Improve Your Inventory Controls and Customer Service
The Sage MAS 500 Inventory Management module puts you in firm control of your distribution business through every step of your inventory process. This powerful tool enables you to manage your warehouse and inventory levels more effectively, enhancing customer satisfaction while maximizing profits. It is a key component of the Sage MAS 500 distribution suite, that was designed with input from supply chain experts to meet the needs of the distribution industry.
The Inventory Management module’s warehouse-centric design lets you track costs and sales histories by warehouse, and enables you to use multiple bins in the same warehouse for a single inventory item. Inventory Management helps you quickly locate the items your customers are requesting, and also allows you to continue taking orders during inventory cycle counting, ensuring that your business continues to operate at peak efficiency. Three-step transfers allow you to track goods, even when they are enroute to a warehouse.
Nearly all mid-level distributors can benefit from the advanced Sage MAS 500 Inventory Management module, which provides the most comprehensive and flexible set of inventory management tools available today.
