Here’s how Alignbooks helps SMEs with this integration
E-commerce vendors can monitor their inventory on a real-time basis for refills or track slow-moving stocks at the Amazon warehouse. SMEs deal with a huge number of invoices generated on a daily basis and managing such volumes, manually, is not only tedious but not accurate either. SMEs might lose the thin margins if any of the above are not managed efficiently. Deployment of the tech-enabled platform allows sales and cash flow management for SMEs. Payment Settlements by Amazon to the designated bank a/cs of SMEs also get reconciled through the seamlessly. Availability of dashboard will allow real time view of sales / inventory / cash flows with intelligence, for faster & efficient decisions.
AlignBooks is primarily a SaaS based solution which is not available for use anytime, anywhere, it offers flexibility to operate on offline mode too and auto-syncs as a when reconnected to the net. This is even beneficial for SMEs from tier 2 and 3 cities of India those who might still be struggling with consistency & bandwidth issues. The accounting software has also partnered with various financial intermediaries, including ICICI bank (connected banking), enabling efficient management of Receivables & Payable by its customers.
