Currency movement and freight increases meant several product groups had been sold below true cost for months. **Outcome:** Landed cost is now calculated per receipt. Two product groups were repriced immediately, and pricing rules were changed to work from live cost rather than an annual snapshot. ### A trade counter that queued **Scenario:** Counter staff used the same slow order screen as the office. At busy times customers waited, and regulars started phoning their orders through instead of visiting. **Outcome:** A fast counter mode with account lookup, repeat orders and immediate despatch cut transaction time considerably. Counter footfall recovered over the following quarter. ### Rebates left unclaimed **Scenario:** Supplier rebate agreements were tracked in a spreadsheet by one person. When they left, several schemes went unclaimed for two quarters before anybody noticed. **Outcome:** Rebate schemes are held in the system and accrued automatically as purchases are made. Claims are produced on schedule and reconciled against what was actually received. ## Figures - **Live** Landed cost, per receipt - **Fast** Counter and phone order entry - **Auto** Carrier labels, manifests and tracking ## Frequently asked questions **Can it run a trade counter as well as a phone room?** Yes. Counter mode handles account and cash sales, immediate despatch, card payment and printed receipts, on the same stock and pricing as everything else. **Do you support e-commerce and trade portals?** Yes. A customer portal for order placement, order history and statements, plus API integration with the common e-commerce platforms so web orders follow the same rules as any other. **How are returns and credits handled?** Returns are booked against the original order, inspected on receipt, and credited or replaced with the reason recorded. Return rates by product and customer are reported, which frequently changes a buying decision. **Can we sell in different units from how we buy?** Yes. Buy by pallet, stock by box, sell by each, with conversion factors held per item and the maths done consistently everywhere it appears. **Does it handle EDI with the big retailers?** Yes, for the common formats - orders in, despatch advices and invoices out - with label formats matched to each customer’s requirements so chargebacks stop being a monthly cost. ## Related solutions - **Stock Control Software** - Multi-location stock with bin locations, barcode scanning, batch and serial traceability, and figures that are right first time. https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/stock-control-software/lincolnshire/lincoln - **Warehouse Management Software** - Directed put-away, wave and batch picking, packing, despatch and carrier integration - run from scanners on the warehouse floor. https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/warehouse-management-software/lincolnshire/lincoln - **Order Management Software** - Take, allocate, fulfil and invoice orders from one screen - with live stock, part-shipments, back orders and contract pricing handled automatically. https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/order-management-software/lincolnshire/lincoln - **Purchase Order Software** - Requisitions, approval limits, purchase orders raised from real demand, goods-in booking and three-way matching. https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/purchase-order-software/lincolnshire/lincoln ## Elsewhere in Lincolnshire See https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/wholesale-distribution-software/lincolnshire for wholesale & distribution software across Lincolnshire. ## Contact - **Product:** CubeERP - **Trading name of:** Cube Systems Limited (company number 17220899, ICO registration number ZC216972) - **Email:** hello@cubeerp.co.uk - **Sales:** sales@cubeerp.co.uk - **Support:** support@cubeerp.co.uk - **Telephone:** 01234 672 617 (+441234672617) - **Address:** Unit 11, Olney Business Park, Osier Way, Olney, Buckinghamshire, MK46 5FP - **Opening hours:** Monday to Friday, 9am to 5.30pm - **Part of:** Crushed Ice Group (https://crushedicegroup.co.uk)
