Efficient Warehouse and Distribution with Jim2® Business Engine

The advanced technology developed for stock control sets Jim2® Business Engine apart from ordinary accounting packages and makes Jim2® a true Business Application for your Warehouse and Distribution business.

As an Import Export business or Distributor, one of your most labour intensive tasks is not only receiving, but pushing your pricing, descriptions, images and stock availability out to all your customers on a regular basis. Happen Business has developed our flagship product, Jim2® Business Engine, to now send and receive price and data information from businesses just like yours... automatically.

 

You can now send your pricelists electronically to your Customers through Jim2® Business Engine – hourly, daily, weekly or on-demand.

Not only that, Jim2® eBusiness is a two-way street. Your customers can also order electronically with you, straight from their Accounting Software (Jim2®). Your customers can turn a Quote into an Order in seconds. That means an order in your hands sooner, and money in your pocket faster.


Automating your pricelist delivery and ordering facility for your customers has many benefits to your distribution business:

  • More sales by making it easier for your customers to buy from you
  • Reduction in costs on customer service reps
  • Making it faster for your customers to quote and sell your products
  • Improved customer service by feeding the most current prices directly into your customers' accounting system
As a Distributor, you can spend more time chasing new customers instead of endlessly sending out pricelists and quoting over the phone.

The Advanced Warehouse Management feature will give you the tools needed to ensure you are better equipped to increase warehouse efficiencies, cut down on costs and improve customer satisfaction.

Gain control of your warehouse, deliver better customer service and keep labour costs under control with Advanced Warehouse Management. Set up or re-design your warehouse layout with ease, according to your business needs and see what is really happening with a visual look into your warehouse. Jim2® Business Engine Advanced Warehouse Management gives you the tools to ensure you are better equipped to increase warehouse efficiencies, cut down on costs and improve customer satisfaction.

Live, FIFO Stock Control

  • The concepts that your stock should not only include normal inventory but also labour, tests and checks ensures the real costs of inputs are able to be on-charged to your customers – accurately and consistently.
  • Jim2® can calculate stock quantity and pricing 'on the fly' using information from stock measures, stock locations, stock transfers, returns from customers, returns to vendors, purchase order and manufacturing job status, pre-defined selling price levels and ‘specific customer’ pricing.
  • Jim2® will prompt users to create backorders or auto backfill on part receipt/supply of Stock on Jobs and Purchases.
  • Live Stock Profit reporting by Stock, Account Manager or Sales Person, Customer, GL Group – filtered by any combination of product and customer grouping, sales and servicing, stock location, supplier, kitted product by ‘kit’ or ‘content’, filtering by date range – even filtering by margin!
  • Only one Stock record is required to identify a product. Jim2® handles multiple Vendor codes, and preferred vendor rankings.

Inward Goods Landed Costing

  • Purchases can be 'received' into stock-on-hand count and sold, then 'finished' on receipt of ‘actual’ vendor invoice. Jim2® will calculate an estimate COGS on receipt of stock for profit reporting, and automatically journal the adjusted profit calculation when the purchase cost is finalised.
  • Link separate Expense Orders (duty, freight) directly to a Purchase Order to effect ‘cost of goods’
