Inventory and Purchasing Management

Whether you are a single or multi-location dealer, poor inventory management can cause lost opportunities or tie up precious capital. VAST Enterprise can help you whether you maintain a large local inventory or purchase product as needed. VAST's inventory management module provides you the tools to forecast your needs, manage your stock and hot shot purchases, level-set inventory between stores, and view your suppliers' inventories in real-time right from the point of sale. 

Through its many features, VAST will help you track inventory sales and returns, manage margins, and ensure that you are not losing profitability regardless of your inventory management strategy. VAST's forecasting tools enable you to quickly calculate replenishment quantities and generate stock purchase orders.

If you are a multi-location dealer, VAST provides such features as centralized or decentralized on-line purchase order creation and management, part warehousing, inventory balancing across stores, as well as purchase-order-to-invoice reconciliation to help you constantly monitor your inventory and quickly reconcile supplier invoices and statements.

Through the integration with Aftersoft's eCommerce solution, OpenWebs, not only can you perform real-time inquiry and ordering from the point-of-sale and purchasing modules, but VAST will also automatically populate your purchase orders,  speeding up the statement reconciliation process and eliminating errors. Through this integration with OpenWebs, VAST will automatically notify you and download new electronic price files for both parts and tires, enabling you to have the latest pricing information in your system to ensure you maintain your profitability.
