- Sales & Service Analytics: Develop reporting and dashboards for bookings, backlog, order securement, pricing performance, and threats to on-time and complete customer shipments.
Finance & Accounting
- Accounts Receivable, Credit & Collections: Support invoicing, cash application, credit management, and collections workflows using standard ERP functionality, including bank file imports to reduce manual entry.
- Accounts Payable: Support vendor invoice processing, three-way match, payments, and vendor file imports. Partner with Purchasing and Manufacturing on special scenarios such as consignment inventory.
