PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The completed software package will manage storage of cocoa beans (bags) and cocoa products (boxes) on behalf of our clients. Stored goods must contemplate multiple clients, multiple warehouses, multiple vessels, multiple tares, multiple points of origin, and other masterfile data.
Software must support set-up and utilization of multiple services performed on beans and products during ship-in, storage term, and ship-out – generating revenues that will be loaded (manually and/or electronically) into our Quickbooks financial database.
