Quoting and managing sales orders enables the vital coordination of activities between your sales, shop, shipping and accounting groups. It facilitates efficient management of accounts, pricing, shipping, invoicing and commissions. Sales management provides you with the tools to produce accurate estimates, streamline your order-to-cash cycle, and calculate reliable estimates and improve customer service.

Quote Management and Order Management enable you to capture orders and seamlessly integrate the information with supply chain, production, fulfillment, and accounting systems. By streamlining the sales process—centralizing access to product, pricing, customer information—orders can be generated with a minimal number of steps. It automates and improves labor-intensive processes for quoting, proposal generation, configuration and order entry. You can increase sales productivity by increasing accuracy during the quote and order processes, and identify the right solution to meet your customers’ needs.

Estimate and Quote Management
Easily generate and track all customer or prospect requests for quotation (RFQs), from the time of receipt until an order is placed. You can get quotations out more quickly and be more accurate with pricing and lead-times.

Order Management
Order Management drives the Vista system. From the time an order is entered, its progress is tracked through final shipment, producing timely reports on demand. With Order Management, all orders and change orders will be effectively managed online, perfecting the order-to-delivery process for maximum customer satisfaction.

Demand Management
Demand Management responds to today’s business conditions and incorporates the requirements of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) to help your company reduce lead time in the office for planning and procurement, thus enabling you to respond on the production floor faster.

Demand Management offers the establishment of contracts that can be linked to sales orders and releases. These contracts can be managed, and schedules produced, automatically with set periodicities that match each customer’s unique shipping needs.

Demand Management not only looks at the demand side of EDI, but also focuses on the fulfillment side with secure outbound Advanced Ship Notice (ASN) transactions that the customer reconciles with each shipment. Through an inbound EDI document, the CUM (Cumulative) total value and actual received quantity is then electronically sent back to you for reconciliation and potential adjustment.
