Boost Profitability with Efficient Supplier Management

Efficient inventory management can be the difference between thriving and merely surviving. Picture this: a bustling business much like yours, where the demand for various products is high, and the pressure to maintain a seamless supply chain is even higher. Every day, you juggle multiple suppliers, each with their own part numbers, costs, and barcodes. 

Enter Windward Software. Imagine having the ability to seamlessly manage multiple suppliers for a single product, ensuring you always have the best options at your fingertips. With the powerful Alternate Supplier feature, you can transform this complex juggling act into a streamlined, efficient process. This feature is designed to not only simplify your operations but also to boost your bottom line, making your business more resilient and competitive.

What is the Alternate Supplier Feature?

The Alternate Supplier feature in System Five allows you to assign multiple suppliers and barcodes to a single inventory record. This allows you to monitor costs from different suppliers for a single part while also managing their unique barcodes. 

Have a vender that you favor or one that usually gives you a better price? You can also designate a preferred supplier from within the alternate listing, making it easier to manage your primary sources.

Key Benefits:

Windward Software simplifies the complexity of managing multiple suppliers, offering several key benefits that can save you time and boost profitability.

4. Efficient Purchase Orders: When creating a purchase order, System Five uses the correct part number for the chosen supplier, ensuring that the supplier receives the order with their specific part number. This feature speeds up the order fulfillment process and reduces errors.
5. Barcode Management: The feature can also be used to link multiple barcodes to a single inventory record. This is particularly useful for businesses that deal with products that have different barcodes from different suppliers.
6. Preferred Supplier Designation: You can indicate the preferred supplier within the alternate listing, ensuring that your primary source is always highlighted and easily accessible.

The Alternate Supplier feature simplifies the handling of suppliers, ensures accurate and efficient order processing, and provides detailed insights into purchasing options. Ready to enhance your inventory management and streamline operations?
