Mercantile

CalWin Mercantile consists of a collection of modules that simplify administrative and commercial routines and make them more efficient. The various modules use data that has already been registered in CalWin or generated by it, so that invoicing and transfer to the accounts happens in a controlled and automated way.

CalWin gives you maximum oversight and control. All information is easily accessible in the form of statistics and summaries, generally designed according to your wishes. All deliveries are invoiced directly in CalWin, using ordinary invoices, EDI invoices or email-invoices. All documents that are generated in CalWin Mercantile are saved with a link to a customer, project or contact so that the requirements for easy retrieval and subsequent re-use are met in full.

The functions in CalWin Mercantile mean that the need for a large and heavyweight accounting system falls away, as there are only simple accounting and subsidiary ledger functions that are not supported in CalWin. Customer balances are exchanged with the accounting system and credit limits are monitored in CalWin. Deviations can be registered in the DEVIATION MANAGEMENT module, whether they arise in administration, production or during shipping. Charting and systemizing the reason and circumstances contributes to reducing the number of deviations and consequently to quicker and more dependable handling of all processes in the company.

CalWin Mercantile ensures you have oversight and control!
