TECHNICAL ESTIMATING OF METALWORKING INDUSTRY
Small and medium enterprises form the basis of the metalworking industry. This industry consists of workshops and component manufacturers using various manufacturing processes. In some cases, these companies are experts in particular processes. The metalworking sector often uses an interrupted production process, piece by piece. The production of large parts requires greater attention to the management of time and costs.

Sometimes the production of parts is quite extensive, during the transformation process performed by various people and machines as well as mismanagement of machinery and manpower the cost of the product can increase.



TECHNICAL ESTIMATING OF TEXTILE INDUSTRY
Textile industry is the sector of the economy devoted to the production of clothing, fabrics, yarn, fiber and other related products. Although from the technical point of view is a different sector, SISTRADE considers the footwear industry as part of this sector.

Textiles are products of mass consumption that are sold in large quantities and therefore represent a significant weight in the global economy, generating a large amount of direct and indirect jobs. At the same time it is a highly competitive sector dominated by the need to produce well and cheaply. Hence the use of advanced management and production control is increasingly important for textile companies.

For Textile Industry SISTRADE guarantees an advanced technological solution that effectively responds to a specific sector and at the same time presents a team with skills and experience to implement a business management project in an effective manner, i.e. reaching the customer's objectives for this project, and efficiently, i.e. in the shortest time and using only the resources needed for the project costs that are the lowest for our Customer.

Typically it is an area that uses technology solutions to automate the process of filling, cleaning, CIP (cleaning in place), washing, although it is lacking in the use of control and supervision system of the entire industrial park, or even in the implementation processes that optimize the logistics process. SISTRADE is committed to addressing these needs, focusing on providing solutions that respond excellently to the growing demand for increasing quality and productivity, reducing costs and environmental suitability of the food industry.


TECHNICAL ESTIMATING OF PLASTIC EXTRUSION
The extrusion is undoubtedly a complex process that requires advanced technology in terms of machinery and naturally, supported by an information system with data acquisition makes production more efficient and of higher quality.

Since we consider that the extrusion industry has greater importance when associated with the processing of plastic, we directed our efforts towards the development of tools and technological solutions that would add value in this sector. There are various methods of extrusion, however, we concentrate on blown film, cast processes.

The extrusion process consists in material pressure through barrel, in order to give the material the same cross-section as the one of the barrel.

SISTRADE presents its innovations for yet another market, providing new integrated solutions for producers of cables and suppliers of transmission and distribution of electricity.

SISTRADE developed specific solutions for this sector in order to manage and control the production of cables. The system is prepared to work with insulated cables (low, medium and high voltage), including underground and submarine cables; bare aerial conductors; aluminium or copper cables; and other types of cables.

 

 

The SISTRADE solution for commercial management is not a traditional software business management, but an integrated system of management support that includes a variety of tools related to production management, supply management, financial management and even customer relationship management, by that means converging to good management, adding, connecting and complementing all the information. The accounting information is automatically associated to business and financial information of production and logistics is associated to business, information which allows the customer to make economic and financial analysis (all the movements are mirrored in the accounts).

MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
:: Offer/Estimate management;
:: Dynamic price list;
:: Order management;
:: Multiple delivery plans by order;
:: Multiple delivery addresses;
:: Invoicing to an entity which is not one in the order;
:: Customer invoicing management;
:: Treatment of commission agents;
:: Treatment of sales commission;
:: Functionality of sending direct email, with message file in database;
:: Ability to attach files, such as the customer order;
:: Shipping management and control;
:: Issue assisted by delivery.


PRICE LIST
The management of price lists is a useful feature for companies that work with product catalog, it allows to generate multiple views relating the articles provided for the customer. Setting of a price list is based on defining the rules of pricing, where, for each sub-family, the user defines features of the article that influence the price. Thereafter, specific prices per customer or market prices for generics can be set. Thus, when issuing an order confirmation, the system automatically gathers the information that is defined in the price list.

MANAGEMENT OFFERS
From a broader perspective of marketing communication with customers and for the customers who request quotations for various products, the reception of multiple estimates becomes difficult. In this sense, the management offers module, which allows grouping a set of estimates in one document, was issued; it enabled the communication with the client to be referenced only by that entity/document. The management offers allows each of the selected estimates set the currency and unit to send the offer. The rates for the various estimates are grouped and may be sent in a letter with the outcome of the overall offer. The submission of the offer could be also followed by an automatic email. It is possible to set a delivery schedule for each line, phased in time and destination. This definition will later be used by the logistics module to support the dispatch of the material.





ORDERS
The orders module includes features related to the orders management, allowing the retrieval of the list of orders per status (pending, confirmed, approved for production, etc.), per agent, per salesperson, and to elaborate charts with sales analysis per product type, country or agent. The orders through the third party control the credit limit and associated limit, and where the ceiling is exceeded, the order cannot be approved for production until it is validated financially. Several types of costs can be associated in each order row (agent commissions, shipping costs) and still several types of discounts (up to 3 commercial discounts levels). Like in the estimate, the order is issued in the customer’s language and currency. For each line it is possible to set a plan for deliveries, phased in time and destination. This definition will be later used by the logistics module, to support the dispatch of material.





ORDER WORKFLOW
With the workflow system for order approval it is possible to check every step of the order since its registration. There is also a reporting system where one can set alerts whenever a document changes state.

INVOICING
SISTRADE provides an invoicing module that allows a company to prepare and print invoices and sales charts. Apart from invoicing, the user can create pro-forma invoices, credit notes and debit cards, among other documents. The application makes a summary of the bill where it is possible to make some adjustments regarding the final value.

Using the feature of tracking documents, the user can control the documents generated by the sales module (estimates, orders, delivery notes, JOs, invoices, etc.) and view the list of JOs, customer’s orders or quotations.

This module enables defining an invoice plan, where one can add at once several invoices that may come from different orders or job orders from the same entity. The process is to select which orders one wants to charge and the system creates and sends invoices without human intervention.

The daily sales feature allows getting all the issued business documents with or without VAT. Through the application it is possible to control all the jobs shipped and invoiced. The system allows sending electronic invoices through EDI, thus assuring that the documents are legal.

If necessary, SISTRADE has Electronic Invoicing solutions according to the legal terms. Sistrade®solution allows the issuing entity of the electronic invoice:
:: Issue the invoice;
:: Calculate the invoice electronic summary;
:: Encrypt the invoice summary with the Advanced Electronic Signature keys;
:: Send the Electronic Invoice;
:: Archive the electronic document, generating the respective indexing (with data demanded by the law) for later issuing of a periodic list of all the issued electronic invoices during a required period.

The solution allows the receiving entity to:
:: Decrypt the summary;
:: Calculate a new summary over the received invoice;
:: Compare both summaries to validate with received invoice;
:: Convert and integrate the received invoice data to the existing accounting system format.
