What an Order Processing System Requires

Your mail or internet order business, most especially if it is a seasonal business, requires the ability to ...

  • hold orders and messages to be dispatched on a specific date as requested
  • import order data from the internet if you have an online shop
  • create/manufacture/cook/grow/process your product to order
  • keep your customers informed of problems/irregularities
  • control the flow of products, to know exactly what is required and when
  • manage your stock and catalogue items effectively
  • hold payments in batches until the goods are ready to be sent out, and then
  • action the payments at the appropriate time
  • pass on to your carrier details about the parcels being dispatched
  • track the entire process from receipt of order to delivery of goods
  • inform your accounting software of monies received

TOPS Order Processing System meets all these requirements in one user-friendly programme.
