As wholesale distributors, you’re constantly balancing stock and customer expectations, all while trying to keep costs under control and operations running smoothly. So, when working across several warehouses or handling fast-moving production lines, it’s easy for inventory control to become overwhelming.
That’s where Sicon Distribution for Sage 200 comes in. Built as an enhancement for Sage 200, it gives you access to nine modules that are designed specifically to streamline your distribution processes.
In this article, we’ll discuss how Sicon Distribution supports distributors like you, in order to gain better control of your stock and ensure your supply chain runs smoothly from end to end.
Why Sicon Distribution?
Sicon’s Distribution Modules are designed specifically for businesses that need robust, real-time control of their inventory. Whether you want to automate replenishment, forecast future demand or streamline order processing, Sicon provides the tools to do it efficiently.
The suite now consists of nine individual modules, meaning you only purchase what your business needs, with the flexibility to add more as you grow.
Sicon Distribution Modules
Material Planning
Material Planning provides suggested purchase orders by using your current stock, demand, sales orders and supplier lead times. This helps you avoid stockouts while reducing excess stock and improving purchasing accuracy.
Warehouse Replenishment
Automatically generate stock transfers between warehouses to maintain optimum stock levels and prevent shortages across locations.
Purchase Order Management (POP)
Enhance your purchasing process with supplier delivery KPIs, goods inspection tools, advanced landed costs, supplier quantity breaks and minimum order values. POP Management gives you tighter control over supplier performance and purchasing costs.
Future Sales
Forecast sales demand based on historical performance and seasonal trends. These insights help you plan purchasing more effectively and ensure you’re prepared for demand spikes.
Container Management
Manage the full container lifecycle, from linking multiple purchase orders to tracking loading, travel, and customs clearance. This module is ideal for businesses importing goods or managing long supply routes.
Reserves and Call Offs
Allocate and hold stock for specific customers, then release it directly through SOP or from the reserve. Manage long-term purchasing agreements and call-off schedules with ease.
Sales Order Management (SOP)
Improve sales processing with features such as rapid telesales entry, easy copying of historical orders, handling of superseded/discontinued items, and quick allocation or un-allocation of stock without drilling into every order line.
Pre-Allocation Manager
Link purchase orders directly to sales orders so stock is allocated the moment it arrives. You can edit and manage these allocations at any time, ensuring high-priority orders never get missed.
Stock Matrix
Create and manage stock variants—such as colour, size, style, or season—with ease. Grid-style entry within SOP/POP speeds up order processing and gives full visibility over available variants.
