From unit items, timber lengths, tonnes of aggregates, every item you trade can be held to its own stock method.
That means more accurate stockholding, less wastage, and more profit, plus happier customers and smoother administration.
Ultimate flexibility for tailored pricing, including customer, quantity, delivery method, aggregate, agreements and schedules.
Know what is stocked at every branch, in any format, instantly. Place orders for customers to be despatched from straight from your other branches, or restock regionally before you run out.
Merchanter can warn of things you may be concerned about – whether that’s customers near their credit limit, products running low on stock or customers’ drop in spending, so you can stay one step ahead.
You have the flexibility to choose which alerts you set, including upper or lower limits, and time-sensitive reminders.
Delivery Notes can be scanned into the system, or drivers can get customers to sign directly on a tablet. Signed proof of delivery can then either be emailed when requested or automatically attached to every invoice, meaning smoother integration with the system for up-to-the-minute accuracy, reporting and customer service.
Hold each type of product to the level of stock detail that is relevant. Valuable hardwoods can be controlled to a mixed width specification, while sheet materials can be sold by the unit sheet.
Add to customer orders or mill for stock orders. Mill and Return lines improve the description of processing required, adding the right information to the cost and selling price of a job to ensure you are making a sensible margin every time. You can also send material to Outworkers for additional processing – whatever your way of working, Merchanter allows you the ultimate control with the ultimate flexibility.
Advanced interoperability means it's simple to link up with your chosen PIM, eCommerce platform, marketplace or digital accounting package for best-in-class performance in every areas of your business
