Trading & distribution
The management software for trading and distribution.
From customer order to signed delivery. eKo works out what is left to buy, creates the supplier orders, updates stock on receipt and prepares the delivery notes, which your customers sign on the spot.

The customer order is confirmed. The Purchasing module lists on a single screen everything that has been neither delivered nor already ordered.
-
3
Back orders are grouped by supplier and become supplier orders in one click.
-
4
On receipt, the stock comes in, and eKo generates the delivery notes for the customers concerned.

The customer signs the delivery note on the driver's tablet or on a phone. The signature appears on the PDF.
