Coyote Recordkeeper features the most complete and integrated inventory management system. No matter whether you need a million SKU's, a clothing style system with unlimited color and size options per style--without creating inventory records per style--or an automotive system which tracks year, make, model, and advanced vehicle matching system-- we have you covered.

Color/Size Style Based Inventory Support

Each inventory item can work like a standard sku-based system. If needed, advanced tagging lets you manage auto-redirect to another sku based on your product options. For items that come in multiple colors and sizes; you can manage your items as single styles with separate inventory values per color/size while keeping a single base sku and multiple sub skus.

Creating an easy-to-manage system of size and/or color availability and inventory tracking is fast and painless with Coyote. Keep photos of all your products in the database for fast reference and add multiple views, movies, and file attachments. You can attach instruction sheets, to print at shipping, for inclusion in the box. You can create these on the fly and manage them easily within the inventory module.

Accessories

Accessorize everything. Create accessory groups easily to manage what accessories are presented to customers on the web, as well as on the phone. You can manage what information is available to your sales staff for them to use when talking to customers on the phone. Create dynamic pop-up options to walk customers and sales staff through complex product selection processes with ease. Product pop-ups can adjust an item's price, adjust its description, redirect to another product or build a part number, or even build a custom product. All of these configurations work for your sales staff and they seamlessly synchronize to the web for use in your website's customer selections.

Kitting

Kiting or product bundling allows products to consist of other sub-products. Kits can then be assembled on the fly from the pick tickets and labeled as a finished assembly at picking and shipping. Coyote supports sub-kits to allow for kits to be built into other kits. Coyote keeps track of the kit's weight and availability, and it can backorder whole kits when components are not available. Further, Coyote will update the order's status when the kit is available--and inventory is allocated. Pricing tools are also available to help monitor a kit's profitability since kit component costs can change.

Auto Pricing

You can set auto parts pricing by setting a desired markup on a product. Markups and pricing can all be set through tables of desired mark-ups based on cost. As costs change and profitability drops, you can set items to be auto-readjusted for price, adjusted and queued for review or catalog printing, and automatically apply new pricing when desired. Up to four pricing levels are supported for retail, two wholesale levels and a discount level for hosting a normal web site. You can also have multiple alternate web sites with different pricing schemes and private pricing.

Purchasing Levels and Automated Suggestions

You can manage your inventory levels though min and max settings. With optional Peak and off-peak settings, you can adjust inventory purchasing levels during peak purchasing periods and reduce inventory as your busy season ends. Min and max settings determine the automatic ordering levels for Purchasing. When you have enough sales history the system can assist you in setting or adjusting your levels based on ordering trends. Chart your inventory throughout the year and see how your product sells. It is easy to chart orders, units and volume with Coyote.

Multi-Vendor

Multiple vendor support lets you track an unlimited number of alternate vendors for a product. The system can auto-adjust retails as well when the cost of the item changes, and/or as vendors change. The system updates prices based on the new vendor's pricing settings. Report on cost changes from vendors to keep you on top of changes in your product cost.

Multi-WebSite

Manage your many web sites from within Coyote. Coyote can manage multiple companies and divisions--and their products--in one system. Specify how each product is listed on each web site. Coyote supports cross-categorizing on a single site and/or multiple site. You can flag which items are stock items, drop shipped, available as special orders, and maintain waiting lists for hard-to-get parts. TYou can take pre-orders and manage the web site status for items of every type. No matter what your web needs are, our developers can help you get the most out of the web. When what we have is not enough let us customize the coyote and web system integration to meet your unique marketing and product needs.

Twitter Integration

There is a built-in ability to post items to Twitter with links to your products. Automatically send tweets when parts come back in stock and when new items become available.
