Because no two distributors must gather exactly the same information, Prophet 21 allows you to assign limitless attributes to each lot, enabling you to determine exactly which data you associate with each item. Many distributors might also need to keep information about a product's genealogy from manufacturers and suppliers. Prophet 21 makes it easy to record this type of information by enabling you to give each lot its own individual number.
Capabilities:
- Trace item lots from origin through final shipment
- Define limitless attributes to item lots
- Determine which customers need what pieces of documentation
Benefits:
- Better inventory control
- More organised processes
- Improved customer service
And, because one variation - like the print or revision number, or the product's storage specifications - might completely change the characteristics of an item, Prophet 21 offers the flexibility to split each lot to track an infinite number of lot subdivisions. You can also drill into each lot number to determine the lots from which each item came, simplifying the process of tracing items that have been reworked or kitted with other products.
Better Serve Customers
Some customers - like those in the aerospace, automotive, and medical industries - may require that you send specifications and/or certifications related to the lot they purchase, while others may not want such detailed information. Prophet 21 lets you customise records to match customers' documentation needs, and will automatically print, fax, or e-mail the information with packing slips, invoices, or other pieces of correspondence.
And, because the solution also allows you to limit the number of lots you send in each shipment, Prophet 21 helps make it easier for customers to manage documentation for the material they buy, thereby making it easier for you to go back to your customers when issues arise.
