Quotes and Invoices are the heart of LightSpeed, powered by lightening fast searches and streamlined interface. Sales reps can create professional-looking quotes and invoices in seconds with instant and complete knowledge of the Product being sold. A quote can be converted in to an Invoice or submitted to Purchasing as an Order, all with the click of a button. Deposits can be taken on Quotes or Orders and applied later as credits to Invoices. |
 |
Gift Cards LightSpeed's Gift Card system is both versatile and easy-to-use. Retailers can choose to use pre-printed gift certificates or gift cards with magnetic stripes or barcodes. LightSpeed can also generate and print barcode labels that can be affixed to gift certificates or gift cards. |
 |
Product Matrix LightSpeed has a size/colour matrix in its Product window for clothing and apparel-based businesses which lets these business owners create Product records and adjust inventory levels in a convenient grid format. You can even build your Purchase Order using a matrix, a wonderful convenience that may save you hours when ordering from your suppliers. |
|
One-Click Purchasing Actions Sorting through the order requests your sales reps place throughout the day and compiling them onto purchase orders can be an onerous task, but LightSpeed's One-Click Purchasing categorises the requests according to supplier and converts them to purchase orders with a single click. Each PO lists the breakdown of the order requests, including customer info, inventory statuses, ETAs and costs. |
 |
Serial Numbers Any serialised products are tracked as they move through the system, from being received on a purchase order to being sold on an invoice, booked in on a Service Repair Order, or transferred to a warehouse. If you add a serialised product to an invoice, you can access a list of available serial numbers in your inventory with the click of a button, or simply use your handheld scanner to scan in the products' serial number. |
 |
Reorder Points One of LightSpeed's many smart features includes Reorder Point, which allows you to set reorder points for your products. When stock diminishes to the level you've set, you will be prompted to place another order using LightSpeed's clear one-click purchasing. |
 |
Accounts Receivable Keeping tabs on your customer accounts is done with the Accounts Receivable module, tracking their outstanding invoices as they age through 30-day intervals. You can print statements, apply payments to particular invoices, set opening balances when you're bringing in customers from your previous system, and filter unused credits in sales documents. |
Customer Records
 |
Addresses, Contacts and Preferences The Customer window lets you track everything about a customer. It can store multiple phone numbers, addresses and contacts as well as capture customer photos with an iSight (or other) camera. Default language, currency, salesperson and tax code can also be set to increase accuracy and speed up transaction speed for a customer. |
 |
Marketing and Categories Marketing activities like mass mailings and mailing label printing are facilitated by innovative categorisation tools like Customer Groups and powerful search tools like the Advanced Customer Find and Customer Browser that take full advantage of LightSpeed's robust SQL database. |
LightSpeed Web Store
 |
Amazing Templates LightSpeed Web Store ships with three professionally-designed templates that can be modified to suit any business. Alternatively, retailers can design their own CSS template to match an existing website. Introducing a new item or advertising a new promotion on the Web Store is as easy as dragging an dropping new header and sub-header graphics from your desktop directly into LightSpeed. |
 |
One Click Updates |
 |
Easy order Processing Web Orders are downloaded with a single-click and can be processed using either your existing card/PDQ terminal or LightSpeed's optional third party card processors, including Paypal and Google Checkout. Shoppers are matched with customer records in the database and automatically receive an email to alert them that their order has been received. If products are not in stock, the order requests can flow directly into LightSpeed's purchasing system. |
