CRM & Quoting
Manage every aspect of your customer relationship from prospect to customer, quote, job and order tracking, invoice and payment history to activity log for emails, calls, meetings, etc. The customer database tracks multiple contacts and delivery addresses, head office billing information, job and invoicing
Custom Products
This is a simple question and answer interface to design, cost and price customer specific products and services. You create the rules for your configured products. Rules can be simple with features and options, through to complex dimensional rules based configurations. You can also define rules for calculating prices. Based on the answers to the questions at the quote or sales order entry stage, the system automatically generates and stores a unique design to make the product or service at a later time specifically for that customer eg BOM and routing.
Engineering & Production
Manufacturing incorporates making products to order or to stock from component items. You can choose the level of simplicity or complexity that you wish to use. This ranges from an assembly order with no details, through using simple Bills of Material, or simple routing, to full use of combined BOM, routing and resources with cost rollups. Orders can be generated on the fly, source on demand, from a prescheduled planned order, or as a configured custom product. BOMs include setup, scrap percentage, can be as many levels deep as required and include component items, descriptors, and labour.
Inventory and Purchasing
Inventory includes stock controlled items (raw materials and finished goods) such as source on demand products, custom made products and assemblies. Non stock items that are not stock controlled are called descriptors and supplier catalogues. Stock can be recorded and transferred against multiple warehouses and multiple locations. Stock takes can be organised by these or by product or category. The stock item code field is 50 characters long with a 100 character further description field. Extensive notes, images, documents, history and warranties can be linked to each item along with revision level, multiple stocking units of measure, serial number, batch or lot number, grade, colour, size, expiry date, barcode, manufacturer's name, brand, model and unlimited user definable properties.
Job Costing and Projects
Job costing is Ostendo's strength, from simple to complex job estimating and quoting, to work in progress tracking at all levels, to after job costing and actual job profit reporting. Cost methods include standard, average, actual, last, buy price, or calculated cost. These are used in the jobs and projects to provide detailed and accurate budgeted planned, actual and projected costs at the various task, job, and project hierarchy levels.
Labour & Job Tracking
Job sheets, job lists and timesheets assist the job planning and reporting process. The business work time profile defines the available hours for scheduling purposes. A graphical job scheduling calendar allows you to track your labour resources. This drag and drop scheduling tool provides you with instant visibility of your resources and tasks including labour resources allocated to non chargeable work. Ostendo supports varying labour charge out rates by customer and varying employee actual labour or direct costs linked to one labour code.
