Windward’s Industrial Software is a flexible, integrated, inventory control, point of sale and accounting package designed in conjunction with our existing Industrial clients.
Real Inventory and 'Virtual Warehouse' Databases
Why clog your main database with items that you might sell. Using our auxiliary database allows you to keep items you may sell out of your main database. When a customer wants you to order it, a few button clicks adds it directly to your main database.
Cost Markup Tables
Some small cost items might have a larger margin than items with a higher cost. Using Windward you can use our price adjustment routine and build a markup table to assign markups based on the cost of an item. Items less than 1.00 markup 300%. Items between 1.01 and 2.00 markup 250%, etc.
Parts and Service
Work Orders are used for work in progress. This can include repairs, but can also include sales where extra work is required before the item is delivered to the customer. The inventory is marked as allocated so that it cannot be sold to someone else, but the invoice is not posted to the general ledger until the actual sale is complete.
Contractor Sales
Support for selling large quantities to one customer, such as sales for an apartment building or hotel chains.
Contract Pricing
Negotiating a special price with a contractor is the reality of large orders. Tracking this manually can be labour intense, consuming any value received from the initial negotiations. With Windward, entering the item, the contractor and the price means the contractor gets that pricing automatically. Having the price expire at the negotiated date happens automatically.
Upselling Accompanying Accessories
When selling pipe, do your sales and service reps know - or remember - to offer the accompanying fittings? Many of today's faucets come without handles, do your reps know to remind customers that they need to purchase these items separately, or which handles fit which faucets? Using tag along parts and upsell warning comments can allow your staff to remember to sell accompanying inventory, and increase profits on each transaction!
Document Management by Inventory Item
Installation instructions are often required by your customer and contractors. Using our documents button on an inventory item allows you to associate images, instructions and other resources to be available for printing at the click of a button.
