Industry Process Catalog for CloudSuite Distribution Enterprise – Professional Trade Supplies
The Industry Process Catalog for CloudSuite Distribution Enterprise also includes a micro-vertical for Professional Trade Supplies.
Professional Trade Supplies distributors have challenges that differ from other CloudSuite Distribution Enterprise micro-verticals. Usually with a large catalog of parts for sale that are either stocked or part of an extended catalog, multiple supply chains incorporating drop-ship from suppliers, central and regional distribution centers, and often a branch network, all supported by multiple sales channels like EDI, central accounts teams, telephone sales, and over-the-counter, which all have slight process variations that must be supported.
These processes with supporting functionality are included:
- Over-the-counter sales, with credit card and prepayment
- Supplier rebates
- Sales costing model with attributes to drive pricing
- Equipment Profitability Portal (EPP)
- Simple service process utilizing Infor Mobility for Field Service
- Customer returns with pick-up and corrective invoicing
- Inventory leveling
- Request for quotations within procurement
- Customer order line charges utilizing delivery distances
- Dynamic update of planning values
- QMS in production - Assembly
- Extensibility, including example Mashup SDKs, scripts, ION workflows, XtendM3 extensions, MS Excel macros, and Infor Coleman quests
