Purchasing

Buyers can qualify the return on promotions or forward buys, allowing you to increase customer service levels in relation to costs and to focus your efforts on the items that are earning you the highest profits.

A variety of purchasing options, including vendor substitutions, direct ships, and specials, allow you to adjust your processes as your customers' needs demand while controlling your costs. In addition, Prophet 21 enables you to compute the landed cost of an item to assist you in generating a more accurate cost and gross profit margin, and distributes freight to item cost by weight, quantity, and/or cost to provide more accurate data on which to base pricing and commissions.
