Is It Shipping Today?
Posted Friday, January 20, 2012 by Peter Kelly
One of the common requests that we get from our distribution clients sounds something like, “We need to create a report that runs every night so when the owner arrives in the morning he or she can see what is
scheduled to ship that day.” In the distribution industry, what’s shipping each day is the single most critical piece of information that allows that owner to know where the business stands. Multiple warehouses, direct ships and disparate systems can make that seemingly simple request very complicated.
Microsoft Dynamics GP provides a powerful, adaptable solution for distributors to manage every aspect of their business, from order entry and procurement to sophisticated inventory and shipment management. The fully integrated solution can be deployed quickly and inexpensively to provide insight across multiple facilities, geographies and vendors. The owner of the business with get the information he or she needs – including the daily shipping report – with flexible reporting and Business Intelligence tools that will deliver information when and how you need it.
