OMS Laptop Order Entry
Running on the Windows operating system, including Windows 7, as a standard-solution, this module provides real-time sales management information to the sales representative (DSR) when connected to the order entry server via a LAN or the Internet. When disconnected, information from the last connection is retained on the laptop's hard drive. Once reconnected, all orders entered offline are transmitted to the order entry server.
The order entry server is updated in real-time with the ERP system, ensuring a timely and accurate flow of information between the sales person and the ERP system. Customer information, order history & guides, pricing, deals/rebates, cost and inventory are calculated directly on the laptop. Powerful margin analysis capability provides information regarding profitability and commission (if desired) of a particular sale at a particular price level.
