OVERVIEW

The SCI Wine and Spirits Distribution System (WSDS) is an integrated, computer-based business system. It has been designed to support all transactions related to the sale and distribution of wine, liquor, and other beverages in a simple, easy-to-use way. WSDS was designed to utilize a relational database management system and to run on a large number of hardware platforms, from large multi-user systems to single-user PC’s.

In addition to the standard features that are found in ANY distribution package, the WSDS includes the following unique extras:

  • Thoroughly tracks the receipt and sale of all goods by the piece, and by the case as well as in gallons and liters. All sales and purchasing history reports required by regulation can be accessed at the touch of a button. Sales can be traced and monitored by virtually any characteristic of the vendor, part, customer, order, or invoice! Report generator allows creation of reports in virtually any format with whatever data YOU choose.

  • Inquires are easily answered with multi-level cross-referencing to aid in accessing customers or parts without knowing the customer numbers or part numbers. Direct access between all of the inquiry modules in built-in so you don’t have to jump between several menus before you get to the information that you need. While the uses of the inquiry system are endless, you will find it of particular value when dealing with a customer or salesman who wants an answer fast! The automatic on-line update routines ensure that the information you are looking at is always current and accurate.

  • A comprehensive pricing module is included. It is designed to handle multiple states, several discount categories, variable commissions, and case lots as well as individual pieces. In addition, different products can be grouped together with discounts based on purchases within the group. Price lists, with or without discounts, can be printed directly from the computer.

  • Co-operative ordering is accommodated with the ability to track all or part of an order. Group discounting within the co-op can be combined with individual customer orders.

As you would expect, the SCI Wine and Spirits Distribution System can also provide the following features:

  • Inventory Control - including substitutions, sales and purchasing activity, sales and purchasing history, physical count entry and update.

  • Sales Order Maintenance - including packing lists, invoicing, and complete interface with accounts receivable.

  • Accounts Payable/Purchasing - including comprehensive vendor information with payment and purchasing history, individual or batch control, auto pay, on-account payments, and manual check control, purchase order matching, goods-received reports, automatic ordering. Fully integrated into inventory module.

  • Accounts Receivable - complete customer information including payment and sales history, cash receipts, Notices of Obligation, cash forecast, statements, and aging reports. Handles COD, regular on-account shipments, or combination of both.
