Industrial Supply Companies cater to a wide range of customers that need your higher value goods, with their variety of options. You need to know that you have the right materials to service each client at all times while maintaining your efficiency and position within the marketplace. Not only are you supplying products for use by your customers, but you often have to service those capital goods you supplied; whether they are a forklift, snowmobile, conveyor or any other industrial product. Servicing may be carried out at your service bay or by your remote service trucks. This varied business can become complicated without solid control over each aspect of your operations.

Tracking abilities are of the utmost importance, whether it is of your inventory, sales or customers. You need to have tight control on all these aspects in order to maintain the efficiency of your wholesales distribution business and ensure your success in the challenging business to business market. Even your "on-the-road" sales reps can have immediate access when making remote sales!

Your customers are important to you. Categorize your customers by business typs (i.e. wholesalers, contractors, government), allowing you to control their discounts, price breaks and target promotions and campaigns towards a specific group. Generate orders based on the customer's unique sales history, thereby reducing the chance of human error and speeding up your processing time. Track customer balances, control credit limits and "hold" orders for customers with overdue balances.

With Oneir Solutions, you will have a handle on what stock is not moving and what items need to be in your warehouse at all times to keep your customers happy! Track items purchased by each customer and the specifications of these items, such as size, type, etc.

Job Shop Manager from Oneir Solutions monitors all critical elements needed to effectively manage jobs, whether the job is a simple repair or the assembly of one of your high value industrial products. From initial estimate to ensuring that the job is delivered on time, Oneir Solutions monitors each aspect of the job. Each stage of production is estimated, costs accumulated and reported to provide a basis for assessing management's performance.

Estimates can be preapared showing components for labor hours and rates, materials, indirect overheads, purchased services and other miscellaneous costs. Reports identify reasons for not achieving targets so that corrective action can be taken. A quotation file can be maintained and then converted to jobs or removed. Interaction between the Work Order Entry and Invoicing, Purchase Ordering, Inventory Management and Payroll Preparation ensures that all work is fully integrated and that reporting is comprehensive, consistent and accurate. This is especially true when goods and servies are received. Goods and services are directly charged to the job, without the requirement of waiting for invoices which may follow weeks after the job is complete; when it is too late to take corrective action.

To provide accurate costing, Oneir Solutions provides the facility to distribute overheads and accumulate profit margins based on labor hours worked, labor hours paid, percentage of the cost, the fixed amount for the transaction or the fixed dollar amount. You select the method.

Oneir Solutions invoicing allows you to invoice the complete job, or simply the work completed to date. Adjustments can be made to the invoice prior to final processing. In addition, you have the opportunity to select a variety of invoice formats for different customer requirements.

Job shop managers have typically known if they were making money or not at the end of each month. However, in today's competitive environment, that is not enough. With Oneir Solutions they have a basis from which to estimate costs more accurately and monitor the actual costs against the estimate so that corrective action can be taken before it is too late.

Then integrate these selling solutions with Inventory Control, Customer Relationship Planning, and Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and General Ledger for Financial Control and your business safeguards. Combine the benefits of the Purchase Ordering option for Materials Requirements Planning, Bank (Debit and Credit) Card Authorization and Payroll, and you have one powerful fully integrated software solution...and there is much more.
