Why EMERGE Product Management Software is the best for your SMB?

As a cloud-based system, EMERGE product management software helps you track inventory in real time, issue purchase orders and sales orders along with financial documents, including invoices and receipts at the same time. Managing the entire process from purchasing to storage, fulfillment, and even after-sales in a centralized system helps reduce errors and improve operational efficiency.

• For purchasing, when products arrive at the warehouse, issuing a Receive Note allows you to accurately record data into the system. This helps to minimize inventory discrepancies caused by mismatches between physical inventory and system inventory due to human error in processes such as receiving and storing.
• EMERGE updates inventory levels in real time, whether goods are being brought into or out of the warehouse, along with goods already in stock. This allows you to track all of your required inventory levels in a variety of ways, including or excluding purchase orders or sales orders that have been created.
• Having product management software means you have a system that records inventory movements in real time with high accuracy. With the right and timely inventory levels, you can sell better, quote faster, and minimize situations such as duplicate sales or underselling.

To support the sale of product bundles, kits, or sets, EMERGE offers a product management solution that helps wholesalers manage inventory for both individual items and packaged products.

• Create parent products linked to child products or components based on the Bill of Materials (BOM).
• Track inventory levels for each item and each component within a bundle so you can estimate stock availability and make accurate purchasing decisions.
• When a sales order requires a bundled product, you can generate a production order with the corresponding quantity for that bundle to avoid overstocking. This production order is linked directly to the sales order, making the entire process easy to track and fully transparent.
• The system will automatically deduct inventory levels for each item in the bundle that has been produced and sold, keeping your inventory records accurate.

In wholesale business, product lines often consist of numerous variants, including size, color, material type, and even expiration dates for each product. Managing such a vast inventory manually becomes impractical, making software for product management essential for effective product management.

• Create various product variants and link them to each other based on the valuation you’ve set. This simplifies the process of setting up tags, images, and selling prices for each individual variant.
• The table variant management interface in the software allows you to view, configure, and sell all variants in a single table view, making it easy to manage.
• For accessories and apparel businesses, managing variants like clothing sizes or jewelry types can be challenging with traditional methods, but a software for product management can help.

Without a product management system, envisioning the complexities that could arise from changes at any stage is daunting and could lead to chaos, hindering your ability to control the entire process.

Serial number management is especially important for companies with relatively expensive products and where it is required to track individual parts or items for warranty purposes, maintenance, or traceability. Electronics, machinery, and automobiles are businesses that practically need this feature in a software for product management for more precision.

• You can assign custom serial numbers to products you have created or purchased. Along with the assigned serial number, you can insert notes, warranty dates, etc.
• This serial number can be very useful in accurately tracking items in and out of your warehouse. You can track the history of each item, such as when it was purchased, manufactured, and to whom it was sold.
• When it comes to after-sales, product management software with serial number tracking can be key in most support cases, such as exchanges, returns, replacements, and warranty claims.
• You can check if a product is still under warranty or if there are any related documents, and link the product to the right customer and order.
• EMERGE also enables the creation and printing of barcodes, which can be used in conjunction with serial numbers for enhanced scanning and warehouse operations.
• You also get a central and secure registry of your inventory. So, prospective buyers can check on their authenticity and service history with you.

In the wholesale distribution sector, particularly within pharmaceuticals, food, and biomaterials, the complexity of inventory tracking and product management intensifies. It is crucial to track each product purchase by batches and, most of the time, by expiry dates. A robust product management software becomes essential to manage shipments and expiration dates efficiently in both receiving and sales processes.

• Assign batch and expiration dates when you receive the goods into the warehouse, and when you complete the manufacturing process, if you have one.
• Each batch is tracked from purchase or production to sale, allowing you to identify which customer received the product from that particular batch.
• Choose the batch you want to prioritize selling when you place an order. The system will also display all the information about the batch and expiration date when you select the item in the sales process.
• With expiry dates assigned for each batch, you can track shelf life and prevent costly inventory expirations.
• Generate Inventory Overall Report with batch information and set a date range to view expiring products.
• Using the Expiry Batch Reminder feature to generate and mass-send emails to remind your customers about the expiring products they have purchased.

This feature proves to be extremely useful in ensuring accuracy and efficiency in the complex landscape of product management in F&B, pharmaceutical businesses.

Organizing products by categories and brands helps businesses maintain a clear structure, making it easier for internal teams and customers to understand the product range. With this structure in place, businesses can generate insightful reports to manage their products more effectively.

• In EMERGE, the Product Reports feature lets you filter data by category, brand, supplier, product tag, and more, giving you the flexibility to analyze your products from multiple angles.
• Use the Product Sales Report to track how your products perform based on specific units of measurement (UOM) and profit margins.
• The Product Trend Report, which requires six months of data, helps you identify which products are rising in popularity and which ones might not be worth reordering.
