A Distribution or Wholesale operation has unique business processes, and having a solution that can easily and flexibly meet your process automation needs can give you a competitive edge, save you time and money, and drive more revenue. You need to make it easy for your customers to order from you and interact with you. You need a complete back-end system to manage receipts, track inventory, and process orders. You need to properly account for sales and to collect payments. You need to manage suppliers and inventory costs. These are just some of the many challenges you face when running a wholesale operation.

The ideal solution: Hosted Small/Medium Enterprise Suite is the ideal distributor / wholesaler solution. Hosted Small/Medium Enterprise Suite is one integrated and complete system that you can use to run your entire operation. The core Accounting module-which includes general ledger, A/P, A/R, invoices, sales orders, inventory management, sales processing and more-gives you everything you need to run your business: advanced shipping and receiving modules, automatic drop shipment features, specialized roles for warehouse management personnel, and online billing and payment options.

Since it's Web-based, you (and any other employee you grant access) can take a look at your business's balances, cash flow and every other key measure, wherever you are, whenever you need it. So if you have multiple locations, or have both an online and offline presence, or even if you like to work from both home and the office, Hosted Small/Medium Enterprise Suite is the perfect multi-user, multi-location solution.

Building an online distribution model: The Web Store component allows you to build an online store, automatically as you set up your Accounting module. And because Hosted Small/Medium Enterprise Suite is a single, completely integrated application, purchases made through your Web site automatically generate sales orders for approval in Hosted Small Business Suite's accounting system. So you never have to reenter sales again into a separate system. That's the beauty of using one integrated solution vs. multiple incompatible programs. Your customers can order online from you, and pay online as well, either through your online storefront or through a password-protected customer center - and they can monitor key information as well like shipment dates and open payables. With one system, your inventory is always up-to-date and accurate - so you avoid all the hassles of trying to reconcile different systems.

Integrated Sales & Service Management: The sales force automation module gives your sales force the tools to assign leads and prospects to different territories, manage their pipeline and enter sales orders. The customer support management module lets you automate your service department, managing and tracking support cases through to resolution. And since the Suite is built using one central database, your sales and support people always have access to the complete customer history records for more informed customer relationship management.

Integrated Payroll: Seamlessly integrated Payroll for processing your payroll in a snap, Online Bill Pay for effortless payment to suppliers, and Employee Access for submitting time and expense reports round out the package.

Tired of wasting your time using many incompatible programs that give you inefficient access to incomplete data? Select Hosted Small Business Suite, and you'll be able to save time and money by running your retail operation much more efficiently.
