  Tip

Some enquiries cannot be quoted because of various reasons such as Out of product range, Out of capacity, Cannot meet deadlines etc. In OurSys there is a master to enter these reasons and then tag the reason to enquiry whenever the enquiry is regretted (Not Quoted). You must then see the "Enquiry Regret Reason wise Analysis" report under MIS to analyse which kind of demand we have been regretting. This can help in deciding capacity expansions and new product development.

 

  Did you know?

Did you know that you can set business targets customer wise and add further breakup in terms of Sales Categories in OurSys. You can then analyse your actual sales versus the set targets.

  Best Practice

You must lock the access of OurSys to only your locations using the OurSys IP lock. This feature ensures that users cannot access your precious data from outside your offices and factories.

Accounting Best Practices in OurSys

Poor configuration, lax data discipline, or siloed practices can lead to errors, delays, and compliance nightmares.

  Case Study

POS Invoicing

Customer Introduction:

This customer is both into B2B as well as B2C, that is retail sales.

Problem / Goal:

In retail sales, the products are sold over the counter and there is no need and no time for entering a Sales Order. In OurSys, it was mandatory to create a Sales Order in order to raise an Invoice. This made the process time consuming and impractical for retail business.

The Solution:

We developed a feature to raise invoices directly without Sales order. It is called Point-of-Sale (POS) Invoice in OurSys.

The Result / Benefits:

This has made OurSys compatible with retail business as well. These customers are now able to take full benefit of OurSys.
