Issue 01 · Spring 2026A field report from a sales rep who runs e‑automate all day.

A Monday
on Boon360.

Boon360 is a web app for sales reps and managers at dealers running e‑automate. The page below is a single rep's day — the same eight hours your team has tomorrow — told in scenes. Every screen is from the real product. e‑automate stays the system of record. Boon360 is what the rep holds in their hand.

The industry standard · ECI e‑automate

The dealers already run e‑automate.
We give them the front door the community’s been asking for.

For two decades e‑automate has been the default ERP of the US imaging channel — billing, service dispatch, meter reads, contracts. It is the community standard, and dealers are not leaving it. Boon360 doesn’t try to. We plug directly into e‑automate and give reps and managers the modern sales surface that’s been missing on top of it.

The atlas · twelve surfaces the rep actually touches

Everything in one app. Nothing the admin has to unlearn.

Boon360 is a CRM. It has the parts a CRM has — accounts, opportunities, quotes, tasks, dashboards — plus the parts a copier dealer specifically needs: equipment, meters, contracts. Every tile below reads from e‑automate, writes back where it makes sense, and stays out of the way otherwise.

01Boon360

Phone accounts

Reps tap an account, place a call, and log the outcome in two taps. Route for the day pre‑loaded.

02e-automate

Equipment detail

Serial, model, accessories, install date, tech history. Serial search works from anywhere in the app.

03e-automate

Contract status

Base rate, overage rates, start/end dates, monthly volume. Renewal flags highlight accounts needing attention.

04e-automate

Meter reads

Black & white, color, scan counts. Shows last 12 months trend and whether reads are automated or manual.

05e-automate

Service calls

Open tickets, tech assigned, response time, problem codes. Reps see what service is doing before walking in.

06Boon360

Opportunities

Pipeline with stages, close dates, weighted value. Board view, list view, kanban by rep.

07Boon360

Quotes

Line items from e‑automate's product master. Bundles for install, service, supplies. Approval routing built in.

08both

Sales orders

Approved quote becomes an SO. Boon360 writes it to e‑automate and gets the real SO number back within seconds.

09Boon360

Tasks · kanban

Calls, follow‑ups, meeting prep. Drag across columns. Auto‑reminders. Linked to accounts and opportunities.

10Boon360

Activity feed

Every call, email, note, visit — timestamped, attributed. A comment per activity flows back to e‑automate.

11both

Dashboards

Pipeline, closed‑won, quota attainment, renewals at risk. Pulls live from e‑automate + Boon360 together.

12both

Commissions

Per‑rep payout, monthly. Numbers match what Finance sees because the data is one source — not two spreadsheets.

06:52

Four stops, planned before breakfast.

Daniel opens his phone on the train. Boon360 already has his route for the day that pulled from open contracts and renewals in e‑automate overnight. The first dot is live on the card because the contract's been touched this morning.

No RDP. No VPN. No export to Excel and hope it's current.

The customer asks about the C5560i.
He taps the machine.

Every MFP they've placed with this customer is on the account page, mapped to its contract and the service calls that came before. Meter reads are live — pulled from e‑automate's tables, not keyed in by the tech on a clipboard.

Daniel shows the customer the last three service jobs on the machine, with the tech's own notes. The conversation gets five minutes shorter.

"We'd refresh the floor. Say, twelve?"

Daniel starts a quote on the phone, then switches to his laptop to finish. Line items come from e‑automate's catalog — same SKUs, same prices the admin team maintains. Gold service bundled by default because that's the customer's current plan.

Total lands in seconds. He sends it to the sales director for approval.

Approved. Six seconds later it's in e‑automate.

The director approves from her phone. The sync engine queues the order, writes it to e‑automate, and the SO number comes back — SO‑48219 — linked to the Boon360 order.

No one re‑keyed. No one copy‑pasted. The ops team doesn't get a "can you add this?" message on Telegram.

Every minute of the day is already logged.

Calls, meets, quotes, orders — all stamped, all on the right account. When the commission spreadsheet runs at the end of the month, the numbers already match. When a deal needs a handover, the next rep sees the whole story.

And that's the pitch. Not a feature grid — a day that fits.

The footnote that matters

How Boon360 and e‑automate stay in step.

Boon360 sits above e‑automate, not inside it. We read customers, equipment, contracts, meters and service calls every few minutes. We write opportunities, quotes, orders, contacts and activity back. Nothing in e‑automate changes. Admins keep their workflows.

Architecture · where the data lives

Two systems. One story.

e‑automate stays authoritative for anything Finance or Service touches — customers, equipment, contracts, meters, invoicing. Boon360 owns the sales motion around it — opportunities, quotes, tasks, activity. The sync engine is a small, boring thing: a scheduled reader, a queued writer, and a retry log you can read.

The system of record

Untouched by Boon360. Your admin team keeps the same screens, the same permissions, the same nightly jobs.

Zero schema changes

We never add, rename, or drop a column in e‑automate. Your upgrade path stays intact.

Read‑first posture

If a row exists in e‑automate, we read it. We never cache a stale version as the truth.

Idempotent writes

Every write is keyed. Replays don't double‑post. The audit log shows every attempt.

Self‑hosted option

On‑prem next to your e‑automate SQL Server. One service, one port, one config file.

In the interest of honesty

Things Boon360 will not try to be.

Your GL.

e‑automate handles A/R, A/P, GL, and meter billing. We do not. We show balances, not post journal entries.

Your dispatch board.

Service dispatch lives in e‑automate. Reps see open calls; techs still live in the system they already know.

Your IT department.

We're a product. For help‑desk, you already have one (or we'll help you pick one — not us).

A platform.

No "build your own apps." No marketplace. No low‑code. The field is a small team; we build for them, not for integrators.

A note

Hi —

We built Boon360 because a dealer we worked with had great hardware, strong service, and software their reps hated. e‑automate wasn't the problem; the front door for the field was.

So we built that door. It pulls from e‑automate, writes back to e‑automate, and nothing about how the back office runs has to change. Your reps get a phone app they'll open on a Saturday without being asked. Your managers get numbers that already reconcile.

If that sounds like your dealership, open the demo above. If anything on this page is hand‑wave, write to us and we'll show you the code — or the Postgres dump — that backs it up.

— the Boon360 team
