In this multi-part blog series (part 1, part 2), discover the critical role of ERP software in enhancing accuracy and efficiency when entering customer orders.
From 25 Minutes to 1 Minute Per Order (Here’s How)
Remember that distributor I mentioned in the last blog who was spending 25 minutes per order?
A few months later, they’re now processing orders in under a minute with zero data entry errors.
Here’s what changed everything: The WinFDS Order Processing Module.
Instead of juggling multiple systems, they now:
✅ Process, amend, and search all orders from ONE screen
No more switching between inventory sheets, customer databases, and pricing calculators.
✅ Get automatically-populated fields
Customer details, delivery schedule, customer pricing automatically connected to order.
✅ Search inventory in real-time
Know exactly what’s available, where it’s located, and when it expires before confirming any order.
✅ Track everything automatically
Complete order history, amendments, and customer interactions – all recorded without extra work.
The Food Distributor’s Operations Manager Told Me :
“The first time I processed an order in WinFDS, I thought something was wrong because it was too easy! Now my team handles 3x more orders in the same time, and our accuracy rate is 99.8%.”
But Here’s What Impressed Me Most:
When they received a late order for 300 cases during their busiest Friday afternoon, they processed it in 1 minute flat—including inventory verification, allergen cross-checks, and delivery scheduling.
No stress. No errors. Happy customer.
That’s the power of having your order processing truly integrated into your food & beverage ERP system.
Next, we’ll show you exactly how one of our customers cut their order processing time by 80% while eliminating their inventory discrepancies completely.
You’ll see the actual before and after workflow.
