Multiple Locations/Warehouses
An ERP Package (Sales, Purchasing, and Logistics, and Accounting Management) that Shows its Strength in Logistics Business
Plaza-i is a versatile ERP that integrates quotation, sales orders, purchase orders, inventory, receivables, payables, and general accounting; however, it incorporates the following standard functionality to support logistics management: picking lists, lot automatic assignment, distribution arrangement, reservation of car allocation, automatic calculation of piece and logistics units, delivery fee calculation, memo for logistics instructions, and printing address label stickers.
Therefore, if you wish to centralize receiving and shipping management at the warehouse or if each location makes sales and/or purchase order entries on a necessary basis while almost all products are procured through centralized purchasing by the headquarters and stored in distribution centers and locations nationwide, the Plaza-i logistics and sales management systems are the ones you need.
Facilitate Receiving/Shipping Management Based on Stock-in/out Voucher
To properly conduct warehouse operations, it is necessary to eliminate inventory movement that is not based on, what we call, stock-in/out vouchers; however, warehouse personnel directly creating them would not be appropriate.
Plaza-i is an ERP system that promotes seamless business operations; when sales/purchasing departments enter and approve the source vouchers at the time of sales/purchase orders and return of goods, etc., the system automatically creates stock-in/out vouchers. Although the logistics department can also create the vouchers depending on transaction types by making and approving stock-in/out request vouchers, Plaza-i automatically creates almost all stock-in/out vouchers upon approval by designated departments. This is one of the strengths of Plaza-i that helps revamp your logistics operations by associating with business operations done by each department.
Streamline Logistics Operations by Distribution Arrangement Based on Stock-in/out Voucher
Plaza-i supports not only shipping collectively from the distribution center but also many patterns at source vouchers like sales orders, such as partial delivery, inventory movement to other locations, separate routes, direct delivery, and collection of returned goods. All warehouse operations are completed upon the receiving/shipping process being performed based on auto-generated stock-in/out vouchers.
Furthermore, Plaza-i can combine stock-in/out vouchers into distribution units and picking lists can be output, the distribution method assigned, and address labels printed, which streamlines warehouse operations without implementing a separate logistics system.
Receiving/Shipping Operations at Multiple Inventory Locations
In Plaza-i, even when you handle multiple warehouses, distribution arrangement is enabled based on stock-in/out vouchers automatically generated. This is because Plaza-i can handle distribution arrangement in a location other than the ship-from and shipping products from other stores.
Plaza-i is the best choice to streamline logistics operations when you have distribution centers and multiple locations and want to digitize sales management based on which logistics data is created.
Sales Order-Purchase Order Operations Are not Straightforward
Logistics operations are deeply associated with sales order and purchase order operations and significantly differ from business to business. If you are a manufacturer, a fabless company, a trading company, need processing operations, or involved in export/import operations, a one-size-fits-all system cannot streamline your operations.
Plaza-i Automatically Creates Accounting Data
Although you may think logistics operations are not related to accounting, Plaza-i automatically creates accounting data in the background with one click based on the above on-site logistics operations.
This is considered desirable in terms of accounting and internal controls as segregation of duties is implemented. From management perspectives, the system is highly valued as it brings about benefits by eliminating redundant accounting operations. From operational viewpoints, the effective system prevents users from omission in everyday tasks.
Delivery Charge Calculation and Reservation of Car Allocation at the Time of Sales Order
Plaza-i automatically calculates piece/logistics units and delivery charges based on a selected shipping company and destination. When delivering goods by your company truck, you can reserve your company truck (car allocation) at the time of entering a sales order.
In addition to realizing essential logistics management based on stock-in/out vouchers, Plaza-i helps enhance efficiency in logistics operations with well-designed, useful features.
