Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
There is perhaps no better way to save money, time and improve customer satisfaction than by deploying EDI with your manufacturers and customers. Our case study on the subject has shown savings as high as $300,000.00 annually with a single Agent Manufacturer EDI trading partnership.
We have integrated our EDI translator into iris making the agent EDI capable. To download the images below and for a more in-depth description of iris’ EDI capabilities click here.
Reduce your physical inventory time and improve accuracy by 80%
iris will help you maintain an accurate inventory and shorten the downtime normally associated with physical inventory by as much as 80% Our barcode capabilities allow you to scan stock into your warehouse making inventory available more quickly.
Month End Wizard
Closing the month can often be tedious and time consuming. To help the process we’ve developed our exclusive Month End Wizard which allows you to set it and forget it. Once the initial criteria is entered for a particular manufacturer the wizard will maintain the parameters as set and use them in all future month end closings.

Automated customer shipment notifications
Upon completion of an order your customers’ buyer will automatically receive an e-mail providing him full tracking information and a summary bill of materials. Carrier links are included so your customer can easily track his shipment directly from the e-mail. iris uses a simple boiler plate design giving you the freedom to build e-mail content that will both be informative and help your business grow. Whether you use the space to announce upcoming specials or a golf outing is entirely up to you. iris’ direct interface with UPS WorldShip® automates the entire UPS shipping process and loads tracking numbers, weights and measurements into your database.
Desktop Catalog
The iris Desktop Catalog gives its user a quick and accurate look at product detail including description, price, on-hand quantities and if an image of the product exists the user has the ability to click and be taken directly to that web site. This is perfect for cut sheets or to get additional product details as needed. To run the Desktop Catalog the user does not need to be running iris as this is a standalone application included with every iris installation.

Customizable Menu
iris allows each individual user to customize their own main menu by adding shortcut buttons so they can quickly navigate to programs they use frequently without leaving iris. Principals can post company wide messages regarding any subject, including product promotions, stock issues or general announcements. Your company logo can be added to help you individualize your iris installation. Important maintenance and user information is displayed and a WEB link input box is available for a quick connection to an internet site.
