Enterprise Resource Planning

Knowing what to buy when and how much to buy at a certain price point is the basis for an economical order point. Having access to current and historical sales demand provides a greater view of the needs of your company. Knowing the attributes of purchasing from that vendor better shapes the purchasing time frame and delivery of the PO.

Foodservice has the most complex pricing routines used in distribution. The extreme flexibility in price creation comes from the hierarchal groupings created in Ignition ERP’s cost maintenance.

A single database structure eliminates the issues that plague lesser systems. By leveraging a single database, transactions become REAL TIME and do not suffer the issues that near real-time or synchronized systems encounter each day.

By leveraging deal templates, all the information for the program can be entered at one time on one screen so none of the details of the program are lost between users. Deals benefit from grouping codes that allow for faster, more accurate deal creations. Processing and bill backs can be set up for A/R & A/P integration.

Distribution in general is a high-volume/low-margin business. Knowing that 30+ years of domain experience is incorporated gives you peace of mind. At every potential instance, Ignition ERP extracts the potential to add profit or cover costs – providing you with the ultimate margin maintenance tool.

Nothing erodes customer confidence more than inaccurate orders and invoices. Our systems ensure the orders are accurate, priced correctly, and have all the items necessary to create the perfect order. With our frequently ordered item review, critical item notification, and multi-step order validation points, you can rest assured the order will be profitable for your company.

Many distributors are challenged with overtime labor issues. Work must be completed. Ignition ERP improves your processes and, as a direct result, allows you to better allocate your labor expense.

Ignition ERP can accept orders from multiple channels, whether innate or third-party. Ignition ERP is complemented by Ignition OMS which is a multi-channel order management system that encompasses customer service, external sales teams, and customer-facing order entry options with all the details necessary to create dependency with your users.

Knowing what you have, what has been committed, and what is coming in is critical to being able to maintain the service levels promised to your customers. Your sales team members have access to all of the inventory/purchasing information you want to provide to them so they can make educated decisions that do not negatively impact your customers.

Production is a critical component of many distributors’ profits. An incorrectly managed recipe or an inaccurate MRP projection will have immediate, dramatic impacts. Ignition ERP tells you what to make, when to make it, and what to make it from, and provides that detail to accurately cost and price the item to account for all aspects of its production.
