| I
am not sure whether I am getting the best possible
price from my vendors
While negotiating with existing or new vendors
for the best possible price, you can easily
refer to a purchase history of every item you
have bought in the past. Information such as
when you bought the item, from whom, what quantity,
and how much you paid for it is easily accessible
and can be leveraged when placing orders
I have no idea
what I need to purchase based on what I have
promised to deliver and already have in stock
Instead of ordering too much and being stuck
with excess inventory, you can enable real-time
product fulfillment and replenishment. Purchasing
in Everest is not a stand-alone function but
well-integrated with your sales and inventory
processes, ensuring that you always are on top
of your inventory. The system is designed to
analyze a wide-range of inputs to suggest exactly
what items you need to purchase and when, based
on the deliverables you have committed to your
customers.
I can't track
the credits I have available with my vendors
based on merchandise I have returned to them
Track returns to vendors in the same system
you make purchases so you can easily follow
up on credits that you have pending
Sales people are
constantly asking when new merchandise is scheduled
to arrive
Assign delivery dates for when you expect merchandise
you had purchased to arrive, and allow sales
staff to check the status of an order on their
own
My vendors give
me an additional discount if I re-order when
they call, but I never know how much to re-stock
when my supplier calls for my re-order, so I
pretty much guess or order the same amount as
last time
With real-time integration between sales, inventory,
and purchasing, you can make an intelligent,
informed decision every time you re-order. With
up-to-the-minute views of stock on hand, previous
order details, and profitability of certain
items, Everest takes the guesswork out of inventory
acquisition.
The price I pay
for certain items can vary from one order to
the next, but the software I use only records
the average price for all items with the same
SKU
With Everest you can track the precise price
you paid for any particular item, even if the
price varies from one purchased lot to the next
due to market fluctuations, volume discounts,
or varied suppliers
It takes too long
for me to create all the purchase orders for
sales I do every day
Generate purchase orders - in just a few clicks
- to preferred vendors for items that have fallen
below a minimum quantity.
