Sales Order and Stock Management

A tailored business application for managing sales orders, stock control, warehousing, pricing, invoicing, and Sage integration in a busy flour production environment.

THE BRIEF

E.B. Bradshaw & Sons required a bespoke sales order and stock management solution to streamline the handling of customer orders, stock movements, invoicing, delivery planning, and warehouse operations. The client needed a system that could accommodate custom price lists, customer-specific product codes, sales discounts, palletisation rules, and delivery options, while also integrating sales processes with Sage.

Introduction

Managing stock and sales in a production-driven business requires more than a standard off-the-shelf package. E.B. Bradshaw & Sons needed a system that could reflect the realities of its daily operations, from handling customer-specific product references to coordinating stock across multiple warehouses and supporting accurate invoicing and delivery preparation.

To meet these needs, we developed a bespoke sales order and stock management application that provided end-to-end visibility and control across the sales and fulfilment process.

The Client

E.B. Bradshaw & Sons is a respected UK flour producer with established manufacturing and distribution operations. With the complexity of managing stock across multiple warehouses and locations, alongside varied customer pricing and fulfilment requirements, the business needed software built around its exact operational model.

Solution

We delivered a custom business application designed to support the full lifecycle of sales ordering, stock control, and dispatch preparation.

The solution included sales order processing with support for custom price lists, customer-specific product codes, and sales discount structures, allowing the team to manage client requirements with greater flexibility and accuracy. Invoicing functionality was built into the workflow, helping ensure a smoother progression from order placement to financial processing.

To support logistics and fulfilment, the system incorporated palletisation and delivery options, helping staff prepare orders in line with operational and customer requirements. Multi-warehouse management and detailed stock location tracking gave the business a clearer view of inventory across sites, improving stock accuracy and availability.

We also integrated the sales processes with Sage, reducing manual data entry and helping keep financial and operational records aligned.

By combining flexible commercial controls with detailed stock management and Sage integration, the solution helped the business work more efficiently and with greater confidence in its day-to-day processes.
