Vendor Invoicing - Innovative Market Vendor Invoicing Solution

The Sapphire Web Pack Market Vendor Invoicing functionality is uniquely designed to help both the market stand operator and the growers to have a seamless interface. So in real time the stand owner or the sales rep that looks after that particular grower at any time can see the quantity and value of the produce that has been sold so far and what’s remaining to be sold.

This is very unique in this particular industry where there is no set by price until after a 14 day period has completed, and then there will be a final price determined and agreed upon that the market stand owner will pay to the grower. Sapphire Web Pack Market Vendor Invoicing is designed to make it as seamless and its integrated as possible for the sales person to keep their growers informed at every step of the way on how they produce is tracking.

As an example, specifically within the fruit and vegetable industry, the industry works to a 14 day time frame from when the goods are received to when the grower is notified of what they will pay for the produce. The Salesperson can click into that individual purchase, and it will show how many they have sold and what the cost will be to pay the grower. 

Sapphire Web Pack Market Vendor Invoicing will automatically pick up the last cost price of the inventory, as well as providing the functionality for the grower to change the price on individual lines. Vendor Invoicing allows for adjustments to change in fluid and dynamic market environments, in which prices fluctuate constantly for a multitude of reasons. For example, reduction in price due to damaged stock, an increase in price due to stock shortages, supply chain issues, etc.

    • Blue for No Transactions
    • Yellow for Order Vendor Invoice’s (Orders) that have not been Goods received (Arrived)
    • Green for Waiting to be finalised (Priced)
    • Light blue for Finalised (Priced and processed to a Purchase Vendor Invoice (PVI))

Dictation and Speech to Text Overview

SapphireOne’s Dictation (MacOS) and Speech to Text (Windows) functionalities revolutionise data entry. These features are available for any data entry field and all inquiry screens within SapphireOne. For instance, when a user makes a call via the SapphireOne Softphone, SapphireOne automatically timestamps the contact and phone number. Post-call, users can dictate notes directly into the CRM contact memo field in relation to the stamp.

This functionality is applicable across all Data Entry screens. As examples, when entering a Vendor Invoice (VI), users can dictate memos directly. Similarly, additional lines can be added to the General Ledger account, with each line having a unique memo field. After an employee interview, users can efficiently dictate notes.

Speech to Text and Dictation are powerful tools that SapphireOne and its clients use daily, significantly saving time.
