Key RouteMagic Wholesale Distribution Management Software Features

Sales Order Management

Creating new sales orders by simply searching and selecting already added customers from the database. Once orders are approved, they can be picked with just a click of a button. You can pick items individually, or in bulk. The system enforces reasons for any pick mismatches and automatically reduces the inventory from the warehouse, once an order is picked. Creating load orders once the orders are packed can be done with a click of a button. The load orders will then show up at an appropriate date for the appropriate driver on his mobile app. The process of transporting orders to their final destination by van driver. Orders can either be shipped directly to the customer, or they might first be consolidated with other orders going to nearby locations to cut costs.

Product Management

The ability to specify for multi-uom products that they can only be loaded in ‘Cases’, while sold in ‘Individually’. UOM is the alternative unit of measure of the product means it can be counted/measured in 2 different ways. While delivering, the driver also has an option to pick up the goods classified as ‘good’ or ‘damaged’ stock, and appropriate return reasons can be added. Credit notes can be created for the exact product price. With our ‘Catch Weight Product’ functionality, you can charge as per the weight of the product at the time of picking. Defining the products in groups and classes enables the driver to find the product swiftly. Product classes show products in sequence and the sequence number reflects against a specific class name and this is reflected on the driver’s hand held device. You can ‘blacklist’ or ‘whitelist’ specific products which you want to sell to some specific customers along with their images with a similar product code.

Inventory Management

Get the inventory status of any warehouse or van on your screen. RouteMagic treats 'Good' and 'Damaged' inventory separately in both warehouses and vans. Only the 'good' inventory can be sold to the customers. In the ERP, you can also create bin locations for warehouses, and associate products to bins so it becomes easier for the picker to pick products. You can define the restock level of any product. Once in inventory, this product will reach to restock level and the system will notify the user to reorder this product. Users can also mention the supplier of this product. You will get lead time for the supplier to deliver the product and in the meantime, you can satisfy orders with stock in hand. Purchase orders help to ensure that the right quantity of goods or services are delivered in a specified time frame. A new purchase order can be created by selecting the supplier and scheduling the data and time. The system will take the request that goes to the pending state automatically. Once approved by the system and the inventory has been received, the selected purchase order will move to the delivered state. The ‘Received Inventory’ option helps the business to keep adding new inventory and adjusting exciting inventory to your vans and warehouses, seamlessly. Then with ‘Inventory Ledger’, you can track all the inventory transactions listed in this ledger and should match the total for the corresponding account in the general ledger.

Based on the values provided, the system decides whether the vehicle inspection is passed, passed with warnings, or failed.

Similarly, automatic emails and notifications of the vehicle inspection results can be sent to the fleet manager.
