EDI & Managed EDI

Given that Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is essential for retailers and suppliers, Apprise ERP offers both integrated EDI and managed EDI services depending upon your exact needs.

Demand Planning

Apprise DRP tools integrate point-of-sale data, customer forecasts, historical sales trends, seasonality, supplier lead times and more to help you optimize purchasing decisions.

Warehouse Management

Warehouse Management tools allow for improved management of inventory, including receiving, picking, and putaway of goods.

Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) Shipping

Apprise ERP includes features to make DTC shipping processes easier and more efficient. Apprise Shipment Manager supports seamless integrations with all the major carriers (UPS, FedEx, USPS, etc.) and offers integrated shipping rate shopping as well as SmartyStreets address verification.

Import Management

Import Management features help you achieve perfect order fulfillment to get your customers the right products at the right time. Shipment, vessel and container tracking, and management tools provide the visibility you need into incoming inventory. And the system automatically tracks and calculates your landed costs so you understand your true profitability.

Chargeback Management

Apprise ERP helps enterprises manage chargebacks—the fees that retailers charge to suppliers, often due to errors. Through improved tracking and better maintaining related records, customers can reduce the number of chargebacks they incur and recover erroneous charges.

Logistics

With shipping tools—including route management, dynamic routing, BOLS (bill of lading) & packing slips—Apprise will allow consumer goods importers and distributors to bring a new level of organization and oversight to their operations.

PLM (Product Lifecycle Management)

Dynamic tools built into Apprise ERP give users visibility over a product’s entire lifecycle, from development and production to sales performance and beyond.

Supplier Production Monitoring (SPM) and Supplier Portal

Integrated Supplier Production Monitoring and Supplier Portal features offer improved visibility into overseas manufacturing facilities, including inspections, quality control, production dates, shipping schedules and other supply-side information.

Financials & Accounting

Apprise ERP brings simplicity to the bottom line when used as the primary general ledger and accounting tool for accounts payable and receivable.

Analytics & Reporting

Apprise ERP provides powerful business intelligence in the form of profitability, financial data, sales figures, operational reports, and compliance reporting.

Cloud or On-Premise

For greater flexibility, Apprise can be deployed either in the cloud or on-premise. Both options are made easy by Aptean’s team that helps streamline implementation.
