Statement Processing
The IRIDIUM tool lets you bill your customers in the way that is best for your bottom line. Billing can be automatically charged according to the end-of-day delivery processing, or customers can choose to be charged based on a monthly statement.
Payment Card Processing
The IRIDIUM tool lets you collect payments from your customers on a sale by sale basis or by keeping payment information on file and collection after a delivery or service is completed.
Management
The IRIDIUM tool helps to automate and monitor billing, invoicing, and driver commission reporting. This includes tracking orders that have been cancelled or not yet delivered and provide immediate feedback that answers the question, “How am I doing today?”
Accounting
Keeping the Accounting system streamlined, the IRIDIUM tool is configured with a highly-customizable general ledger as well as portals for accounts payable and accounts receivable. New to the tool is the integration of credit card processing, linking the transaction with the customer.
Barcode Information
As items are purchased in a retail location, scanning the item’s barcode or UPC symbol is at the point of sale helps to track inventory within. Varying information that is contained (programmed) within the barcode or UPC symbol triggers the Inventory tool to automatically populate sales orders that are already preconfigured within the system
Mobile Devices
Costing of inventory within the system is calculated on an average cost basis, either by location or across all locations. When inventory is purchased, the total value of the inventory on the purchase order is added to the total value of the items currently in inventory. This total value is then divided by the total number of units and generates a new average cost value.
Multi Channel Integrations
