Balancing Ledgers with ERP Software

You have great accountants and good software, but, despite your best efforts, your general ledgers have become unbalanced. All of a sudden, your team of accountants is scrambling to correct the error — and your current business software is doing nothing to help identify the source of the unbalance.

Your financial accounting software needs to recognize and treat the problems that arise from unbalanced ledgers. The SMB Suite GP Financials tool recognizes and reconciles errors in financial accounting. It compiles inventory, accounts payable, accounts receivable and bank accounts for the most comprehensive reconciliation procedure of any business software on the market.

Learn more about how SMB Suite’s Financial Foundation Subscription allows you to reconcile general ledger errors within one simple interface, and without the need for manual processing.

ERP Software To Enhance Productivity

Everyone interacts with business software differently. To streamline processes, each user should be given the opportunity to customize his or her own interface to highlight the details and tasks most relevant to his or her job.

Configuring your dashboard is easy with SMB Suite. A CFO creates a dashboard that focuses on the overall financial accounting aspects of the business, while a non-managerial employee highlights his or her own tasks and deadlines.

Inventory Management To Handle Discrepancies

Controlling inventory is one of the biggest challenges associated with every wholesale distribution company’s daily operations. Discrepancies between your purchase order totals and the items themselves create complications, which cost you time and money to rectify.

The Wholesale & Distribution Package by SMB Suite features Purchase Order Tolerance, which allows you to set limits for overages and shortages in your inventory. It’s a flexible inventory management system that accommodates item-specific requests while promoting efficiency and consistency across all platforms.

ERP Software To Manage Fixed Assets

You know the tax benefits for the fixed assets you purchase for the operation of your business throughout the year. But, when tax time rolls around, it’s not as easy to locate that information and use it to get the most out of these depreciating assets. You need a comprehensive business software solution that compiles all this information in one place.

The Financials Advanced Package by SMB Suite allows you to add and maintain fixed assets in one easy-to-use tool, but it also helps you track those assets in your different tax ledgers and compare the data. This full suite manages all your fixed assets in one place so you’re never navigating between multiple programs to get the information you need.

Inventory Management Software To Handle Damages

Accidents happen, and sometimes your inventory is damaged. Regardless of whether the damage occurred in your warehouse or whether you received damaged items, you need to replace the items so your wholesale distribution warehouse is stocked with acceptable, ready-to-ship inventory.

SMB Suite’s Wholesale & Distribution tool enables you to seamlessly check the quality of incoming inventory and monitor its continued quality straight through to fulfillment. But that’s only part of the solution. Because it’s a fully integrated system, you’re able to create real-time inventory updates to keep track of damaged goods and the reason codes associated with them.

Cloud ERP For Easy Access, Anywhere

Business software that’s easily navigable on your desktop is not always as easy to use in other platforms. You shouldn’t be relegated to working from a specific location to access in-depth reporting, but you also shouldn’t need to undergo a whole separate training course just to use a mobile or web version of your financial accounting tool.

The Financials module by SMB Suite is consistent, regardless of from where you’re accessing it. The web client is almost indistinguishable from the desktop client, both in appearance and functionality. Anything you need to do on the desktop tool, you’ll just as easily be able to do through the web client, and vice versa.
