SALES STOCK CONTROL
hiredesk records and reports on recommended stocking levels and last movement for each item. Again, the system allows for grouping the sales items into "families". Items can be additionally split into discount groups that are used in conjunction with the customer file to provide customer dependant discounts for each item.
Historical information covering previous sales can be provided either on a contract by contract basis or viewed graphically.
A default plus two alternative suppliers can be defined for sales stock.
Quantity breaks can be applied by item or customer, and to both of the standard prices.
Flexible pricing including net prices, discounts and cost +.
Multi-level discounting / surcharging: This module provides the capability to devise matrices of 3 levels of percentage discount (or surcharge) for 10 quantity breaks for families of sales items.
Sales stock items can be automatically transferred to the hire fleet.
SERIAL NUMBER TRACKING
This adds a further level of security to stock management for high value items. Stock items tagged as having tracking enabled require a serial number to be provided when booked in to stock and quoted when sold. The facility to deal with consecutive sequences automatically is provided. A 'life history' report is available either individually or for all items giving purchase date / price, current location and, if appropriate, account number and date of sale.
MANUFACTURING
This optional module allows the integration of manufacturing into hiredesk. Stock items can be tagged as raw material, component or finished item. Components can be combined in different builds to construct differing finished items. Consumables from stock associated with each build are logged and costed as are labour charges and any other costs. Stock requirements for builds can be checked. Instructions for each build can be entered as free form text and reviewed as required.
DATABANK
Many manufacturers supply price lists on disk. These can be incorporated into hiredesk so they are available for inclusion into contracts with out any re-typing. Multiple supplier provided price lists can be accommodated within the system.
