Automatic Purchase Orders from Customer Sales Orders

As Business Consultants, we talk to hundreds of business owners each year and although it's not commonly requested, we often identify they could save time and reduce errors by automating tedious business processes.

A typical response is: "I didn't know that could be done!".

We put this down to the "not knowing what you don't know" syndrome. Business Managers and Owners often can't see the forest from the trees and just assume the way they are doing things now is OK and there's probably not much they can do about that.

Usually when our Business Consultants do a walk-through of a business they identify a few key improvements that can be implemented simply; with tangible benefits. These include:

• Higher sales,
• Less errors,
• Reduced costs of operating,
• Happier customers, and
• Happier staff.

To help you understand what's possible, let's explore just one area that can be automated with Axsapt's Back to Back add-on that ticks all of the above benefits. The process of delivering Goods to your Customers involves the following:

• Convert the winning sales quote into a sales order/confirmation (with or without a deposit)
• If there is insufficient stock or raw materials on hand raise one or more purchase order to suppliers considering customers' required delivery date, transport times, outsourcing requirements, etc.
• Where further manufacturing is outsourced, raise additional purchase or job orders to those external suppliers with sufficient instructions.
• Receive the product into stock or arrange for it to be dropped shipped to the customer
• Raise a sales invoice to the customer

Even the process of choosing the most cost effective supplier (based on reliability, time to deliver, minimum order quantities and best purchase price, etc) is tedious and it's easy to make the wrong decision which costs your business money.

For a complimentary discussion about what's possible, please contact Axsapt. Our passion is automating tedious processes bogging down businesses. The benefits to your business are increased accuracy, reduction in processing costs and superior customer service. 

And don't forget your staff will love you as they won't have to do "brain-dead" tedious tasks that makes the day drag on and on..
