Inventory Management

You need to provide outstanding customer service while maximizing the return on your inventory investment. Track all receipts, shipments, and adjustments to inventory. Item inquiries provide stock status information with complete drill down to transaction details to help improve customer service. The inventory master file provides detailed product information, pricing, landed cost factors, purchasing formula data, and processing flags for each item. User defined fields can be used to track product specifications and these fields can be used as additional search criteria when searching for an item. Substitute and complementary items can be linked to each item to improve fill rates and promote up-selling of additional products. Multiple units of measure can be established with conversion factors for each item. Separate bar codes for each unit of measure make it easy to track movement of product in the warehouse. Complete serial number and lot control tracking and historical data of items by lot and serial number allow you to trace product by the click of a mouse.

 

Utilizing the latest inventory reordering formulas, the Inventory Management application will calculate reorder points based on historical or forecasted usage, seasonal trends, demand, and vendor lead times. EOQ calculations are also provided to show buyers the best economical buy. Items can be grouped into buy-lines for purchase analysis by product group to take advantage of special pricing and discounts. Global inquiries provide quick views of current availability, dead stock items, inventory value and suggested reorder quantities. Warehouses can be flagged for centralized or decentralized purchasing and replenishment. On-the-water boat tracking and location transfers allow you to track product movement, while physical and cycle count features help ensure inventory counts are accurate.
