The most advanced software application of its
kind Created by Hospitality and I.T.
Professionals with many years of international
expertise in their respective fields. It covers
all the related operational aspects of Supply
Chain Management within the Hospitality and Food
Service Organizations, offering great flexibility
to the unit or enterprise levels and contributing
significantly to the overall profits.
The key to the success of our solution lies in
our ability and willingness to take and enhance
the best ideas and practices from our customers
and incorporate these almost instantaneously into
our software Garry Lowe - Director of
Operations for GoldenB2B Hospitality and designer
of FBM. FBM is an ever evolving solution that is
constantly being tweaked and enhanced to meet the
needs of an ever more demanding and increasingly
sophisticated hotel market that will settle for
nothing less than perfection.
3

• FBM is a truly international, multilingual
  system. Currently running in English, French,
  Russian, Greek and can be translated to any other
  language within DAYS.
• Single user login to eliminate misuse of
  Password and user rights.

4

• The FBM, user definition options are very
  sophisticated as you can see from the screenshot.
  We have the option to link the user to each
  store or location individually and then to each
  item. Alternatively we can link each user to
  everything at the click of a button.
• The user menu for each user is also definable.
  Each user only gets to see the options they are
  allowed access to.
• All stores can be specifically assigned to a
  user only for ordering, or requisitions, or both,
  as required.

5

• FBM, uses one database for Stock Item, NON stock
  items and Direct Items.
• No need to login in and out to see different
  store or items.

• FBM, Item Screen has all the necessary
  information at at glance on one screen, even
  including the option for pictures.
• Each and every individual item is linked to
  specific stores for the user to order and
  requisition.

6

• As you can see from the illustration, FBM has
  the most advanced electronic purchasing path.
  Clear and transparent.
• Each step is pre-defined at the setup stage of
  installation and the Purchase Order follows this
  path.  
• So Simple and easy, from the Originator to the
  Chairman if required. 
• Based on Hotel, Resort and Corporate levels,
  with definable threshold purchasing limits.

7

• Another unique function of FBM is the Tracking
  system which allows a user to see exactly where
  orders are in the approval process with just a
  look. The user can even see if the order has a
  message attached to it for viewing, enabling a
  more efficient and productive use of his time.

8

• Within each order itself, we again have a very
  simple color coded tracking system that allows
  the user to see what has been done with his order
  by all the people that are in the authorization
  path.
• Other very useful information that can be viewed
  
• Item description
• Vendor product code
• Finance Expense code
• Comments per ORDER
• Comments per ITEM.
• Messages
• And much more

9

• There is a log for each and every item within a
  purchase order.
• The log shows the actions that the authorizing
  personnel took, recording the exact time (taken
  from the server) that the action took place.
• Every electronic movement of the Order Request
  is logged and tracked so as the user and the
  management can see very clearly if there is a
  problem and where the problem lies.

10

• Special feature of joining requisitions together
  from different departments / outlets to make one
  Master Purchase Order.
• This is especially useful for hotels that do not
  have stores, since it allows users to order items
  on a daily basis as needed and therefore keep
  zero inventories.
• Purchasing need raise only ONE Purchase Order
  for the entire hotel.

11

• Auto Allocate button allows purchasing
  department to process an entire Purchase Order
  with any number of items with just one click!.
• This feature makes use of the quotations system
  that can be defined according to vendor priority.
• Prices are automatically picked up from a
  scaleable table that allows the hotel to benefit
  from any volume discounts (if applicable).

12

• Signatures and titles appear on the purchase
  orders automatically from the system, once the
  purchase order has been fully authorised.
  (Signatures scanned into the users file).

13

• FBM has a very detailed and highly user friendly
  Recipes Management System.
• All recipes and reports can be exported quickly
  to Excel and be used for simulations etc.
• Includes pictures, sales tax, stock deduction,
  definable report layout for recipes line by line.
• Printouts include serving and preparation info
  that can be used to train kitchen staff.

14

• Numerous useful reports.
• FBM has highly customizable but entirely useful
  reports. The idea was to only include useful
  reports and not have hundreds of reports just for
  the sake of it.
• All Reports in FBM can be easily exported to
  Microsoft Excel.
• Built in charts and graphics

15

• FBM has an inbuilt messaging system.
• Messages can be attached to each Purchase Order
  and Requisition and are kept for as long as the
  order is active, giving the user a detailed track
  of all information with regards to their Purchase
  Orders and Requisitions.

16

• When doing an inventory at month end or a spot
  check during the month, the user has the option
  to select either the
• Higher Category
• Secondary Category
• Primary Category
• Or Even by the individual Item.
•  
• This flexible printing system gives the user the
  option to choose how and what items they print on
  the inventory count sheets, thus saving time and
  making the inventory process a little easier.

17

• FBM has the option to export all inventories to
  any hand held device for month end inventory and
  spot check purposes.
• The easy interface allows the user to simply
  upload and download figures, print the difference
  report and close the figures.
• The system also has the ability to run two
  inventory periods simultaneously. The user can
  therefore start the inventory process and still
  have the operation running. No system down
  time at the end of the month.

18

• Importing Revenue Figures from POS subsystems is
  very simple and clear.
• Each Food Beverage outlet manager can view
  their sales figures at a glance and can then make
  useful decisions based on the information at hand
• FBM can also deduct stock and give exact daily
  stock on hand figures on an outlet basis, if all
  applicable recipes are input and flagged to be
  deducted from stocks
