Order entry software can be a source of significant productivity improvement for the company.  For complex products or pricing, an order entry tool and help reduce errors, enforce condition checks, and store a history of product purchase.  In addition, when integrated with the manufacturing system, the order entry tool can provide updates on order status, and enable quick and accurate communication with customers.

One of the key components of a successful order entry implementation is making sure that the system can handle the depth and breadth of products.  A key asset to complex product configuration can be a flexible, formula-based Bill of Materials.  A formula-based BOM can define parent elements and relationships between components, enabling easier product maintenance and parameter flexibility.

Another area where flexibility can empower business decisions is with formula-based pricing.  An order entry system with formula-based pricing can handle almost any combination of pricing, based on customers, customer groups, products, product options, volume, or price.  This can empower leverage in negotiation, and provide for negotiations where both the manufacturer and customer achieve a winning deal.

Once customer service has a good tool for entering and maintaining order information, the next step is to bring that access to your customers.  Online order entry enables customers to place orders directly with the company, making the process to buy even easier.  By enabling customers to quickly quote an order, the net volume can often go up.  In addition, it is even easier for customers to view order status and reduce the load on customer service.
