The ABECAS™ Insight Enterprise Management Software system is a complete and feature rich solution for Wholesalers, Distributors, Light Manufacturers, Growers, Packers and Shippers. It handles the operational aspects of the business including sales, shipping, deliveries, purchasing, inventory, warehousing, and production. It integrates seamlessly with the Accounting Software System as well as the various other ABECAS™ Insight modules and components. It is a single source solution that allows you to select the modules you need to meet your requirements. It can integrate with other in-house software systems as well as electronically exchange data with your trading partners.

Underlying the Enterprise System is a flexible Inventory that integrates with all aspects of the business. Items may be tracked at the item or lot level, with the lot level providing full traceability from production or receipt to consumption. Serial numbered items can be tracked, if required. Inventory availability is available on a real time basis throughout along with the associated transaction details. Sales orders may be taken on-line, by a Customer Service Representative or as an electronic transfer. Inventory is immediately updated with this demand. Purchase orders may be printed, emailed, faxed or transferred electronically. As items are received, they immediately update inventory availability and cost. Production can be planned based on current or historical sales or prior plans, checked for resource conflicts and released to production. The production process can be managed in detail with inventory being updated along the way. Each module generates the accounting entries required for full accounting management, including Receivables, Payables, General Ledger and Cost Accounting.

The Enterprise Management Software system includes:

Inventory Management—Availability, Location, Pricing, Cost by Item/Lot
Sales Order Processing—Quotes, Orders, Picking, Shipping, Invoicing
Settlements Processing—Salesperson Commissions, Consignment Payables
Delivery Management—Trip Building, Driver/Carrier Assignments, Tracking
Purchase Order Processing—Requisitions, PO’s, Receipts, Putaway
Production Management—If required. Planning, Production, Work Orders

The system is highly configurable. Screens can be customized with user labels, lookup selections, layout and security. The standard ABECAS™ Insight reports, forms and labels are customizable. Ad hoc reports provide access to user specific queries. Most importantly, business rules and default values can be defined to provide consistent and correct data entry and processing. Data can be easily captured at the lowest level through the use of handheld (mobile) computers. Data can be exchanged with trading partners through the EDI (electronic data interchange) option. Various processes can be automated with the Task Agent component supplied as part of the system.  Dashboards can be used to show the operational exceptions in real time as well as highlight key performance indicators at all levels of the business. The goal is to automate IT processes, provide easy access to data and convert data into information that can be used to better and more effectively manage the business. The end result is better business performance with lower IT costs.
