‘Easy Come, Easy Go’ Order Management

Every company should have an “easy come, easy go” order management system. In other words, it should be easy to order products and receive them into your warehouse, and it should be just as easy to then pick, pack, and ship them off to customers.

A Quicker Order Management System

To have an “easy come, easy go” order management system, you should get software that allows you to do the following things:

• Set automatic reorder points on products to let you know when they are getting low and you need more.
• Cycle count inventory to keep your numbers accurate rather than having to shut down your warehouse to do in-depth counts.
• Create duplicate purchase orders, sales orders, and other essential documents for common orders, or make other ones just as easily.
• Quickly find products in a warehouse to fill multiple orders at the same time.
• Integrate with QuickBooks to instantly update accounting records when you order products, sell them, or make other changes to your inventory.
• Communicate with couriers, such as USPS, UPS, and FedEx, to inform them when packages are ready to be picked up.

Picking the Right Order Management Software

You don’t want your order management software to be “easy come, easy go.” Some companies try to find the cheapest software to meet their needs right now, but they don’t think about what will happen in a few years when they outgrow its limited features. They’ll have to start all over with new software every few years, spending a lot of time and money to implement them each time. It’s a much better idea to do your homework and find a solution that fits your budget and needs right now and also in the future. Fishbowl Inventory is a good place to start. It offers flexible order management features that can be added upon later on so you don’t have to pay for ones you won’t use right now, but they’re always available. You can keep using Fishbowl Inventory for many years, whether you’re a small business, midsize company, or large organization. It’s “easy come,” but you won’t want to let it go as you find how useful it is in managing your orders. Get an inventory software demo today to learn more.
