Features of ERP Software System & Inventory Management

Easy Order Processing

N41 features easy order processing. In one screen you can see the entire list of customers.  You can highlight a customer to find out their open orders, what is ready to ship, and what’s on the pick ticket. Gone are the days of having to dig around in 4 different places to find the information you need. With our innovative interface you can find all the information you need to process the order in one complete hub. 

Eliminate “Packed & Declined Boxes” with built-in Credit Card processing

Prior to N41, many boxes would pile up and be set aside due to a declined credit card at the final step. There are many stages that occur before getting into this situation.  Items must be picked and packed, boxed with UPS labels, compile a freight ready invoice and more… only to come to a halt due to a declined credit card issue.  Now you are forced to void out the invoice and shipping labels, while the stacked boxes sit and wait for an uncertain future.  The extra layers of manual processing and labor inevitably expends more of your time and resources.  This is a costly and painful situation many apparel companies face.  N41 seeks to cut the fat off this excess and give back your resources with one easy click. 

With N41, we’ve revolutionized and eliminated those towering cartons of ghost stock with our built-in integrated credit card processing component. No more wasting time and resources preparing shipments that couldn’t be charged and shipped. This will help give you back up to 30% of your workforce to the warehouse as workers are not preparing orders with bad credit cards.  

Since the N41 revolution, credit card issues are identified at the frontline stage before boxes are packed. In the event there is a pre-authorization failure, the issue is resolved at the customer service level before proceeding.  This streamlines the process, maximizes your efficiency and eliminates ‘Packed and Declined Boxes.’ 

Integrated UPS API and Automated Invoice Process

N41 automates the invoice process to make shipping even faster and easier. One click is all it takes to get your invoice processed and sent with UPS.  Gone are the days of long and drawn out manually-created invoices, payments, applying payments, and printing invoices. 

This one click will talks to UPS online, get the freight and tracking numbers, print UPS labels, create the invoice with the freight and tracking number, charge the customer’s pre-authorized credit card, create and apply payments, and print/email paid invoices.  

This automates the entire process in seconds. Just imagine what possibilities are left with all the time saved by N41!  

Get automated!  No more unnecessary manual entry.  N41…truly REVOLUTIONARY!
