Inventory Module Highlights

  • Control inventory in one or multiple branches or companies.
  • ABC Analysis: The ABC process determines the product characteristic based on turns, GM$ or GMROI. For example, if a product has 6.0 turns it is classified as an "A", 4.5 turns is a "B", 3.0 turns is a "C", etc. This can be different for each category. You determine what constitutes an "A" product, "B", etc.
  • Bar-coded Bin Labels: The system is capable of producing bar-coded bin labels at time of receipt of goods from the menu.
  • Branch Transfers: Easily transfer products from one branch to another. Each transfer is assigned a unique transaction number so that a detailed list of all transfers between branches can be reported. The system automatically transfers the cost of inventory along with the goods being moved.
  • Categorization of Inventory: Inventory categorization allows easy, search drill down to specific product records. It also allows the user to define pricing tolerances and function options for the inventory within a major or minor category.
  • Cutdown Feature: The cutdown feature of the Lumberjack System allows you to convert one product into another product or several different products, which the system handles for you.
  • Cycle Counts: Remain open for business when cycle counting. This feature synchronizes the starting count, the input count, and adjusts for sales transactions that occurred in the interim.
  • Depletion of Inventory: Inventory is automatically depleted when the order is invoiced.
  • Dynamic Average Usage: System determines the dynamic average usage or weighted average sales, taking seasonal trends into account. This information is used for purchasing decisions.
  • GMROI Analysis: A business that holds an inventory must know which items are profitable, and which are not, in order to maximize turns and reduce stockouts. The system automatically calculates gross return on investment (GMROI) to identify which items are profitable.

    Accounts Receivable
    The Accounts Receivable Module of the Lumberjack Software system accurately and efficiently tracks one of your largest assets. As orders are finalized in the order entry module, information begins to flow throughout the system into customer files, inventory records, and the general ledger. Accounts receivable is updated accurately in real time. A compliment to the Accounts Receivable Module is the feature-rich Credit Review Module used for tracking critical customer data as it relates to collections. Both modules interact to assist credit personnel in turning accounts receivable as quickly as possible.

    Purchasing/Receiving
    The profitability of your business depends heavily on purchasing procedures. Too few goods in your inventory causes lost sales and too heavy an inventory ties up valuable cash. The Lumberjack system provides specific features in the purchasing module to assist you in optimizing your purchasing decisions. The Purchase Order Planner is an outstanding feature that assists the buyer in analyzing inventory levels at any time throughout the day. Upon receipt of the items exceptions to the original purchase order are entered, and backorders may be flagged. Once goods are received into the system inventory is updated. Provides an interface in the system to reconcile the vendor's invoice to a received purchase order and generate the appropriate accounts payable entry.

    Notice to Owner (Liens)
    In many States, especially Florida and California, a notice to owner (or preliminary notice) must be filed within forty-five days of the first shipment of goods to a job site. This practice is necessary if you want to retain the right to file a lien in the future. The system automatically counts down the 45 days, reminding you to file the notice, and prints the appropriate information on an official three part form. The comment section of the NTO screen allows you to archive contemporaneous comments from both parties so you have a complete, accurate history of information if you need to appear in court.

    Sales Analysis
    At any time of the day you can display total sales for the day on your screen. If you prefer, display a sales snapshot. The Lumberjack system keeps you abreast of your sales trends and information with both screen displays and extensive reporting of valuable sales information necessary to maximize profits. You may select system-generated reports or you may easily generate any "non-standard" report that may be needed only once.

    Ad Hoc Report Generator
    The automatic reports generated by the Lumberjack Software system are plentiful. However, you may want a different type of report, other than those generated by the system. In the Ad Hoc Report Generator, Lumberjack system data may be manipulated to create an unlimited amount of reports of any kind. You may select a one time only report, or store the format for continuity in reporting. Each step in building an Ad Hoc report is menu- driven. The user needs only to follow the available selections in order to build a report. Reports can then be changed, viewed, saved or printed. Each user on the system can set-up their own individual menu of reports. Sensitive files and corresponding reports, such as Payroll, can be protected from unauthorized access. The Ad Hoc Report Module produces labels, and allows for the definition of various label sizes, and the creation of special labels.
