External Sales Posting

(Maitre'D 2003, and later versions of Maitre'D)

Sales can be imported into Maitre'D from the web or a Kiosk thanks to the XML platform. Files transferred to the Back-Office are treated in real time by the Delivery module's Pre-Order function.

 

Therefore, inventory updates are also in real time. This increases efficiency and eliminates the need for costly equipment. Since data is transferred automatically, this eliminates errors from manual data entry.
