      Supply Center

      Are you struggling to quote product options and determine availability when creating customer orders? As you grow, you need to be able to efficiently sell more complex product while decreasing quote-to-delivery time. EBMS partners with supply centers to address these common challenges and keep your product on the move with efficient point-of-sale and ERP tools. 

      Scenario:  A building supply company sells various framing, roofing, siding, and many other building supplies.  Various styles, sizes, and lengths of materials creates many product SKUs within the catalog.   Custom made products, door assemblies, and building kits creates even more pricing complexity.   EBMS not only organizes a massive catalog to allow quick lookup for quotes and sales, but includes various tools to maintain pricing, include special order items in quotes, and streamline the management of various stock items, special order materials, and various custom products and kits.   Track large items using a serial number and small bulk items using various units-of-measures.  Determine the profitability of individual departments or locations as well as the accounting requirements of the entire company.  EBMS is an integrated ERP system that includes the online order, repeat orders, and quick phone orders or quotes demanded by contractors and homeowners.   

      Scenario:  A landscape supply company sells various aggregate materials in large bulk truck loads or individual bags.  Hardscape can be sold by the brick, layer, or by the cube.  Lawn furniture is sold individually or by the set.  The entire catalog can be kept current by calculating the pricing from supplier catalogs or other common formulas.   Multiple vendor catalogs can be added to the system to include non-stock items from various suppliers.   Complete a quote with materials, labor services, and special-order items for a customer quickly.  Manage sand and stone inventory no matter how aggregates are sold.  Organize delivery and manage contractor accounts as well as a complete accounting reporting system.  EBMS gives a hardscape store the tools to thrive in a competitive environment without compromising service.   

      Scenario: A metal supply company manufacture metal roofing, siding, and trim from serialized metal coil. EBMS calculates the pricing of custom length panels for various styles and colors.  Stock and custom trim can be designed using an integrated trim design software that communicates directly to the brake's controller.  Quoting, managing, and billing for metal packages that contains the trim, panels, and supplies are streamlined using the EBMS software.  Use the complete EBMS ERP system to sell metal including the optional tools if you are rollforming metal based on customer orders. Manage coil, stock trim, and other metal items using the comprehensive inventory system within EBMS.  Combine these tools with the optional job costing and labor management features if the company constructs metal buildings.

The robust accounting system in combination with the various point-of-sales tools and payment methods completes the system for a small or medium size feed mill, fertilizer supply, or general agriculture supply company.
