Product Management

Data maintained in traditional inventory management modules of financial and ERP systems does not usually extend further than stock control or manufacturing requirements of the organisation.

EFFICIENCY Product Management holds any product and services information essential for sales, marketing, service and knowledge base of the enterprise.

There is no limit to type of products and services data - static, transactional, audio, video or graphical - that can be stored and analysed. EFFICIENCY's product management system allows management to design, execute and manage even the most specific tasks such as loyalty marketing, content management, catalogue maintenance, catalogue selling, e-commerce, and subscriptions.

Set sales targets for each product or products group and analyse sales, marketing and service results in real time for multi-level campaigns, sales orders, quotations, invoiced sales, periods and sales staff performances.

Extensive cross referenced product information from vendors and ability to set a comprehensive multi-tier special pricing matrix for a range or individual customers at campaign levels allows the management to increase or maintained the target the profit margins by reacting immediately to the changes in the customer and market demands.

Standard product and service prices be automatically updated from vendors as their prices or the exchange rates change; the recommended and the minimum selling prices or the gross margins can be automatically set based on specific business rules.
