The SWS solution is designed to improve productivity and cash flow while reducing labor costs and waste.
InventoryThe SWS Inventory module, in conjunction with the Stratton Warren System solution, keeps a perpetual inventory so that you have a current accounting of items in stock and items that need to be reordered. This module allows you to identify dead stock quickly and reduce inventory carrying costs. Automatic ordering replenishes items based on schedules and/or par levels.
The SWS Inventory module also provides general ledger updates of all transactions as well as Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) based on inventory usage. An online review of suggested stock replenishment keeps staff updated around the clock.
PurchasingThe SWS Purchasing module works with the Stratton Warren System solution to fully automate the entire procurement cycle, from sourcing through invoicing. The module supports all purchasing-related documents, including purchase requisitions, purchase orders, blanket orders, standing purchase orders, receiving documentation and vendor invoices. Its distinctive features allow the purchase of capital, equipment, food & beverage and retail to be processed within a single system.
The SWS Purchasing module can be interfaced to accounting and general ledger packages for account validation and automatic processing. The module automatically assigns account numbers, taxes and discounts and notifies buyers of vendor shorts and price variances. Full approval routing and variance functionality complement this made-for-hospitality module.
Bar CodingThe SWS Bar Coding module works with the Stratton Warren System solution to provide wireless data collection of physical inventory. The module allows you to scan inventory using the system SKU or UPC code on each item.
