Inventory Overview

Inventory involves managing your product levels and efficiently getting your stock in and out of the system accurately. Maintaining up to date product data is imperative to the success of the system. When storing inventory, businesses must consider the possibility that inventory may get spoiled or go out of demand if stored for too long. Therefore, businesses must take measures to make sure that the inventory stored in the business is sufficient to meet the current manufacturing or sales needs. Implementing proper inventory control measures ensures the long-term stability of the company, and the production process will run smoothly without interruption due to stock-outs.

Multi-Location

The Multi-Location Accounting feature of Connected Business is a feature that allows companies, who have multiple locations or branches, track the financials per location. Some multi-location companies forgot how important reaching their local customers was. When companies started marketing online, they believed their success would be found through nationalization. So, they built huge websites to compete with the online-only providers. They found some success, but they lost the advantages of targeting local customers. All of this was done to protect the corporate brand and image and save on resources. But then the web became more local. With the advent of the smartphone, more customers started reaching out to local businesses through the web. Suddenly, reaching customers locally became more important than ever.

Order Entry

Order entry is the actions needed to record a customer's order into a company's order handling system. Once this information has been entered, it is typically reclassified internally as a sales order. The information in the sales order is then used to schedule all of the activities needed to fulfill the customer's order, which may include materials procurement, production, warehousing, picking, shipment, and invoicing. The order entry function is usually the responsibility of the sales and marketing function. An order management system is a single unified platform that helps manage inventory, automate the order-to-cash cycle and facilitate better communication between teams. The platform automatically stores orders received, keeps a track of inventory levels and raises the required sales orders and a corresponding invoice of sale.
