Add Serial Numbers After Product is Picked

With Windward System Five, you can sell an item without the serial number and take a deposit from the customer. When the warehouse ships the appliance to the customer, the serial number that is easiest to retrieve is selected and entered into the computer. Windward has several checks and balances to ensure that you don't forget to enter that information into the system, upon delivery to the customer. This gives you the best of both worlds, allowing you to sell products and take deposits while still allowing for strong appliance inventory control.

Use customer data to automatically create shipping labels

Shipping Labels

Among other things, shipping labels can include the:

Name of the contractor or designer
Owner's name
Job address
Fixture number
Description

These labels can help keep track of the inventory in your appliance warehouse and make it easy to deliver and place in the correct room for the best customer experience.

Organize shipments for on-time deliveries

Special Orders

Special orders, also known as tag orders, can be entered from the work order. If you try to sell an item that is not in stock, our showroom software will prompt you with a pop-up window asking if you need to special order the item. By placing the item in a special order, the system will ensure that you don’t forget to order it. This puts less stress on the business owner and their staff.

Shipping Dates

Windward’s appliance showroom software tracks and reports shipping dates to make it easy for your warehouse people to stage shipments for delivery on time. It's all part of a complete solution for all inventory types. They can optionally use the confirmed field to ensure that the builder or owner has confirmed the shipping dates before loading the truck.

Scrambled Part Numbers

By scrambling the part numbers, you can make it difficult for your customers to shop around and get better pricing. After all, part of your service is your designers deciding what would look nice where. The printed invoice for a fixture could contain the:

Scrambled part number
Description
Quantity
Price
Picture

Even with this extra information, the scrambled part number still makes it hard for them to shop elsewhere. (Note: Our appliance showroom software makes it easy for you to find the item from the scrambled part number, real part number, barcode number, manufacturer's part number, or other numbers that you may have.)
