Sales Order Processing

Implementing an ERP system will take pressure off your sales desk. Orders will be automatically confirmed to customers, stock will be reserved and if required a matching purchase order can be raised at your supplier. All with a couple of mouse clicks. If stock on items drops below minimum trigger levels, replenishment advice will be sent to your purchasing department.

Order picking 

It can get quite chaotic in the warehouse during busy periods. The wrong goods get picked and shipped resulting in seriously unhappy customers. And returns, and credit notes and repacking and reshipping and reinvoicing …. And your margins get hammered. A good ERP system will streamline your order picking process.  

Shipments

Not delivering the right goods on time to the right customer can be kill your business. Getting your ERP up and going will iron out the kinks in your supply chain. SalesManager Online can handle shipments from multiple warehouses or warehouse locations. 

 

Track and Trace with nShift

Picking the right delivery company is always a challenge. Once you have made a choice it is difficult to ignore a special offer from another shipper you are not contracted to. We have solved this problem by interfacing with nShift which offers integration of shipment data with over 1.000 forwarding companies in Europe.

Sales Invoicing

Cash is king! Send out the invoice the minute the goods are shipped. Yet, often this is delayed to the detriment of your cash flow. A good ERP system will suggest at any given moment what needs to be invoiced. Get paid faster. Invoicing can be done on an ad-hoc basis or in batches. And digitally via PDF and UBL.

Hard and Soft stock reservations

An order is an order. Done deal. Or is it? Your best sales guy will tell you the fat lady has sung and he wants to reserve that precious piece of stock to fulfil his order and keep his customer happy. But the order does not go through. Using hard and soft stock reservations ensures that your inventory does not get tied up and improves your cash flow.

 

Reordering

Replenishment is a science in itself. When we should we reorder goods. ERP systems work with min/max levels and in combination with actual stock, in transit goods, the sales pipeline are well setup to ensure that you have just enough ( and not too much) stock to fulfil your order.

Purchase Orders

When do we buy? What do we buy and at what price. These are the daily challenges confronting procurement professionals. An ERP’s replenishment system will suggest what you should buy. It should also suggest what price you should be buying at based on the volumes in mind.

Incoming goods

Forwarders always seem to pitch up at the same time. Nobody in the warehouse has been told  what was coming in and when. A good ERP system will inform the warehouse on time what shipments they can expect per day per bay. Using Barcodes and intuitive ERP software will ensure speedy booking of incoming goods.

Basecone

Invoice Scan and Recognition Software

Have you received the purchase invoice? SalesManager Online retrieves real-time the already scanned invoice form Basecone and matches this with your purchase order and the incoming goods. The invoice is than booked seamlessly through to your Twinfield bookkeeping.

Purchase Invoices

So you don’t use Basecone’s Invoice Scan and Recognition integration. SalesManager Online will suggest, based on the incoming goods booked, what the Purchase Invoice should look like. We know what we got in and the price ordered at, so this should match up. If you are authorised, then one click should ensure that the invoice in booked and posted in Twinfield.

Stock Control

The bane of every trading company. How much can I still sell? What can I promise my customers? A good inventory management component of your ERP system will keep this in line. A dream is to have a warehouse that is so well-organized, anyone can show up and know what goes where and why. This starts with labelling every storage space and inventory item. At first, you will run into no end of problems to solve. But soon you will discover all sorts of opportunities. Your top-selling item can be kept right next to the loading dock to cut down on warehouse traffic. You can store twice as much of X if you put in smaller shelves. The sooner you do it, the better.

 

ASN

An advance ship notice or advance shipping notice (ASN) is a notification of pending deliveries, similar to a packing list. The ASN can be used to list the contents of a shipment of goods as well as additional information relating to the shipment, such as order information, product description, physical characteristics, type of packaging, markings, carrier information, and configuration of goods within the transportation equipment. The ASN enables the sender to describe the contents and configuration of a shipment in various levels of detail and provides an ordered flexibility to convey information. By sending ASN’s to your customers, you can help them plan in their own goods processing operation more efficiently. Another happy customer!
