With a high volume of transactions, the risks of holding too much, or too little stock, can place intense pressure on your cash flow. Our solutions provide you with an easy way to optimise your stock levels, re-order product lines, manage returns and distribute deliveries in the most efficient way possible. From pinpointing stock items to forecasting your future requirements, fulfilling sales/works orders and shifting slow-moving stock, we ensure you can make delivery promises you can keep.

Availability and visibility

See what you've got, where it is, how long it'll last and what it's worth. Physical and free stock quantities are continually updated by supplier and customer orders, bills of materials, deliveries and returns across any number of locations, lots and bins. Flexible sub-analysis facilitates stock grouping to handle sizes, colours and any other product families of your choice, providing an intuitive system for analysis and reporting. More »

Real-time updates

Live updates to your nominal ledger make it easy to maintain an accurate valuation of your stock position and track cost of sales and accruals. Each time an item of stock is bought, sold or moved, full details are transferred in real-time straight from your sales and purchase ledgers and stock modules for visibility and up-to-the-minute information.

Cost and pricing

All your vital pricing information is available at a glance, enabling you to get the true cost of every stock item and make a profit on everything you sell. Landed costs, such as import charges, duties, transport and storage, are easily tracked as are actual, standard and supplier costs, facilitating valuations including FIFO (First in First Out), Weighted Average and Standard Cost. Easy-to-use price matrixes store unique pricing structures for every combination of customer and stock and profitability is tracked for every line item sold. More »

Traceability and stock takes

Transactions both in and out can be stored for the lifetime of your system and allocated flexibly over multiple locations. Serial numbers can be picked or allocated individually or automatically allocated by the system. Everything you buy or sell can be identified with bar codes and is fully traceable. Stock takes can be assisted by handheld devices and special transaction types track damaged and stolen goods. More »

Advanced ordering methods

All ordering methods are designed to optimise your stock and meet customer demand, whether triggered automatically by Just in Time and back-to-back processes, submitted via an online purchase request or received from the forecasting module. Customer quotations can be seamlessly progressed into orders and pro forma or invoices while prompting up-selling and cross-selling opportunities. Fast order entry is facilitated by order templates, which can be duplicated or tailored to fit customer buying trends, and the required items ring-fenced out to ensure your priorities are met.

Stock forecasting

Forecast your physical stock position, week by week for as many months ahead as you wish and run "what if" scenarios for the possible timing of new sales orders, purchase orders and supplier lead times. The system forecast is based on your current stock position plus and minus known sales and purchase orders. As you play out different scenarios, the free stock is instantly re-calculated and displayed graphically, empowering confident forward planning. More »

Returns management

Flexible and easy to use, our returns management functionality builds tight controls into the returns process, enabling all return and credit note requests to be easily tracked. Whether the customer wishes to receive a credit note or replacement items, Dimensions provides the in-built checks to ensure that all returned goods are correctly validated prior to either being returned to stock or written off. A single, easy-to-use screen provides snapshots of all the requests being processed, providing your staff with the critical information they need to provide the best possible service at all times.
