The Connected Motor Factor Stack
Four best-in-class systems working as one
SAP Business One
Core Platform
Single source of truth for items, pricing, customers, purchasing, serial/batch tracking, and UK VAT/MTD compliance.
EPoS Now
Counter POS
Fast cloud POS for trade counters. Syncs products, customers, and prices. Pushes sales back to SAP Business One automatically.
Produmex WMS/Scan
Warehouse Execution
Barcode-driven receiving, directed picking, serial/batch control. Choose Scan (light) or WMS (advanced) as you scale.
Stream
Transport & ePOD
Route planning, live tracking, and electronic proof of delivery. Two-way sync with SAP Business One for watertight records.
How It Works: Goods-In to ePOD
Five steps to complete operational visibility
Goods-In & Putaway
Scan deliveries on handhelds. Produmex writes serials/batches/bins to SAP Business One in real-time for traceability.
Counter Sale
EPoS Now pulls items/prices from ERP. Staff see alternates if stock short. Sale posts to SAP Business One automatically.
Pick & Pack
Barcode pick with bin locations. WMS directs optimal path through warehouse. Serial/batch captured instantly.
Route Plan
Stream plans multi-drop runs efficiently. Drivers get turn-by-turn navigation and delivery sequence on mobile.
ePOD & Sync
Driver captures photo/signature proof. Stream posts status and POD back to SAP Business One for invoicing records.
The Reality for Most Motor Factors
Slow Counter Lookups & Pricing Chaos
Staff hunting through systems for stock levels. Trade pricing inconsistent. Promotions not applied. Customers waiting.
Stockouts & Mispicks
No real-time bin visibility. Poor handling of alternates and supersessions. Wrong parts picked. Returns and complaints.
Paper PODs & Delivery Disputes
Van sheets lost. No proof of delivery. Customers claiming non-delivery. Invoice disputes eating into cash flow.
Double Entry Everywhere
Keying sales from till into ERP. Van sheets into system. Inventory adjustments. Hours wasted, errors multiplied.
Audit Risk & Compliance Pressure
Serial/batch tracking patchy. UK VAT/MTD records scattered. HMRC audit would expose gaps.
There's a Better Way
One connected stack eliminates these pain points. Counter, warehouse, and delivery working as one.

Common Questions from Motor Factor MDs
How does the POS integration actually work?
EPoS Now connects to SAP Business One via REST API. Products, customers, and prices sync from SAP Business One to the POS. When a sale happens, it posts back to SAP Business One as a sales order or invoice. This keeps your integrated platform as the single source of truth whilst the till stays fast and simple.
Can it handle trade pricing and alternates?
Yes. SAP Business One's price lists, special prices, and volume breaks flow to EPoS Now. Alternative items are configured in SAP Business One, so counter staff can immediately offer supersessions when the exact part is out of stock.
WMS or Scan - which do we need?
Start with Produmex Scan if you're doing <50 picks per day per site and want quick barcode wins. Step up to Produmex WMS when you need directed workflows, wave picking, packing/SSCC labels, or route-based loading across multiple depots.
Is electronic POD legally valid in the UK?
Yes. Electronic signatures and photos meet UK legal requirements for proof of delivery. Stream captures timestamped GPS, photos, and signatures which sync to SAP Business One for indisputable audit trail.
What about UK VAT and Making Tax Digital?
SAP Business One is MTD-ready with digital VAT submissions to HMRC. All sales (counter and delivery) flow through B1, maintaining compliant digital records with full audit trail.
Can it work across multiple branches?
Absolutely. SAP Business One handles multi-branch with branch transfers, centralised purchasing, and consolidated reporting. EPoS Now supports multi-store. Stream manages deliveries from any depot. Produmex WMS works across sites.
How long does implementation take?
Typical motor factor goes live in 12-16 weeks: SAP Business One core first, then layer on POS, warehouse, and delivery. We pilot at one branch, prove it works, then roll out to remaining locations.
What about data migration from our current system?
We extract your items, customers, pricing, and historical transactions from your existing system and migrate to SAP Business One. Typically completed during implementation phase with validation before go-live.
