Help drive down costs for distributing manufactured goods by integrating business and financial systems.
New distribution channels continue to grow, while existing channels are expanding with new approaches such as global sourcing, cross-sell capabilities, third-party logistics, and radio frequency identification (RFID). Distributors are faced with greater competition and higher customer service expectations. Distribution companies have to implement more advanced management solutions to cope with these changes.
For over twenty years InterDyn Artis has helped distribution companies improve their bottom line by providing them with the capability to sell more products faster. InterDyn Artis provides Microsoft Dynamic GP and SalesPad solutions that give distributors the tools they need to manage their business, from order entry and procurement to inventory and shipment management. These integrated solutions can be deployed quickly and inexpensively, without customization or drawn-out implementation projects.
Benefits of SalesPad developed for Microsoft Dynamics GP
- Ease of Use - ERP solutions today provide terribly cumbersome order entry processes. Users are required to access multiple screens and the process is slow. SalesPad provides the quickest order entry screen available. It is also equally efficient for customer service.
- Integrated with Manufacturing Catalogs - This can be a cumbersome process. SalesPad allows you to view manufacturer catalogs through the order entry setting up true inventory items in the back office accounting system only when goods are ordered. The allows you to offer many more products for sale.
- Item Sales Options - By model, year, category, etc., allowing quick inventory lookup of a vast amount of items; traditional systems have more cumbersome lookup methods, such as by part numbers. You can define custom item attributes to even further enhance the power of this ability.
- Customer and Inventory Profiles - Data can be segregated based on the owner of the data, such as by location or division.
- Cost Effective Data Collection - Core functions such as receiving, picking, packing and shipping can be accessed from mobile devices at the point of the transaction, reducing data entry lag reducing, if not eliminating, the paperwork from the warehouse to the accounting office.
- Counter Sales - Streamlined order entry for walk in customer complete with cash tendering, no need for a separate POS system, saving money and integration costs.
