1. Easy Order Creation with Built-In Flexibility
Creating a new order in AltheaSuite starts with just a few clicks. You select your location, choose a customer, and begin adding products. What sets AltheaSuite apart is its flexibility. Each product line on an order can:
- Pull from a different warehouse if needed
- Include optional add-ons or warranty plans
- Use the billing address or an alternate shipping address
Why this matters for retailers:
This flexibility means you can handle everything from simple walk-in sales to complex online or multi-location orders—without needing to juggle multiple systems or spreadsheets.
2. Real-Time Inventory Visibility
As you build an order, AltheaSuite automatically shows:
- Available stock
- Items already on other orders
- Quantity shortages
Plus, you can see what’s available in each warehouse, and even trigger a stock transfer if needed.
Retailer benefit:
No more guesswork or customer disappointment due to out-of-stock items. Your team can confidently promise what’s in stock and proactively manage what’s not.
3. Streamlined Deposit Collection
AltheaSuite simplifies payment handling with a built-in deposit feature. You can collect partial or full payments up front using various methods (card, cash, check) and record important details like check numbers.
Retailer benefit:
Get commitment from customers while securing revenue upfront. It also reduces the risk of abandoned orders or uncollected payments.
4. Smart Serial Number Tracking
If you sell serialized products (like appliances or electronics), AltheaSuite makes tracking easy. You can:
- Assign serial numbers later in the process
- View which serials are available or already committed
- Match serial numbers to the right warehouse and order
Retailer benefit:
Fewer mix-ups and better accuracy. This ensures you deliver the right product, helps with returns, and keeps inventory records clean.
5. Visual Order Status and Delivery Scheduling
Once your order is built, AltheaSuite uses color-coded status indicators to show you what’s ready for delivery and what still needs attention. You can quickly:
- See what’s in stock (green = ready)
- Spot mismatches between warehouse and product (red = issue)
- Add orders to your delivery calendar or trip schedule
Retailer benefit:
These visual cues help staff prioritize tasks, reduce delays, and make sure customers receive their items on time.
6. Efficient Workflow from Start to Finish
Whether it’s assigning serial numbers, adjusting stock sources, or scheduling deliveries, AltheaSuite keeps your team moving with fewer clicks and less confusion. Every action is traceable and integrated, so nothing falls through the cracks.
Retailer benefit:
Save time, reduce training effort for new staff, and scale up your order volume without needing to hire more people or add more software tools.
