightmare of all the paperwork-some invoices come with the goods, some weekly, some monthly. How do you keep track and make sure they're all present and accounted for?

When you're a customer of Avery Dennison, you can relax! We want to make it as easy as possible for you to deal with us, because we believe that by simplifying the purchasing process and making it more convenient, we reduce your costs and ensure that our product/service package delivers the best value. And you get that urgent job completed in good time!

Through our Fasson Advantage™ program, Avery Dennison offers you a range of optional services to make your ordering process faster and more efficient. That means less stress for you-and you'll save time and money.

If your employees have trouble deciphering supplier codes, it can result in costly mistakes when an incorrect material is used. Linked product codes can overcome this problem easily. When you put your own identifying codes next to, and linked to, Avery Dennison product codes, your codes appear on cheese labels, pallet labels and delivery documentation, which makes accurate identification easy.

Now, you never have to wonder if your order has ever reached the right person. You can elect to receive purchase order acknowledgements delivered right to your desktop. It's a legible and convenient way of assuring you that your order has been received and advising you about when it will be delivered to you.

In addition to this service, we now offer a new electronic alert that is sent via email to your business when your material is being dispatched from Avery Dennison. This helps you to better plan your material handling and, if the job is urgent, you could even get set up and be ready to begin, knowing that your delivery is on its way.

Another thing that can be very frustrating and time-consuming is looking for that misplaced invoice. If you want to receive your invoices the day the stock arrives, but don't want them to go astray in the factory, arrange to receive electronic invoices. They will be securely emailed to you, so you know that you have all the relevant information easily accessible.

We're also flexible about how we send our invoices - we want to do what works best for you! If you prefer to receive only one invoice a day or one a week, then sign up for a consolidated invoice, daily or weekly. Think of all the paperwork that will save!

Finally, when it comes to paying your account with Avery Dennison, it couldn't be easier. You again have choices. We accept electronic payments by credit card (Visa, Mastercard and Amex) and EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer).

Even signing up for Fasson Advantage is simple. You can either ask your local Avery Dennison representative to arrange it for you, or go to the Avery Dennison website www.fasson.com.au (customer tools) and sign up online.

There are just so many good things about choosing Avery Dennison as your industry partner. "Fasson Advantage is just a part of our ongoing commitment to providing our customers with ever better products and services," says Andrew Norman, Services Marketing Manager for Avery Dennison Australia and New Zealand. "I urge all our customers to 'take advantage of Fasson Advantage' and experience the benefits."
