eCommerce

Taking orders through your website and then manually updating your inventory quantities is enough to make anyone go crazy. Wouldn't it be great if the information you received from your website was automatically read by your inventory system and created into corresponding sales orders? If you're like most eCommerce companies, you don't house your inventory, but prefer to drop-ship directly to customers. To run such processes, someone in the data entry department must manually transcribe all the orders. Why not automate the process to increase speed as well as eliminate man hours and human errors?

Manufacturing

Do you need to track your Bills of Materials and their associated costs? Do you assemble items by consuming component parts? Most manufacturers need Bill of Materials software that can handle multiple levels of assembly (sub-assemblies). How nice would it be if your inventory were immediately allocated as soon as it is required to complete an assembly?

Retail

Wouldn't it be nice if you knew exactly when and how much of your stock to reorder? Applying discounts, taxes, etc. to customer transactions, then applying the results to your database can be quite a pain if your system can't handle it well. Double data entry wastes several hours every day for companies that don't have an automated system. Another waste of time comes from waiting for needed items to complete a sale. What if you don't have a needed product in stock, but another branch does?

Wholesale and Distribution

Do you want to stay with QuickBooks, but need multiple locations? QuickBooks can't do it—at least not by itself. Do you see yourself buying a $100k wholesale and distribution software package to handle this? You don't need to.
