If a sofa is available in different colours, and fabric grades, this product only needs one product number. Set up each model in the Back Office only once and simply assign different values. This saves you a lot of time.

All you have to do is use the fabric configurator to set up various dimensions. For example, you can setup different fabric colours, grades, leathers. You can also setup various leg options. A sofa could have titanium or chrome legs or a dresser could be available in oak, cherry or pine. Certain options will have price or cost jumps, which you can assign and change as needed.

In the product setup you select the applicable options. As new options become available you can assign new values or take away options that are discontinued.

At the POS, as you enter the product number the grid selection window pops up showing you the options available. When you select the desired options, the price, including the price jump, is automatically calculated. You can quickly provide different price quotes for customers considering more than one option.

Using another Aralco feature, when you complete a customer order you can automatically send a purchase order to the back office staff for them to review and send the order to the supplier.

In the Back Office you can run reports to review the chosen options. Over a long-range you can determine the most popular options and review customer trends.
