PLASTIC MATERIALS DISTRIBUTION

Plastic materials distribution to a high extent acts like commodities trading where timeliness is the most significant factor in determining profitability and liquidity. An experienced trader may have hit the low buy-price expecting higher sell-price in the near future when the plastic materials arrive.

Once a purchase order has been placed, the business concerns start, requiring timely and accurate decisions. Bear in mind of vigorous price fluctuation (plastic materials are petrochemical products), high storage cost once materials have arrived and large transaction sum for every purchase:
- how to sell as fast as possible all the ordered materials when they are still in the sea
- how to ensure quality of customer
- how to obtain and manage banking facilities
- how to conclude a sales contract as fast as possible
- how to control accounts receivable

FLP^® Enterprise Management System is the most ideal management tool for the plastic materials distribution industry. FLP^® EMS allows the company tracking high-potential customers easily. The FLP^® Accounts Receivable Manager, a component of FLP^® EMS, without delay analyze the payment behavior of customers and the financial controller can determine the payment terms or even reject a sales contract.

Peculiar to FLP^® EMS is the function of letters of credit and trust receipt management. Available banking facilities are always synchronizing with the L/C, T/R, and bills retirement. Knowing the exact funding position of the company, the purchasing officer can be certain to place order when the buy-price reaches certain range to maximize the earning potential.

The most updated prices are communicated online with the sales executive and wrong contract price is avoided. Quotations and sales contracts are all being prepared by sales executives using the FLP^® EMS, regardless of the locations of the sales office in Kwun Tong, Kwai Chung, Shenzhen, Shanghai or Dongguan. The backoffice decision makers can then immediately through the same system determine to accept/reject a sales contract. The speed from contacting a customer, communicating price, checking shipping schedule, preparing sales contract and approvals are all being online.

FLP^® EMS helps you stay ahead of your competitors when they are still trying to call back the accounting or administration office to check credit status or shipping schedules.

Shipper details, bills of lading, expected arrival date (ETA), containers, container number, swapping containers, towing containers to warehouse, and goods reserved by salesmen are all systematically monitored. With a few clicks with your mouse, you see for example what brand of products with container numbers being shipped to which customers, unit selling price per product per invoice per customer, buy and sell price for an invoice, settlements and outstanding status.
