The Order Entry System
GlassShop Central is designed so you can take a person who is relatively
unfamiliar with the glass industry, and have them quoting and booking
jobs with a minimum amount of training. Some of the advantages that
our systems have include:
- The system is Windows based, the standard for business, giving
your employees immediate familiarity with the various controls (hardware
& software),
- You can enter part notes that display on the part, so, you can
specify which lot to take from inventory first, or tell your CSR's
to remember to use a certain molding,
- The order entry screen is designed as "all-in-one".
You do not have to move from screen to screen to finish an order.
Its all on the main screen.
- Quotes, Work Orders, and Invoice documents are maintained physically
separate,
- Multiple methods of looking up previous orders,
- You can save a work order directly from the schedule, and to any
site!
- The scheduler is fully configurable on days and hours of the weeks,
sites, and technicians.
- The order entry system has multiple checks and balances, making
sure that you have the least amount of errors as possible. You can
require certain fields, such as the Date of Loss, to be required
before a document can become an invoice.
The Inventory System
The inventory system in our Central System is particularly strong,
as it caters directly to the automotive & retail glass industry.
We maintain inventory numbers in Small Business Financials & Great
Plains, but we also maintain a variety of other characteristics within
the Central System. Some of the main features of the inventory system
in GlassShop Central include:
- the option to track inventory by serial number, lot number, Unit
of Measure, or to simply maintain quantities,
- the ability to track inventory by manufacturer or brand name (a
must in today's multiple tier, OEM / non-OEM options),
- the ability to apply a part note directly on the lot or serial
number,
- warehouse management by two-dimensions,
- purchase order creation, and
- many easy to use functions designed for non-exper users.
Integration Features
GlassShop Central is a stand-alone program, though it operates on
the Small Business Financials & Great Plains platform. We have
programmed GlassShop Central in Dexterity, the same language used
in Small Business Financials & Great Plains, giving use tremendous
advantages when developing systems such as ours. We recommend and
integrate with the following modules in Small Business Financials
& Great Plains:
- Invoicing (SOP),
- Inventory and Purchasing,
- A/R, and, of course,
- GL.
Customer Success Story
"The software was cost-effective
for our glass business. We were able to start with the modules we
needed-general ledger, accounts receivables, inventory, purchasing
and banking-with out paying for things we didn't want or need. The
support is exceptional. We get fast turnaround on service calls, and
the expertise of a trained Microsoft partner to consult on our software.
We have the data we need, its integrity
is secure, and our support is everything we could ask for. I love
GlassShop."

The system will grow with you
It is our goal to change our systems to fit your needs. You are successful,
and one of the reasons why you are successful is because you have
been able to change as the glass industry changes. New opportunities
will arise and we can work rapidly in order to meet your needs, and
build onto the system in a way that we may have considered far-fetched
only a few month's ago. We believe that we will only be successful
if you succeed. Call us for a demo today. We'd be happy to talk with
you, and can give some of our customers a ring and see how they like
the system.
