Kernel Software has one of the most comprehensive Sales Ledgers on the market.

It allows you to create a quotation and move it through all of the stages necessary to invoice it, including the order and despatch stage.

Pricing and stock control are also important and both are very comprehensive in Kernel Software, with full reporting, both system and custom, to back them up.

Customers

Kernel Software has complete customer details available to you at the click of a button.

Kernel provides consistent and and readily available information on customers, and empowers your staff by enabling rapid access to key information.

The customer view allows you to not only see all the transactions for each customer, but also to drill down into each transaction and see the lines behind each invoice, or the allocations against it. Any transactions can be reprinted easily from this screen. All of the customers special prices can be easily seen, and if they have multiple addresses, they are shown also.

Quotations

Quotations are an integral part of many businesses and Kernel Software has the ability to handle these with ease.

For a lot of businesses their sales start as quotations, these can be changed over and over until the customer has exactly what they require. With Kernel, you can constantly check that the items they require are in stock.

Upon confirmation of an order, stock can be allocated and a purchase order created for any specific item that is not in stock.

Ordering

Without sales orders businesses would simply not exist, but without an easy way to place and review orders many companies are leaving themselves open to losing out on business, Kernel Software makes sure that you have all the information that you need when you need it.

Easy tracking of sales orders placed allows for better stock management by allowing stock managers to see what's coming up. The items can be taken out of stock for that order and manufacturing can see what needs to be built in the coming days and weeks.

Despatching

Kernel Software affords you many options when despatching goods.

Some goods are despatched on their own, or a lot of orders may be despatched together in one van. Sometimes it may be important to make sure that the first delivery is loaded last, and what about those despatch dockets and labels for every box?

Whatever your specific despatching requirements you can be assured that Kernel Software can handle it.

Invoicing

Without regular Invoicing, cashflow dries up, Kernel Software has many facilities to aid in invoice and cash flow management.

Kernel Software allows you to easily create invoices and send them via email to save money and time.

Invoices can re reprinted at any stage, both individually and in batches.

However you wish to issue invoices, Kernel Software can accommodate it.

Pricing

Are you spending more time checking prices than selling?

Kernel software makes it easy to set up and maintain prices in many different ways.

Everyone charges their customers differently, different customers have different prices, groups of customers have different prices as do different product groups and then there are additional discounts, the list goes on.

Kernel Software has many pricing structures built in which can be used in conjunction with each other but all are easy to maintain and update.

Reporting

Kernel Software has many inbuilt reports to help you run your sales ledger more effectively.

Standard sales system reports include transactions audits in detail and summary format, VAT reports, nominal summary and detail, aged debt, unallocated transactions, debtors ledger and statements, and all of these have multiple selection criteria so that you can get at the exact information that you need easily and quickly. Stock reports build on that and give both sales and stock managers details on stock levels, valuations, pricing, movements and many more.

Again there are many criteria for selecting out these reports to get a more focused view of your business. All of the normal month end reports are grouped into one useful screen where they can be printed off in one batch, saving you time at the month end.
