ASIM: A Sales And Inventory Management System (Feature)

Developed by Olivine Technology, ASIM helps retail businesses solve their biggest headache;integrating the sales and inventory management systems. It is an end to end solution, which tracks your inventory, from the time it’s delivered to your stores, to the point where it’s sold.

What makes ASIM better than off the shelf sales and inventory management solutions?

1. Versatility: When you choose to buy an off the shelf solution, you can only do as much as the original creator designed the software to do. In this case, Olivine Technology can easily customise ASIM to suit your business, and to integrate with your existing accounting system. This system is versatile and has been used in different types of businesses.

2.Mobility:  ASIM has a mobile version which enables sales people who are mobile (e.g beverage distributors) record their sales and issue receipts on the go. The mobile app then synchronises automatically with the central system, via the internet. This not only ensures convenience, but prevents revenue leakages through fraud.

3.Ability to work on offline mode: Unlike most web based systems which only work when there’s an active internet connection, ASIM works on offline mode too, and synchronises when the user has internet access. This means the user doesn’t have to be connected all the time, significantly saving internet costs.

4. Back Up: Olivine offers back up services on the cloud, Google App engine and Windows Azure, which ensures that the client’s data is safe at all times. A life saver for most SMEs as they consider back up an unnecessary headache, until they lose all their data.

Having ASIM in your organizations gives you the following advantages:

• The sales and inventory management solution helps your company seal revenue leakages and losses which are common in most retail outlets that cannot track their stocks.
• ASIM makes it easy for the business owner to process data, through their customised reports. In addition to this, your sales people are able to generate LPOs, receipts and order more goods, all on the move.

• ASIM prevents revenue losses caused by pricing mistakes made by sales people. For example, in a beer distributing business, you find prices increase each time the budget is read. A main complaint for these businesses is that it takes their sales people some time to be acquainted with the new prices and sell products at a loss. With ASIM, if price changes occur, you’re able to effect this immediately, and it reflects in all user stations.

In a market where most locally developed entreprise solutions don’t see the light of day, Olivine Technology are doing a fantastic job.
