Inventory Master is the latest and most advanced computer suggested order point
software application available for small to moderately sized hardline retailers.
Imagine the ease of having accurate order points calculated and ready to go any
day of the week. Imagine having the confidence in your computer suggested ordering
program to let it manage your order points all year round with little to no effort
on your part. Imagine having the items your customers want when they want them without
having to predict the future yourself. Imagine watching your profits grow as more
of your money is invested in the right inventory.
Now with Inventory Master you don't have to imagine it anymore. An easy to use software
application, Inventory Master learns about your store and your customers by directly
accessing the information already stored on the Activant Eagle® server. Using
the information, which it updates nightly, and the most advanced computational methods
available the program analyses each item's history and current trends in your store
to assign it an order point. Inventory Master then takes all of the newly created
order points and automatically inserts them back onto the server. All that's left
for you to do is send your order!
What is Inventory Master?
Inventory Master is an order point management software solution. Large retail organizations
and outlets benefit form computer systems, IT departments, and in depth training
for managers. These advantages help them run efficiently. Inventory Master helps
increase your competitiveness by giving you a similar computer suggested ordering
tool at a fraction of the cost. The program allows the user to select whole store
strategies for simple implementation and it also allows them to specify strategies
by vendor, department, location, sku, or any combination thereof for limitless sophistication.
Inventory Master automates the process of generating order points so that you can
safely spend your time and attention on helping your customers, training your staff,
or just sitting back.
Why do I need Inventory Master?
Inventory Master frees up the money you have tied up in unnecessary overstock to
be reinvested in your business. Unsold items on your shelf represent money you aren’t
earning. That money is tied up in a product that often times may not even sell this
year, let alone before your next order. Predicting the products you are going to
need in your store isn’t easy. Managers with years of experience have a leg
up on others, but even the most observant employees, managers, and owners, can’t
track the sales patterns of every item in stock. Inventory Master finds those patterns
for you. Sales histories and current trends allow the program to set accurate order
points for all of the items you sell. With Inventory Master, you don’t have
to worry about running out of popular or seasonal items. Your customers can count
on you having the products they need when they need them.
Who is ready for Inventory Master?
Inventory Master works for users who understand the value of accurate recordkeeping.
Accurate inventory, sales histories, and an organized database need to be part of
your stores in order to take advantage of Inventory Master. We are looking for customers
who are ready to make the most out of the data they collect about their stores.
If you have made sure that all of the items you sell are accurately inventoried,
have order points or locations, and your employees consistently enter accurate point
of sale information then you are ready to run Inventory Master in your retail establishment.

How does Inventory Master Work?
Right now Inventory Master supports users of the Activant Eagle system. Upon installation
of the program the user is asked to enter in his or her login and password for the
server so that Inventory Master can access the files containing your store or stores’
information directly. The program will load all of your vendors, departments, locations,
and sku history. You even have the option of importing any settings you have already
selected from the Eagle system.
Inventory Master will start off calculating order points for you based on the 26
months of sales history stored for you on the Activant Eagle server. Each item you
have given an order point or location to in your store will have its records analyzed
and then Inventory Master will use the overall strategy you have chosen to assign
the item an optimized order point. No input is required from you and you don’t
have to worry about updating the program or the system files because Inventory Master
will automatically enter your new order points into the Activant Eagle server on
a daily basis. As new information is added each day Inventory Master will be able
to monitor changes in your store and trends in sales that allow it to anticipate
changes that need to be made in quantities on hand, saving you the effort of changing
those order points yourself.
The most accurate and up to date order points will be ready for you whenever you’re
ready to run your RSO and generate an order.
