In today’s
demanding world, distributors like you know that customers are hard to come by
and harder to keep. You must provide competitive pricing and superior service.
You are constantly looking for ways to maximize your profits and operating
efficiency.
The SCI Distribution Management System (DMS) is an extraordinary and
comprehensive system designed to fulfill all of your needs from inventory
control and sales reporting to purchasing and general ledger.
DMS Saves Money…
Until now, the cost of designing and maintaining a comprehensive computer system
has been prohibitive. You may have settled for less efficient methods of
administration like separate systems for each part of your organization. DMS
gives you the ability to get precisely the system that you need, affordably.
The SCI Distribution Management System was designed using a very popular
database management environment renowned for its cost effectiveness and
user-friendliness.
DMS can be used on hundreds of different computer systems from PC’s for just one
or two users to very large mainframes for hundreds of users (e.g. IBM, DEC,
Hewlett Packard, Data General, virtually all UNIX systems, Microsoft NT/2000 and dozens more!).
You can use the computer that best fits your needs today, and if your
organization outgrows the computer you selected, you won’t lose your DMS
software investment.
DMS was designed with the non-technical user in mind. This makes upkeep on the
system easy and inexpensive. Most requests can be filled by your existing
employees so there is no need to have a staff of computer people to maintain
your system. In fact, most organizations using DMS don’t have any computer staff
at all!
Thoroughly Tested…
The SCI Distribution Management System was originally installed in 1984. Since
then it has been put to use in locations around the country. Today, at any given
time, hundreds of users are accessing the system. DMS has passed the most
rigorous test possible…daily usage!
DMS helps
you improve Customer relations…
With SCI Distribution Management System, you can maintain extensive information
about all of your customers. DMS, for example, will maintain an on-screen 36
month illustration of how many days your customer is paying you in. Also, every
invoice is maintained complete with sales detail, payments detail and notes for
future reference.
Also, with all of their information at your fingertips, you can answer any
question that a customer might have, within seconds.
Finally, the simple fact that your operation is more efficient indicates to your
customers that you will remain competitive.
Inventory Control With DMS…
DMS makes use of many of the techniques prescribed by Gordon Graham for
replenishing and maintaining inventory efficiently. You can choose, at the time
of system setup, your costing method (e.g., Lifo, Fifo, Average, Standard or
Last Cost.) The system will handle up to 99 warehouses. You can use daily cycle
counts or physical inventory.
Sales Reporting…
DMS comes complete with a very powerful sales report generator. You can pick an
output format and specify the select data to be reported. You can rank and
sub-rank and include or exclude sales dollars, units, profits. Additionally, in
a multi-year comparison, you can include or exclude change and percent of
change.
DMS makes your operation more efficient…
The SCI Distribution Management System consists of software modules. You choose
just those that are important to your organization. All of our modules are
thoroughly integrated to ensure that your information is up-to-the-minute and
accurate and that there is no error-prone duplicate data entry. With DMS, all
the information and control is right at your fingertips so you can finally use
your computer as the tool it should be to help you reach your goals.

the distribution marketplace. Starting with one programmer over 20 years ago at
the request of a few local users, SCI has grown to include a full staff of
