Well managed finances are a crucial ingredient to the success of
any business, but handling them can often be difficult and time
consuming. System Five offers a wide variety of solutions for the
business owners to help quickly and painlessly work through your
commerce related needs.
Below are just some of the reasons you might consider using System
Five in your business:
Increase
Sales
- Monitor and control inventory levels to offer a better selection of merchandise and reduce out of stock situations.
- Produce mailing lists based upon customer purchase history
to better target your merchandising efforts.
- Use promotional sales to increase traffic flow and offer
SPIFFs to your employees to eliminate slow moving items.
- Offer Layaways and Special Order and use deposits to ensure
that the customer is committed to the sale.
Improve Customer Service
- Speed throughput and eliminate errors at the checkout counter with UPC bar code scanning and on-line price lookup.
- Avoid a crisis by monitoring promised delivery dates for
Special Order merchandise.
- Use the on-line inquiry to check if an out of stock item
is available at one of your other locations.
- Capture specific customer information such as size and colour, in order to offer a more personalized service
Reduce Costs - Save Time
- Set minimum and maximum stock levels to keep inventory at
optimum levels.
- Balance inventory levels by transferring merchandise from
locations which are overstocked.
- Reduce salesperson training time with an easy to use, yet
highly functional POS cash register software.
- The program's use of tight integration eliminates errors
caused by re-entering information already captured by the POS cash register software.
Integrated
System
An integrated system cuts down your workload by ensuring that you
only have to enter your information once and it is placed everywhere
it needs to be. Staff can create an invoice without knowing anything
about accounting or inventory control, yet the invoice they enter
automatically updates those sections of the entire system.
Profitability Can Be Managed
Real-time accumulation of sales, material, labour and overhead costs. Purchasing
performance can be measured between standard and current costs. Inventory
Control, Purchasing and Accounts Payable Systems will help you become more
profitable by allowing you to "buy smarter, control theft, take advantage
of Vendor payment discounts and lower your overall carrying costs".
Use employee sales information to increase
sales performance by concentrating on areas that need improvement.
