Centralized Inventory Setup and Pricing

Centralized Inventory Setup and Pricing

Imagine a world where each your reporting is not at the mercy of each franchisee putting the correct product and pricing information in their business management system?  If things are not entered the same, it becomes impossible to centrally report on what is selling and what is not.  Imagine being able to:

  • Push out new products instantly 
  • Change prices in the future; 
  • Order processing for multiple buying locations

Here's the best part: all of this information can be automatically distributed overnight, or in real-time, to other locations without disrupting regular business. The system uses various communication formats to send information to all stores while you sleep.

The franchise management software also allows you to quickly access each store operation from any location. Simply dial up any store and perform the system functions you require.

Create a Master Store

Your business might have multiple locations, but it’s best to view your operation as a single enterprise. Our dealer management software helps you achieve this by consolidating all of your data into a single master store. For instance, it’s useful to have a master customer database because you never know when a client will walk into a different branch to shop. By having their account information available to all stores, they’ll receive faster service that’s tailored to their needs.

To manage your company-wide inventory, it helps to maintain a master item record store, as well as warehouse group inventory levels. In doing so, you’ll be better equipped to monitor direct store deliveries and warehouse distribution.

Multi-Store Teamwork

While operating multiple stores has its challenges, there are also benefits that can be realized by using dealer management software. If one store is short on a particular product, you can use either warehouse stock distribution or store transfers to make up the shortfall. Transfers can be performed manually or automatically, and it’s even possible to sell from one store and, with permission, have the item be collected later.

This teamwork approach also applies to your staff members. They can ‘float’ between branches without being lost in the payroll system.

Special Reports and Messages

Sometimes, you might need to share sensitive information with a specific branch or department. You can set permission levels to direct this information only to those who need it. You can also flag specific branches for various purposes, including reporting, collection or system letters.
