    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." Satisfied customer in Florida

    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.
