Enhanced inventory management

Work with an easy-to-use form to create and modify multi-dimensional matrix items, as well as add or remove dimensions from existing items.

Locate items quickly by searching on the supplier reorder number.

Upload item costs to headquarters when cost information changes at the store level, ensuring accurate, chain-wide item cost reports based on weighted average.

Improved purchasing control

Add items to purchase orders (POs) on-the-fly using a new dialogue window.

Manage specialized purchasing requirements by easily exporting POs to Microsoft Office Word and Microsoft Office Excel for easy customization.

Help ensure accurate ordering that keeps popular items in stock with the ability to view purchase orders in matrix format.

New pricing capabilities

Set percentage or pricing discounts for "Buy X, get Y" and Mix/Match quantity discount scenarios.

Set up and select "by price" or "by percentage" options.

Address Verification Support (AVS)

Help ensure optimal credit card discount rates when cards need to be entered by hand—for example, when a card reader is not working or a cardholder's magnetic stripe cannot be read.

Simplified product activation

Streamline distribution and deployment with Microsoft product activation using product keys, including activation through both the Internet and call centers.
