Argos for Distributors
Quotes, orders, prices, lots and locations share one record in the browser, so each order is priced from your price tables and filled from named lots and locations, and short lines can be reviewed before the order moves on.
The problemWhen order entry, pricing and stock records live in different places, order takers quote without seeing what is on the shelf, and pickers learn about shortages at the rack.
Where distributors lose time today, and what changes.
Today
When order entry, pricing and stock sit in different places, order takers quote without seeing what is on the shelf and pickers learn about shortages at the rack.
Quotes and orders move from quote to shipped on one record, priced from your price tables and filled from the lots and locations set on each line.
Today
When stock records lag behind the floor, staff walk the racks to find a lot, put inbound loads wherever there seems to be room, and count by hand without a clear record of the variances.
Look up stock by item, lot, sublot or location and the free space in every location, so lots are found, held, moved and counted against one record.
Today
When every report has to be requested from someone else, managers wait for the numbers they need, and the same questions get asked again every week.
Standard warehouse and order reports run from the browser with your own filters, and dashboards your team builds put the daily numbers on one screen.
From any order line, order takers open the customer's past purchases and substitute items with their available stock, and the warehouse counts and looks up that same stock by item, lot and location.
Order Lots and Locations
Set lots and warehouse locations on the order, by hand or automatically where the order profile allows it, so pickers know exactly what to pull.
Batch Order Processing
Move a filtered group of orders to a new stage, reprice them, copy them or commit them in one run, with a count of what changed and a list of what failed.
Physical Inventory Counts
Pick the inventory to count, preview it, and generate count records, optionally as tasks assigned to a worker.
Inventory Transactions
Stock movements that are not customer orders, such as internal usage, returns, adjustments and damaged goods, are entered in the browser with the exact location, ready to commit to inventory.
Item Management View
Buyers and inventory staff look up an item or lot and see its stock by location, open requisitions and purchase orders, receipts, order activity and transaction history from one screen.
Sales Order Entry
Enter quotes and orders in the browser and move each one from quote to shipped, with stock untouched until the order needs it.
Order Pricing and Charges
Price every order from the customer's price level and your price tables, and reprice it when the tables change.
Customers, Ship-Tos and Carriers
Your team maintains customers, their ship-to addresses, carriers, warehouses and sales tax codes from the browser, so every order and shipment starts from the same, current record.
