Business Applications

The Challenges

Since the 1970’s, Kooheji store grew with the use of an old accounting & stock control system was developed locally at Saudi Arabia DOS-based.
The main problem for Kooheji Store was handling and organizing the serial number for each item & how to calculate the cost if they add some parts to the item or if they replace part with another one to change the color or the shape or any customization.
Kooheji store are selling critical and very expensive items so they need very strong and accurate stock control.
Al-Amri & Co. recommended ACCPAC Advantage with serialized inventory control option. We deal with Kooheji store on February 2001 and we started the implementation on April 2001 at the head office in Khobar.
We implemented ACCPAC financial for the accounting department after fully business requirement review. We implemented the inventory control module to manage and to handle the stock receiving, transferring, stock assembling, & stock costing. We implemented ACCPAC serialized inventory option to manage all serial numbers and to detect each item for whom sold or bought and where is it and to know the history for any serial number.
We Implemented ACCPAC sales order Entry Module to handle & manage the sales orders at show rooms & their services centers.
Kooheji store show rooms are linked using ADSL lines and they have one file server at the head office & the sales persons can access ACCPAC database by the predefined permissions.
The second phase in our plan with Kooheji stores is to implement iconnect server service to give an access through the web to specific customers or their biggest customers like SAUDI ARAMCO.
We finished the implementation at kooheji store within 4 weeks and after that we followed them during the data entry and year-end closing process.
