With a wide range of products it is essential that both suppliers and customers are clear about what is being ordered. X~Suite can optionally hold digitised pictures of your products and these can be presented in price catalogues with barcodes or as emailed Purchase Orders to suppliers. Sometimes the common reference number, for products, with suppliers and/or customers is the point of sale EAN barcode number – X~Suite allows access to products via this, even if you normally refer to products using your own numbers (in all functions). Whether you sell at exhibitions, in your showroom or via reps on the road our Psales-Rep handheld order taking system will be of interest – users of this report very significant increases in order intake. Also if you barcode identify your products X~Suite helps by producing ID labels for all your new products. If you are an importer you may also be interested in our Import Buyer lap top based system for your buying trips and our facilities for accounting for shipping cost. X~Suite also helps importers by calculation of landed costs and allows ‘what if’ carton size experiments showing gross margin per carton. Efficient order picking starts with sensible goods receipt placement. X~Suite will suggest appropriate locations e.g. fast moving or ‘over sold’ in prime picking locations. Before you pick for orders X~Suite will allow you to carry out ‘what if’ picking experiments showing cubic size of intended picks for despatch transport planning. Cross depot picking is allowed and/or pre-picking, which will arrange for stock to be transferred en-masse to the prime picking location/depot to facilitate actual order picking. Account hold facilities make sure that customers who have reached their credit limit or have overdue accounts cannot receive further deliveries until the situation is rectified or the appropriate manager authorises them. If you want to expand by allowing customers to order over the Internet you will be interested to know that X~Suite has links to various third party web based ordering systems. Keeping stock figures accurate is very difficult in this high volume, fast moving sector. Our Pstock-Checker handheld stock checking system will make your stock auditing much quicker and more accurate. Another means of achieving continuous stock accuracy and cutting down on the costs associated with delivering the wrong products to customers is via the use of handheld or voice operated (hands free) picking - Pstock-Picker is the product for you.
