5 Customer Satisfaction and Profitability Profits are important to business survival and growth. But unless accompanied by a satisfied customer base, profits are nothing but a short-term benefit. Earning high customer satisfaction while maximizing profitability requires a customer-driven strategy and careful supervision. PRODUCTS THAT MEET CUSTOMER EXPECTATIONS Tightly manage lot tracking using the flexible forward backward lot tracking built within Drink-IT. Use a single screen to quickly trace the origins of an ingredient and determine where specific lots were distributed. By not having to trace lots manually, you can save time and can react faster. MANAGE DISCOUNTS AND PROMOTIONS SUCCESSFULLY Reduce the cost and complexity of discounting programs and promotions. One-off, temporary or permanent discounts or promotions are often offered to buyers and end consumers. These can include both direct financial reductions and all kinds of free goods, gadgets and incentives. Tectura gives you the ability to track the results of your promotional activity AND have confidence you are accurately calculating all related aspects such as stock, taxes, empty bottles, invoicing and accounting.

6 Inventory Visibility and Manufacturing Efficiency Operational excellence is a primary goal for most manufacturers. As you do your utmost to reach productivity and efficiency, your ability to easily access accurate, detailed inventory information is critical. Drink-IT provides the capabilities you need to streamline manufacturing complexities and optimize inventory controls while maintaining full operational visibility.

7 Safety, Compliance and Quality The threats and potential costs associated with safety and regulatory compliance have never been higher. Tectura provides a comprehensive solution to help you manage and monitor your critical manufacturing processes, enabling all standard processes to be documented and tracked in order to support your most strict reporting requirements. TRACE LOTS ACCURATELY Respond thoroughly and quickly to regulatory inquiries. Trace forward from supplier or backward from customer with equal reliability, using a number of variables, including lot, supplier lot and customer order. MANAGE CUSTOMER REQUIREMENTS Keep customers happy by meeting their specific demands for product quality and process excellence. Provide thorough and reliable documentation of quality control and maintain consistently high standards, reducing the cost of rework and ensuring customer satisfaction.

Drink-IT can automate this complicated task. Empty Goods Management Gain confidence with an accurate listing and account processing of empty bottles, cases, casks and kegs at any given time. Calculate empty goods, in both sales and purchasing, ensuring the correct value and available stock of empty bottles, both inside and outside the company, is available. Also manage the charging and crediting of deposits for the empty goods. Discounts and Promotions One-off, temporary or permanent discounts or promotions are often offered to buyers and end consumers. These include both direct financial reductions and all kinds of free goods, gadgets and incentives. Track the results of your promotional activity AND have confidence you are accurately calculating all related aspects such as stock, taxes, empty bottles, invoicing, accounting, etc. Telesales Timely customer service is critical. Schedule to contact your customers to renew their order based on their needs.
