Autonomous Customer and Supplier Management

Factorbooks brings the commercial, financial and operational details of your customers and suppliers into one structure. Payables, receivables, advances, due dates and open orders are shown in real time at current exchange rates. You make collections and payments from the same screen and the movements match on their own.

Works in every package together with the related module.

How it differs from other ERPs

The same work, done two different ways.

In other ERPs

  • Customer and supplier records are kept apart, so the same company can be opened twice.
  • Balances, due dates and orders are pulled together from different reports.
  • To record a collection or payment, you leave the account screen for another one.
  • Tax ID, company name and IBAN are typed in by hand and mistakes can slip through.
  • Account movements are matched against the statement by hand.

In Factorbooks

  • Customers and suppliers are managed together under one tax ID.
  • Payables, receivables, advances, overdue days, average maturity and order balances show in real time.
  • Collections and payments are made directly from tabs on the CRM screen.
  • Tax ID, company name, IBAN and e-Invoice status are checked.
  • Movements match on their own through the Autonomous Smart Matching System.

What happens when you add a new customer and receive a payment?

You started working with a new company and its first payment has arrived.

  1. Identity is checked

    The tax ID and company name are verified and the e-Invoice status is checked.

  2. Bank details are checked

    The company’s bank accounts are added and the IBAN is checked.

  3. The collection is entered from CRM

    You record the collection directly from the Collections tab on the customer’s CRM screen.

  4. The movement matches

    The Autonomous Smart Matching System matches the collection to the right account record.

  5. The status updates

    Balance, overdue amount, average maturity and charts refresh right away.
