Know available inventory and easily manage back orders. Order entry personnel can see available inventory balances and quickly investigate existing demand and anticipated shipments. Items can be flagged as back-ordered at point-of-sale or via the pick process. Receipt of back-ordered goods will auto-generated the necessary outgoing shipments.
Pick, Pack, and Ship. aACE features robust processes for managing the pick, pack, and ship process. Our Shipping Log module supports incoming shipments (receiving), outgoing shipments, and both incoming and outgoing returns.
Auto-generate purchase orders for drop-shipped items. The process sends a notification to the procurement group with a link back to the newly created purchase orders. Order entry personnel can also manage the procurement process directly from the sales order if applicable.
Products and Pricing
Create robust pricing and commission models. aACE supports fixed prices, mark-up and margin percentages, specific client discounts, group discounts, and volume pricing. Commissions can be fixed amounts, a percentage of the price, a percentage of the margin, and can change depending on the volume of units sold.
Automatically update product costs and cost-based prices. Managers can configure aACE to automatically update the estimated cost for an item based on purchasing activity within a selected number of days. This process automatically updates margin and mark-up based prices and eliminates the need to manage estimated costs.
Establish margin controls and notifications. Managers can configure aACE to automatically send a notification if an item is sold with a margin less than a selected percentage. Know if your margin is being squeezed by increasing vendor prices or overly aggressive sales personnel.
Inventory and Procurement
Reorder management made easy. aACE auto-generates purchase orders when an item’s balance falls below the reorder threshold. The process chooses the preferred vendor, sets a quantity that will restore the item’s balance to its target balance, and sends a notification to the procurement group with a link back to the newly created purchase orders.
Ensure goods are properly delivered. Procurement managers can set the tracking status of the purchase order, record conversations, and scheduled follow ups in order to ensure that the product is properly delivered.
Know your vendors. aACE automatically creates vendor/product associations based on purchasing activity. Product managers can enter the product code, procurement lead time, and MSRP for each vendor.
Mobile Inventory Counting. Count inventory with an iPad and a laser barcode scanner.
