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.
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.

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. More

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

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.

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.

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

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.
