FollowPay attention to your processes and the you'll find your operations start to take care of themselves.

-
Reorder stock and create assemblies from min and max stock alerts: Minimize the impact Supplier lead times can have on replenishing your stock by providing min and max stock alerts for your products. Use the min and max stock alerts to establish buffers and boundaries, per product per warehouse, to help you identify when you need to place purchase orders or create assemblies to facilitate your upcoming usage and to what volumes.
- Get visibility over your stock allocations: Monitoring and managing where and when your stock is allocated can help you to prioritise processing transactions effectively and streamline your fulfillment processes. Use Unleashed's Auto Allocation setting, designed to automatically allocate stock to new Sales Orders as they're made, and immediately determine whether you have enough stock available to fulfill them or if you need to consider replenishing. You can also deallocate Sales Orders with extensive lead times to better manage current stock availability. Re-allocate the order closer to it's required date to ensure it's fulfilment is prioritized in line with its due date but using the stock that's then available. This is especially useful if the ordered stock is known to have a high turnover and the order's fulfillment isn't a priority for your current on hand quantities. Reallocating orders means you're reducing the risk of overstocking, how long stock's waiting in your warehouse to be shipped and therefore streamlining your cashflow.
-
Manage and get visibility of shipments: By proactively managing outgoing transactions in Unleashed, as and when they're shipped, you're able to maintain and accurate view of your stock availability as well as ensure your deliveries are being processed on schedule. Use Unleashed's "Ship From Multiple Warehouses" feature to manage bulk orders from various locations, utilizing all the stock you have available. Then use the Backorder Enquiry or View Shipments pages to process those shipments in line with their required delivery dates, allowing your teams to effectively manage their pick, pack and dispatch processes.
- Manage and get visibility of outstanding and completed invoices: Secure your business's cashflow by keeping track of your sales invoices. Unleashed provides you with the flexibility to manage invoices independently to the sales shipments you're invoicing for; and as such this allows you to implement adaptable processes that align with your service agreements. Invoices can be created, sent and completed prior to the stock being delivered, in parts to account for deposit payments or after the stock's been delivered. Use functions such as Partial Invoicing, bulk actions and Create Invoices from a Shipment to generate any required invoices individually or in bulk and further use the Invoice Enquiry to review them.
