Cooperation Background
Fir Stone's original system is the traditional SAAS software more than ten years ago, the function is not enough to support the market expansion plan, it is urgent to upgrade the system, and actively seek new solutions through the company. Based on the special attributes of building materials industry, Regentsoft creates a one-stop solution for Fir Stone from source procurement to sales, creatively divides non-goods costs (shipping, tariffs, etc.) into unique codes, supports multi-time zone, multi-currency, multi-tax system, and better supports customers' overseas business development.
Business Challenges
Lack of systematic standard of internal business processes
The system did not timely adjust and record the business processes of customers when multiple goods entering and leaving the warehouse, resulting in frequent inventory/financial mismatch found in later statistics, such as: customer replacement before delivery, slate breakage profit and loss, return to the warehouse, etc., resulting in inventory problems for example, when the subsequent salesman operation distribution orders, the system found inventory of certain product is sufficient and the warehouse is not actually stocked.
Untimely O&M response of the existing system
Problems occur frequently, but the response time of the existing operation and maintenance team is more than one week, which seriously affects the daily business operation of customers.
Separated business and finance, complicated reconciliation
The existing system only records the relevant information of business process documents and goods inventory, and financial personnel need to record and regularly reconcile with separate financial data. The recording and reconciliation process is cumbersome and error-prone.
Solution
Multi-time zone, multi-currency, multi-tax type
The customer's suppliers are located in different countries and the settlement currency is USD/RMB. The customer is located in Canada, of which the east and west time zone span is large, selling in Canadian dollars and having various tax types such as national tax, provincial tax, compound tax, exemption, etc.. Regentsoft system supports setting local currency, exchange rate, complete multi-currency exchange rate calculation against local currency; support multi-time conversion and synchronization; and support the setting of taxes, set separately calculated or tax total.
Design dashboards in product and customer dimensions respectively
Product Dashboard: Based on the product dimension, it can easily query the total inventory, total purchase, total sales and other information of all goods, and can query the cost and entry and exit changes of each unique code under each item number.
Customer Dashboard: Based on the customer dimension, it can easily query the basic information of all customer channels, and can query the account status of each customer, such as orders, invoices, invoices, receivables, payables, deposits and other business and financial statistics.
Divide Non-product costs (freight, customs duties, etc.) into unique code
This customer procures goods from all over the world, involving sea transportation, and consequently, exists sea transportation costs, packing and unloading containers, tariffs, spot check fines, transportation profit and loss, etc. Therefore, the design is to enter the total amount of such non-freight costs for a specific batch after the purchase is placed in storage, and carry out cost allocation for all unique codes under the batch (evenly distributed according to the number of unique codes), and include the cost amount of unique codes so that the sales can see the accurate unique code cost in time, better communicate with customers, and protect the company's income.
System decoupling modular sales
The customer's business is simple, only involving supply chain, distribution, logistics and related modules. Nebula supports decoupling modules, only providing the required parts, and the delivery process is online remote delivery, improves efficiency and results.
Data Effects
At present, Fir Stone had quickly the system gone-live through online delivery and remote operation and maintenance, improving the entire business process from source supply chain procurement to sales completion, and increasing enterprise operation efficiency.
