Where it fits

From customer quote to shipped order, for distributors.

  1. One record for customers, ship-tos and carriers

    Customers, their ship-to addresses and carriers are kept on one current record that every order starts from.

  2. Quotes and orders priced from your tables

    Each quote and order is priced from the customer's price level and your price tables, with discounts, fees and freight added on the order.

  3. This step

    Count, adjust and see stock by location

    The warehouse counts stock from selection through reviewed variances to count adjustments.

  4. Orders ship from the right lots and locations

    Lots and warehouse locations are set on each order line, by hand or automatically, so pickers know what to pull.

  5. Run order and stock reports from the browser

    Order and stock reports run with your own filters and come back as a PDF or a spreadsheet.
