Customer Management

Integrate sales, marketing, and customer service with your financials to close more sales and improve customer loyalty.  Manage accounts, contracts, projects, and more while gaining a complete view of your business and your customers.

Financial Management

Enhance profit margins with a powerful set of financial applications no matter how complex or simple your requirements are.

• Accounts payable
• Accounts Receivable
• Cash Flow Management
• Budget and Forecasting
• Fixed Asset Management
• And more!

Production, Supply Chain, and Crisis Management

ERP allows you to visualize and manage your production process with customized workflows.  No matter if your product requires process or discrete manufacturing (or both!) you’ll have the flexibility to add or subtract additional steps, and the control to streamline your production processes.  Gain depth and control from Bill of Material revision through robust shop floor capabilities including lot tracking with an expiration date.  Ensure quality management and up-to-date data with the ability to trace all raw materials and store the safety and handling information.

In case of a recall or claim, contact information for all parties involved, from suppliers through production, distributors, and retailers is easily attainable through the ERP system which will facilitate crisis management.  All members of the crisis management team can take appropriate actions with integrated management across purchasing, inventory management, manufacturing, sales, customer service, accounting, and finance.

FDA Compliance

As a cosmetics or beauty product manufacturer, wholesaler, repackager, or distributor, you must adhere to strict industry standards, set forth by the FDA through the US Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to ensure the quality of your products.  As of November 2019, recent FDA regulations have rendered many business management systems for quality control, documentation, tracking, and data security noncompliant.  A robust ERP solution will keep you compliant by providing improved documentation, tracing capabilities, time-stamping, data security, and distribution control.
