SMS Chaser
Procurement Management Software for Sage Line 50 & Sage MMS
Chaser is a revolutionary new procurement management system for Sage Line 50, Sage MMS and SMS Sapphire Manufacturing which keeps on top of your suppliers by automatically chasing late deliveries. Chasing deliveries manually is a labour intensive and therefore highly costly exercise. All of the information required to chase deliveries is available within your distribution system so why waste the valuable time of your staff when they could be doing more productive work?
Chaser emails a predefined list of supplier contacts at a predefined time each day if any overdue deliveries are expected from this supplier. Chaser cleverly shows the urgency of any deliveries with a colour coded system allowing everyone involved to quickly and effectively identify problem deliveries. Three statuses exist to illustrate how late the line is, reminder, overdue and critical. This colour coding is used throughout the client side application as well as on the supplier visible web front-end.
Chaser allows all communication between your business and your suppliers to be held centrally in a web-side database. This centralised data is made visible to your suppliers through a secure website and to your staff by means of an intuitive client-side application. Comments can be left on the website against particular purchase order lines which are then made visible to the client-side application.
Purchase Order Lines are split up into Live and Received so that a historic record can be built up detailing the performance of your suppliers. Detailed Performance information is built up to show how prompt each one of your suppliers actually is. Chaser will keep synchronised with your distribution systems Purchase Order Lines automatically when deliveries are received.
You will never again have to call (or email) your supplier to ask when a delivery will be made.
