Workflow

IMPROVE CONTROL, drive efficiency

Increase productivity

I am so impressed with the power of workflow rules that I intend to create a Futura rule for every business process to ensure company rules and procedures are always adhered to

says Rupert Frost IT Director of Frosts Garden Centres

Have you ever wanted to see vital information, crucial to the smooth running of your business, at a glance?  Or automate the follow-up of simple tasks?  Or get more achieved in a day?

Now, with Futura's latest technology, Workflow, you can.

Key data such as sales with low margin, orders due for delivery and transactions exceeding business thresholds can be pulled together to improve your productivity.   

Workflow brings data right to you, saving you time, by notifying you by automated emails when purchase orders are created, or where the total of the order exceeds a buyer's limit or notifying you on screen if a member of your staff has not completed a vital action.  This instant alert system can help you respond more quickly and be pro-active.

Rules can be simply created to ensure you always have complete information.  This could be ensuring delivery dates are entered on purchase orders or supplier numbers are inputted, so suppliers can be chased and their performance easily analysed.

Task lists can identify exceptions such as making sure your operators do not forget to confirm "picks" from the warehouse and to ensure your delivery notes are booked in at branch location, to ensure stock accuracy.   Workflow can even help you introduce business exception reporting, to enable you to take effective and targeted action to reduce costs and operational errors, fast.

For retailers focusing on operational costs and targets, workflow is an effective way of identifying exceptions and taking timely action instead of picking up the issues later, further downstream.
