FocalPoints has constantly been improved and updated to adjust to the CL industry needs and necessities. The invoicing needs of a Specialty Lens Lab can be quite challenging and FocalPoints has an unique set of features to tackle every situation: from Billing options to Credit/Debit notes, from Orders grouping to Shipping conditions, from Delivery bills to Carriers' integration.
The Shipping Room helps the Operator decide if finished orders are to be shipped immediately or need to wait for upcoming ones still in production. The Shipping Room can print the delivery documents and the related shipping labels. It can even log the tracking number on the shipping order. It is the ideal solution for optimizing orders, facilitating production, increasing efficiency and reducing shipping costs.
Billing information is automatically recalled from the centralised database thus reducing errors and speeding up the overall process. Invoices' layout can be customised with multiple formats and with the company logo in order to replicate as close as possible the existing company layout.
Invoicing is directly integrated with Ordering so information is never inserted twice. The system can deal with immediate billing, end-of-the-month billing and with buying groups, whereas a single invoice is sent to the buying group HQ. When issuing credit notes, the data from the original invoice can be recalled automatically. It can print the delivery documents and the related shipping labels. It can even log the tracking number on the shipping order.
While the needs of Lens manufacturers are very similar all over the world. Accounting practices are instead country specific. That is why we provide a custom export interface to the Lab's accounting software. In this way the Lab can fully benefit the seamless integration of FocalPoints and still use his preferred or current accounting setup. The Accounting Interface is custom developed for each client.
FocalPoints is capable of connecting and integrating with the software of the major Couriers such as Colissimo, FedEx, UPS, United States Postal Service, DX Delivery, Royal Mail.
