Features of Special Interest

1. AutoQuotes Project Creation of Quote, Items, Vendors and Customers in one Import.

Perhaps you already know how much work it is to take an AutoQuote and manually transfer all necessary information into your own software program.  With POSitive POSitive For Restaurant Equipment, what took you perhaps an hour can be done automatically in just seconds.

Save the AutoQuote file on your computer.  Then go to Maintenance: Import: Import AutoQuotes and select the file and make a few settings.. The importer will parse the file and extract all inventory items, pricing, descriptions, and pictures, link them to the proper vendors and create a Quote in POSitive for the customer.  All in just a matter of seconds.  (see Help File Topic: Import AutoQuotes)

2. Import of AutoQuotes Purchase Orders into POSitive Purchase Orders:

When the customer accepts the Quote, POSitive converts all or selected items to a pending Order and initiates purchase orders for all of the vendors requesting that the items be drop-shipped directly to the customer or assigned for pickup or delivery.  As products are distributed by the vendors, POSitive prepares Accounts Payables for the vendor directly or to the vendor's buyer group.

3. Buyer Groups:

Each individual vendor can stand independently or be linked to a buyer group. A history of all products purchased from the vendor is kept and tracked from purchase to sale.  Purchase totals are tallied and readily available for review.

4. Vendor Incentive Program:

For vendors who provide incentive programs with purchase thresholds, POSitive will track all purchases and prepare reports on demand to alert management of up-coming threshold markers.

5. Delivery Options for Customer Purchases:

Customers can pick-up their purchases, have them drop-shipped directly from the vendor, or have them scheduled for delivery.

6. Customer Returns and RMA Processes:

If customers need to return products or equipment, POSitive dynamically traces the items back to the vendor for repair, replacement or substitution.  Or the item can be retained and sold as Used equipment.
