Web/E-Commerce
The internet provides a powerful new platform for collaborative commerce. A company's supply chain can be strengthened and become more efficient with Web/E-Commerce. Collaborative solutions offered today only list product offerings. They don't take advantage of the full potential to streamline commercial interactions, giving supply chain partners access to real-time information and self-service.
Distribution Planning

Enhanced Sales
VerticalSoft's enhanced sales granule optimizes multi-faceted sales operations: contract pricing, customer pricing, commodity market pricing, promotional discounts, quantity break discounts, multiple selling/pricing units of measure, off-invoice allowances, unlimited price levels, suggested retail price, customer authorization codes, future price lists, and recalculation of selling price based on a changed cost.
Container Tracking
Container tracking provides a facility to track both consumable and returnable containers. All containers can be serialized and traced: drums, totes, railcars etc. Status of containers can be viewed onsite, indicating empty or packed including contents. On-Site and Off-Site inventory is available at any time. Weight and capacity information is captured allowing each container to be valued and stored by actual weight. Container history is readily available to facilitate the return process. Items can be packed in unlimited container types. Customers can then specify how items are packed at the time of sales order entry. Lot information can be tied to one or many containers, providing the capability of lot and sub-lot tracking.
Automated Data Capture
VerticalSoft's automated data capture and bar code solutions enable complete control over the supply chain: raw material receipt, intermediate and finished product movement, customer requirements, destinations, catch weight, bill of lading, invoicing and distribution.
Rebates etc.
Customer/Vendor Rebates predefine a variety of rebates that "earn from" or "pay to" other entities based on purchase or sales transactions. Rebates earned from vendors, vendor off-invoice discounts, rebates paid to customers, salesmen's spiffs, etc. Once a rebate is defined, the Customer/Vendor Rebates module monitors purchasing and order processing transactions, looking for transactions that qualify to earn a rebate. When a qualifying transaction is monitored, the rebate system calculates the rebate amount, builds a sub-ledger of rebates earned, posts accounts receivable and accounts payable and makes corresponding entries in the general ledger. The rebate module is also used to accrue complex commissions where the commission parameters vary down to the customer/product level.
