Agware Broker

Agware Broker is a fully integrated software application for the food and produce broker. It is designed with close attention paid to the sales, purchasing and commissions tracking functions of a broker.

There are two types of food/produce brokers, possession and non-possession. The difference between the two is logical. One broker takes possession of the inventory to be shipped to the customer and the other does not. In some instances a broker may function as both types. The system requirements for non-possession brokering are a little different than for a regular shipping company (possession broker); however, taking brokering into consideration from the start allows integration of their needs in the system.

Customer Service component relies on the sales order, pricebook and inventory components of Agware Broker to give you a complete profile of your customers, including which items they've bought before, exactly what they were charged for those items, and date last ordered. You can tell customers if an item is in stock or if a substitute product is available, shipping information about an order and current pricing.

• Online sales history
• Product availability and pricing
• Easy access to customer information
