- "Last year two people working our warehouse could fill 90 orders a day between them. This year, because of the Solid Cactus redesign our business is way up. Now we have four people working the warehouse, but because of Cactus Complete Commerce we're able to fill 330 orders per day. Our old order fulfillment was 30 seconds per order, now we're down to 10 seconds per order. We've cut our processing time on the back-end by two-thirds."

The Cactus Complete Commerce Purchasing and Inventory Management modules are the foundations of this mission-critical area of the application.
The entire supply chain and fulfillment lifecycle, from supplier management and purchasing to warehousing, backorder management, shipping and forecasting are handled by this flexible and streamlined feature.
Advanced features such as item image display and natural-language query of detailed product descriptions further enhance the application.
Comprehensive reporting tools are available for every aspect of purchasing and inventory management. Customized warning levels can be set to transmit low inventory and out of inventory messages to management.
The Purchasing module generates PO documents that initiate a purchase order flow management, which includes delivery control, inventory management and financial control of the supply chain.
Cactus Complete Commerce makes optimum use of distributed tasking: the reporting of supply chain events is delegated to vendors to reduce administrative workload and costs. Suppliers can actually log into Cactus Complete Commerce and update the status of a purchase order, informing you that goods have been shipped.
Customizable e-mail reminders are generated for critical events and warnings, such as low inventory notifications; online status reports provide real-time, complete, yet concise views of the supply chain process.
When purchase orders are created, the expected delivery date of the products ordered is updated. This enables customer service staff to assist with greater speed and efficiency.
