Order Processing
The sales order entry, maintenance, pricing and inquiry/information features are significantly more sophisticated than most systems today. The tools available provide the ability to increase sales through associated selling, additional quantity breaks, and other products purchased last time, “special” lists etcetera.
Order entry clerks using these tools coupled with training and incentives can put telemarketing to work for you and improve sales quotas. These features combined with the order entry and inventory control capabilities provide a truly in-depth solution to improve customer service and improve market share. It is fully integrated with
Accounts Receivable,
Sales Analysis, Inventory
Control, General Ledger and the
Purchase Order
modules.
The Order Entry module is designed for quick and efficient entry and maintenance of sales orders, shipping information and the printing of picking slips, waybills and invoices, as well as a product inquiry and order quoting system and is directed at improving customer service.
