Initiation of the Order

With NCR POS, drop-shipping is easier than you think. NCR Counterpoint allows you to initiate and process orders that you don't necessarily need to stock or ship. The authorized user can just provide the vendors with the shipping information of the customer and then the vendor will directly ship the order to the customer, proving to be a cost-effective and efficient POS system. The thing is that it also allows you to add lines that are having details of multiple orders. Counterpoint intelligently initiates a purchase request for each item's primary vendor on that drop-shipping list.  

Reviewing the Order

Another option for the authorized user is that he/she can edit or review the drop-ship purchase request before it has been posted, which ultimately creates a purchase order for the vendor. When the drop-ship purchase order is received by the vendor, the vendor notifies you as soon as he ships the item to the customer, keeping you in the loop and allowing you the feasibility of tracking. When you are notified about the shipping of the item, a receiver can be created and later posted by you specifically for the drop-ship purchase order, ultimately leading to the completion of the drop-ship process.

Tracking of the Quantity

Quantities of the items that have been drop-shipped can be tracked in a separate manner to avoid the mix up with the items that you do keep in stock, making sure that the inventory is not disturbed. Everything relevant to drop-shipped orders is presented within the user-friendly interface of NCR POS and grants you access to multiple features offered by the system itself. Counterpoint handles all your needs in a manner that is beneficial, to ensure that you never miss anything pertinent to a drop-shipped order which might land you in trouble.
