What your trade expects, and where it lives here
Built to the standard of the best systems in this trade
Order entry & pricing
Quote to order to invoice
Orders are keyed against live stock and carried through delivery note and tax invoice without re-typing.
Sales
Price tiers per customer class
Distributor, wholesale, retail, key-account and van-cash price lists; the customer's list prices the order.
Sales
Customer classes and territories
Every outlet is tagged with its class, route and visit day, so lists and reports cut by them.
CRM
New outlet pipeline
Prospect outlets move from first visit to account opened, with the rep who owns them.
CRM
Van sales
Van load sheet
Write up what goes on each van, then one press moves the stock from the store to the van through the normal transfer, so the count and the ledger stay right.
Van Sales
Loading cannot overdraw the store
A load bigger than what the store holds is refused, naming the product, the quantity on hand and the shortfall.
Van Sales
Route call sheet
Today's customers for a route and visit day, each with phone, balance, credit standing and a one-tap link to invoice them.
Van Sales
Night settlement
Count the van back in and the system works out sold, expected and variance per product against the day's invoices and till sales.
Van Sales
Variance posted, stock returned
Whatever is missing is booked as a stock adjustment on the van and the counted stock is transferred back to the store, both through the existing paths.
Van Sales
Cash count at the desk
Float plus the cash the salesman took is what the cashier should be handed; M-Pesa and cheques are listed separately and the difference stays on the settlement.
Van Sales
Route report
Sold value, returns, strike rate, drop size, stock variance and cash variance per settled load, for any date range or route.
Van Sales
Credit control
Credit hold on orders
Off, warn or block per workspace: an over-limit or overdue customer's sales order is refused with the limit, the exposure and the overdue amount spelled out.
Van Sales
Override on the record
An owner, administrator or manager releases one order with a written reason, which stays on the order and raises an alert.
Van Sales
Credit limits and terms
Each account carries a limit and payment terms, and the customer page shows anyone over their limit.
CRM
Ageing and statements
Debtors bucketed at 30, 60 and 90 days, with a printable statement per customer.
Finance
Overdue chasing
The day an invoice goes late the customer gets a WhatsApp or SMS and the credit controller gets a task.
Automations
Stock & warehouse
Multi-warehouse and van stock
Main store, pick face, returns, damaged and each van are stock locations, each with its own count and value.
Inventory
Batch and expiry
Dated goods carry batch numbers and expiry dates, with an expiring report at 30, 60 and 90 days.
Inventory
Earliest expiry goes first
Invoices, deliveries and the till draw the earliest in-date batch on their own, and refuse a sale that only expired stock could cover.
Inventory
Units with conversion
Buy by the pallet or carton, sell by the carton, outer or piece.
Inventory
Reorder points
A reorder point and quantity per item, and a low-stock report by supplier.
Inventory
Counts and reasoned adjustments
Cycle counts by store; damage, expiry and variance post as adjustments with a reason.
Inventory
Buying & delivery
Requisition, PO, GRN, bill
Purchase requests, approved purchase orders, goods received notes and supplier bills matched in sequence.
Purchases
Delivery notes with signed POD
Part or full deliveries against an order; a delivered note raises the task to file the signed copy and invoice.
Sales
Dispatch board
Orders by route and vehicle for the day, from picking to delivered.
Projects
Margin by customer and SKU
