Why an Inventory Solution? To Stop Stock Vanishing!

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

The lazier you are with your inventory, the more the stock will mysteriously wander out the back door. The sooner you implement a system that both staff and customers alike know exists and watched, the sooner also that you notice fewer pieces have gone missing.

Many individuals tasked with running the inventory have begun with Excel spreadsheets for keeping tabs on everything in their company only to discover that their Excel setup wasn’t detailed enough or expandable enough to handle future inventory and business concerns. The most common development in these cases is an expansive amount of time spent backtracking and adding more columns and entries until the whole escapade baloons to an almost unmanageable level.

You need an inventory management program that is versatile, full-featured and with an openness to its architecture and design. One that you can customize some day to will handle your specific needs. One with a low learning curve and a high return on investment. And if you’re going to stem that tide of the disappearing inventory items, you need a reliable system and you need it now.

How the Fulfillment Module Can Help Inventory Management

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

SIMMS’ Fulfillment Module is designed to work in conjunction with the Replenishment Module. Once a purchase order has been generated for the stock required to fill sales orders and the purchase order has been approved and received, the sales order is added to the list in the Fulfillment Module waiting for the order to be picked and invoiced. You can process all items on a sales order into an invoice or invoice individual items on a sales order. In addition, you have the option to invoice individual sales orders or automatically invoice all sales orders, using the “Recalculate Fill Quantity” process (the fill quantity is the item’s quantity on a sales order).

Order selection can be filtered by customers, categories or items. Fill quantities can be automatically filled using available stock or reset to zero, and then can be recalculated at any time. You can manually enter only the quantities they need, avoiding investment in overstocking, thus saving you time and money. Once the required amount of stock is known, purchase orders can be created for unavailable stock involved in the fulfillment process, either an item at a time or by the batch of required items. Quantities of items already on purchase orders are displayed, helping you to avoid creating duplicate orders. Invoices that feature all (or some) fulfillment items can be generated, while any items that are already invoiced (or partially invoiced) are displayed. Comprehensive picking lists can be generated once selected quantities have been either manually or automatically updated.

SIMMS’ Fulfillment keeps all details of the stock you have ordered – or need to order – clear and concise so that you are not wasting extra time and money on stock that is not needed.

Contact KCSI today to learn more about how Item Fulfillment can help you master your ordering needs and keep your customers satisfied.

Do You Feel Fulfilled?

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

If you process ten or more sales orders a day you must have the SIMMS Order Fulfillment Module, this feature simplifies the order fulfillment process for mass orders enabling you to spend more time on making sales and less time on the paperwork required to process them. The Order Fulfillment Module was designed to work in conjunction with the Sales Order Manager, un fulfilled sales orders are listed in the Order Fulfillment Module waiting for the order to be picked and invoiced. Here the user can process all items on sales orders into invoices. This process is called “Recalculate Fill Quantity” (fill quantity is the item’s quantity on a sales order). If there are shortages you can generate a purchase order for the shortages from this screen and with the click of a button you have generated one or more purchase orders for the shortages related to numerous orders, can it get any easier? Actually it can, the item fulfillment manager also has the ability to show you alternate locations that may have the items you require and again with a click of a button transfer items from locations that have the items required to fill the orders.

SIMMS’ Visual Import Manager provides a comprehensive solution for importing your important inventory item data, customer/vendor data as well as quotes, all from an easy-to-use program – Visual Import Manager.

“Open architecture” is the catch phrase for business application software and databases these days. Companies that in the past may have put up with discrete applications running stand-alone, and performed software “gymnastics” to obtain integrated reporting from their tools, are now demanding that these products work together. To facilitate this process, an industry standard known as open database connectivity (ODBC) was developed. SIMMS’ Visual Import Manager has been designed to facilitate seamless integration between SIMMS data and Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel, CSV (comma separated value) files and TXT (text) format files.

Wild at Parts

A modern stockroom, no matter the size, can be a fury of chaos during busy hours. A truly intuitive inventory tracking system — like SIMMS — has to be used methodically in order for its benefits to be noticed. Before they grab, they need to tab: first the knowledge that Widget One will be used in the project or in the shipment, then the entry of the use of Widget One into SIMMS, and lastly the physical removal of the item from its storage location. It seems to be a simple philosophy, but in moments of rush and madness entries are forgotten, so they must be done FIRST, not last. Contact KCSI today to learn more ways that SIMMS can benefit your business.

Old Items in New Places

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Often times the storage of older items that have not been redeemed through sales become an impediment if they are kept in storage areas nearest the shipping department. Constantly elbowing things out of the way adds to inefficiency in the overall stock processing system. SIMMS Inventory Management system shows all stock in each location, and Item Sale History Reports indicate the pieces that move—and those that don’t. Do yourself and your staff a favor and move the ’slow’ items into a location furthest from where all the action is. And then seriously consider a special project in which the items is featured; once the special creates a demand for handling the slow items, they can be shunted back to where they are handy. Remember, it’s not the steps you make today that leads to success, but the steps you SAVE. Contact KCSI today to learn more tips on how your inventory management can be streamlined using SIMMS.
