Inventory Control, Inventory Management - Stream V - Integrated Business Software

Inventory control is the cornerstone of any distribution, reseller and retail business and is essential to profitable operations. The ability to analyze data quickly and efficiently is critical to managing inventory levels in order to control your company's budget and resources. The Stream V Inventory/Warehousing module maintains the most accurate, easy to access, real-time inventory available today.

The Stream V Inventory module allows the use of unlimited warehouse locations. Multiple operators can update inventory information in multiple locations simultaneously. Transferring inventory among warehouses takes place on-line to assure immediate availability at the destination warehouse. Companies shipping to remote warehouses can easily implement the Inter-Facility Transfer System to more accurately reflect inventory availability.

The Stream V Inventory Control module is an on-line, real-time, transactional system with activity pertaining to inventory recorded in an inventory transaction file. This provides management with the audit trail necessary to ensure correct product flow. Extensive reports can be produced from the inventory activity file for in-depth management analysis of stocking levels and usage requirements. Tracking of on hand, reserved (orders in house from customers), on order (orders placed with vendors), and work in process(WIP) is a simple and straightforward process. Quantities on order from customers are tracked both as "total reserved" and the quantity reserved for shipment in the current 'scheduling window'.

Vendor Link allows customers with online access to their vendors' order processing systems to check real-time inventory price and availability (P&A) with the vendor(s). The primary purpose of this system is to recoup the significant amount of time spent checking P&A by the sales staff in a brokerage environment. The vendor provided interfaces checked to date also allow purchase order placement automatically. This would allow for an even higher degree of automation with primary vendors and further reduce costs.
