The automated web shop concept
Most systems are based upon very traditional concepts of “Order to cash” as the sales process and “Purchase to Pay” as the purchasing process. And between the two are the “warehouse” – the logistics hub – where all deliveries arrive, get stored and later picked for delivery to the customer. And usually thei are not connected.
Add drop ship processing to this, and only the biggest and most advanced webshops hace some sort of automation. Until now.
The At Work highly automated flow – assisted by our unique Purchase Optimizer – is a breakthrough for integrating and optimizing the process - and available for all businesses.
Imported from the customers webshop, purchasing system or registred directly in At Work - it doesn't make any difference. We handle them all in our integrated workflow according to the customer business rules.
Take advantage of our PEPPOL and EDI capabilities, enable old ERP systems with modern communications and integrated processes.
Optimizing the Purchase
Find the best vendor (or vendors) for your orders and save money and time.
We even calculate freight costs in the picture, and giving you different supplier options with prices before making the decision.
When the order or requisition is approved - decide it you want to split it into more purchase orders (to save time and money), join it with existing purchase orders for the same supplier or just send it immediately (which we highly recommend).
For many suppliers we can check the availability and delivery time automatically.
And more and more often, the order processing is done via the PEPPOL network. Order, confirmation and delivery notice.
Sometimes, delivery is made to the warehouse, registred and re-packaged along with other items and finally sent to the customer..
Other times, it's delivered on site or directly to the end customer - and the suppliers delivery confirmation is your only source.
And then you have the orders where your services and craftmanship is the key to the customers satisfaction.
We support all of them - united and streamlined - you can even combine them on the same order.
When the invoice from the suppliers arrive, we already know whivh purchase order (or orders) they belong to - and we match it item by item to make sure they add up - price, number of items, everything. Automatically - you only handle them manually if they don't match.
