ADVANCED GROUPING AND SHIPPING
SHIPPING ROOM
The Shipping Room helps the Operator decide if finished orders are to be shipped immediately or need to wait for upcoming ones still in production. The Shipping Room can print the delivery documents and the related shipping labels. It can even log the tracking number on the shipping order. It is the ideal solution for optimizing orders, facilitating production, increasing efficiency and reducing shipping costs.
INVOICING & DOCUMENTS
Billing information is automatically recalled from the centralised database thus reducing errors and speeding up the overall process. Invoices' layout can be customised with multiple formats and with the company logo in order to replicate as close as possible the existing company layout.
CREDIT & DEBIT NOTES
Invoicing integrates directly with Ordering, so data is entered only once. The system handles immediate billing, end-of-month billing, and buying groups, sending a single invoice to the group HQ. Credit notes can automatically recall data from the original invoice. It also prints delivery documents, shipping labels, and logs tracking numbers on shipping orders.
INTERFACE TO ACCOUNTING
While lens manufacturers share similar needs worldwide, accounting practices vary by country. To address this, we offer to develop a custom export interface tailored to each lab’s accounting software. This ensures seamless integration without changing the Lab's preferred accounting setup.
MAJOR COURIERS' INTEGRATION
FocalPoints is capable of connecting and integrating with the software of the major Couriers such as Colissimo, FedEx, UPS, United States Postal Service, DX Delivery, Royal Mail.
