Purchasing
In the wholesale distribution and manufacturing industries, space and time are money. Therefore it is essential to have tight control of stock levels, orders and locations.
To ensure efficiency levels are high, staff need transparent access to data across the system, so that informed up to the minute decisions can be made. There is no point having stock arrive a day after the customer wants it, or having insufficient stock to meet established customer demand.
The QX purchasing suite allows you to track sales trends and stock levels, minimising stock liabilities while maximising profit. By careful use of stock coding, analysis can be made to vary stock levels according to the availability and usage of each product. The QX purchase proposal option is able to calculate your stock requirements and recommend the best buying solution.
Openda allows the allocation of expected stock to be allocated to sales orders, covering demand and preventing stock misallocation. Tight controls prevent the allocated of any back-to-back items being removed without the Purchase Department’s prior approval.
The Purchasing universal access module (UAM) allows up to the minute interrogation of customer orders, ensuring seamless fulfillment of demand. This ability gives you the confidence to place purchase orders for the desired quantity at the best price available.
Both supplier standard and discounted rates can be held for ease of purchasing along with supplier item codes, minimum order quantities, lead times and units of measure. All designed to reduce the margin for error.

Feedback from our clients
Your whole business depends on your software supplier, you have to get into bed with them, to trust them completely and that’s scary! With Openda we don’t have that fear anymore. They are very friendly, accommodating and they deliver on their promises.
QX is a very stable system. We haven’t had to reboot it any way, shape or form, other than for routine house-keeping purposes. The system has not gone down on us in over 5 years of continuous use.
Prior to making a final decision on which ERP system to select we got to spend time with Openda’s customers. They gave us an honest and open view on the QX system. It was this unique approach which really convinced us that Openda were the company that can support our needs now and in the future.
The mass global suppliers of ERP Systems only saw Kukri as another number in their sales figures. Openda were different from the outset. They took time to understand our business and how we operated before anything else. Our needs, rather than their product, drove the sales process.
