Enspire
provides comprehen-sive inventory management designed to optimize your
inventory investment using established and proven methodologies. Detailed
analysis is provided for turns, ROI, seasonality, dead stock, service
levels and more.
The worksheet replenishment system gives buyers the
ability to easily analyze both stock and non-stock buys. Automatically
calculated reorder controls in item records provide the necessary components
such as: order point, line point, and review cycle capabilities. Vendor
specific purchasing targets and lead-times along with replenishment
formulas allow you to tightly manage your inventory investment. And
that's not all, with Enspire's CostulatorTM feature the system will
even recommend the lowest cost vendor after considering order quantities,
landed costs and load factors. Enspire also accommodates seasonal items
and will then apply seasonal trend factors on an item basis for a more
accurate forecasting of the upcoming season.
32 character item numbers provide maximum flexibility
Detailed item information is conveniently organized on tabs for
easy access.
Defining item number prefixes and suffixes, which are used for
lookup keys, can easily accommodate unique lookup requirements.
Standard lookups are also available by item number, PSR or UPC
number. Additionally, item description, keyword, manufacturer
code, item or customer cross reference, and promotional item codes
can be used in combination using Boolean logic to search and find
items.
All assigned warehouses can be viewed for each item, providing
complete warehouse transfer capability, drop ships from alternate
warehouses and replenishment through central or remote branches.
Replenishment logic is stored by item for each warehouse and
is automatically updated for each item based upon each warehouse's
actual usage trend. Enspire's item/warehouse design reduces record
maintenance and assures the integrity of the automated replenishment
system.
Reorder methods can be determined for each item for maximum efficiency
and effectiveness for the automated replenishment process. Choices
include Class, Min/Max, EOQ, Do Not Reorder, Blanket, and Seasonal.
Image libraries may be created for individual items enhancing
your ability to maximize the service you offer to your customers.
Enspire's image capabilities provide all the necessary controls
to manipulate and polish the image creating a professional end
result.
The entry of a "bad check" is simple but far reaching.
Minimal operator input updates the customer master file and then
re-opens and re-ages the invoices accordingly.
Non-stock and special orders committed to sales orders but not
yet assigned to vendors are quickly and easily available for purchasing
review. Once received these items will "AutoFill" the
associated sales orders waiting to be filled. The efficiency of
this process saves time and improves customer service by allowing
the special orders to be filled immediately and automatically.
Stock buy worksheets are created on demand. Buys can be created
for single or multiple warehouses with additional filters for
buyer, vendor, manufacturer and product group allowing the distributor
flexibility with their unique buying process.
Buyers can see all vendors showing the total cost and number
of items to be purchased for each vendor providing an easy to
read summary of the stock buy. Tabs also exist offering a review
of detailed vendor history enhancing the purchasing process.
Vendors supplying the same item can be displayed with the lowest
cost vendor highlighted. A tolerance factor can even be entered
to make sure the savings will be substantial enough to change
from the primary vendor. This process will save thousands of dollars
not to mention the savings of time.
Purchase Order receipt numbers are automatically generated and
multiple receipt numbers can be added during the same posting
process.
Current exchange rates can be entered to calculate the gain/loss
on the exchange rate to help maintain an accurate landed cost.
Other landed cost elements for freight, brokerage, tariff, plus
unique vendor user defined landed cost elements can be expensed
or capitalized to meet distributors unique requirements.
If damaged goods are received, Enspire allows for the automatic
creation of a Vendor Return Authorization. The efficiency of this
process eliminates the need for any additional entries making
the operators job easier and the vendor return process timelier.
Many times distributors need a way to keep quantities and cost
for non stock items, trade-in items and accounting for one time
"good buys" separate from normal inventory. StockAid
does just that!
