Multi-Location Networking

Multi-Store System Networking

• Stores can run on central-server or independent computer systems
• Centralized delivery logic
• Inexpensive, efficient options for networking diverse computer systems
• Efficient communication process ensures minimum connectivity costs, ie long distance charges
• No requirement for dedicated phone lines
• Product, pricing, costing, accounts receivable, accounts payable and security profile information can be automatically transferred from the head office to the stores in real-time, nightly or as required
• Each store can access all other stores' inventory levels via the product distribution inquiry
• Easily track and document inventory stock transfers between locations
• Purchase orders, stock replenishment and stock transfers automatically transferred between stores and warehouses for appropriate processing
• Invoices with alternate "ship from" location lines are distributed to the appropriate stores and the "alternate store shipping" system is initiated
• Invoices with transfer request lines automatically initiate the inter-location "tag and hold" system
• Store purchase orders can be generated at the head office and automatically distributed to the stores for receiving processing
• Stock transfers can be generated at the head office and distributed to the stores which automatically initiate the "store to store transfer" system
• Invoice payments made at other stores can be automatically transferred to the originating store for proper allocation
• Batch update sequencer control system automatically updates store transactions at the head office to ensure integrity of data, as an alternative to a central server
• Inventory, sales and accounts receivable transaction information is updated at the store level and can be automatically transferred from the store and updated at the head office, as an auto-polling alternative to central server
