Trading and Distribution Trading and Distribution
Trading and distribution functionalities are the mainstay of many business organizations. This will range from inventory management, sales quotation, order taking, order fulfillment, deliveries, procurement management, goods receipt and sale analysis. If even one portion of this cycle is compromised, it will affect the overall operations drastically.
For example, if the inventory is not properly managed, it might result in late deliveries, inaccurate delivery schedules, which in turn reduce the client’s confidence in the company’s processes or late delivery penalties. A mismanaged inventory will also lead to overstocking and cost overruns.
InfoMaster Trading and Distribution solution is designed to tighten the controls in all aspects of the distribution cycle to create an efficient workflow for the people in your organization and in the process create happy clients.

Centralized Management Inquiry Dashboard
• The centralized Management Inquiry Dashboard (MID) provides the sales management with a snapshot of the business on a single screen. This overall view presents the company performance that can be analyzed and view from various angles. Thus allowing the management to understand the organizations performance in the past, know where they stand at present and forecast future performance. Drill down feature provides insight to the current figures and this contributes to an understanding of the data flow. With the MID, sales managers can be alerted to backlog information, monthly sales figures, low revenue generation, excessive procurement activity, un-invoiced delivery orders and many other alerts.

InfoMaster ERP for distribution is designed so that all common tasks associated with a particular function can be done a single data entry point. This would include transactions such as cash sales, cash purchases, credit notes, goods return, etc. Common tasks are streamlined for quick and efficient data entry, hence reducing redundancy in keystrokes and double entries.
Data Portability

Such information is integrated so that your employees will have access to information right at their finger tips at the right places. When typing a sales quotation, the sales person will be able to view the stock availability, other outstanding orders and the incoming shipments for that particular item. Hence the sales person will be able to provide the customer with an accurate estimate of the delivery of the item. At the same time, the sales person will also be able to view the historical price of that particular item for that customer (and other customers as well). This will allow the sales person to provide a competitive price quotation. Overall this leads to a better customer experience.
