Enhanced Sales
VerticalSoft's enhanced sales granule optimizes multi-faceted sales operations: contract pricing, customer pricing, commodity market pricing, promotional discounts, quantity break discounts, multiple selling/pricing units of measure, off-invoice allowances, unlimited price levels, suggested retail price, customer authorization codes, future price lists, and recalculation of selling price based on a changed cost.

Deduction Management
Columbus IT's Deduction Management was designed to assist companies in managing the remittance process, in particular unallowed and allowed deductions that tie back to marketing plans if so desired. In addition, the granule allows for greater flexibility in applying customer payments than is offered in standard NAV. Users can quickly identify all payments awaiting application for each customer, and new and improved forms provide a comprehensive look at that customer's open entries, making it remarkably easy to apply a specific payment to a specific entry or entries. Deductions to these payments can be recorded and either posted along with the payment, or kept open within the system for resolution at a later time.

Container Tracking
Container tracking provides a facility to track both consumable and returnable containers. All containers can be serialized and traced: drums, totes, railcars etc. Status of containers can be viewed onsite, indicating empty or packed including contents. On-Site and Off-Site inventory is available at any time. Weight and capacity information is captured allowing each container to be valued and stored by actual weight. Container history is readily available to facilitate the return process. Items can be packed in unlimited container types. Customers can then specify how items are packed at the time of sales order entry. Lot information can be tied to one or many containers, providing the capability of lot and sub-lot tracking.

Automated Data Capture
VerticalSoft's automated data capture and bar code solutions enable complete control over the supply chain: raw material receipt, intermediate and finished product movement, customer requirements, destinations, catch weight, bill of lading, invoicing and distribution.

Sales Status Board
The sales status board will show a static or dynamic picture of the holdover/inventory position, sales orders and shipments, and purchase orders and receipts, and production orders and receipts, as well as current market prices. Individual users can choose if they want to see the current, static view of inventory and orders, or an updated inventory that changes dynamically throughout the day. It will be displayed for up to a three-day view, and NAV's drill down capability will make rapid access to underlying data a matter of a single click.
