Genius Central Releases New Receiving Module for Retail Ordering

Specialty Food Association

Receiving Included as Part of New BUYHQ Offerings

Bradenton, FL (12 October 2021) – Adding to its already robust order management suite, Genius Central has released a new Receiving feature. For over 20 years, Genius Central has been an integral part of the supply chain, providing a comprehensive, single-device ordering solution to independent retailers with access to its national database of supplier catalogs. This new functionality marks the next step in true all-in-one order management, allowing retail users to scan each product as it arrives at the store and create a digital record for every product received.

With this new solution, retailers can more easily avoid costly errors such as misread handwritten notes, incorrectly calculated received totals, or lost paper invoices and packing slips. Users can both order and receive their inventory with one system – simplifying the entire ordering process from start-to-finish.  Retailers can save both time and money all while gaining valuable insight into their inventory practices.

“We’ve been working with customers for years to solve their pain points with ordering,” says Product Owner, Sylvie McGowan, “and something that kept popping up was receiving. Staff who were receiving the product at the back door wanted a way to scan items, compare quantity ordered with quantity received, and email all the data over to their AP department for reconciliation.” She continues, “BUYiQ has always allowed buyers to create and submit orders with one device. Now, with the receiving module, they can also receive those orders using that same device. Then, buyers can quickly share that data with different departments, vendors, or brokers, making the reconciliation process that much easier.”

Receiving is integrated into both BUYiQ, the original multi-vendor in-aisle scanning and ordering software, and BUYHQ, the comprehensive online order management portal.  The feature is included as part of BUYHQ Premium within the new schedule of BUYHQ offerings from Genius Central.
