Sales Administration
This model allows for rapid integration with logistics, reducing time frames and simplifyng functions for the laboratory.
Administrative Business Model
The sales administration service is supported by a commercial mandate, where Novofarma acts on behalf of the laboratory, delegating the functions of the consumer service area.
In this model the commercial conditions of each products and clinet are set in our ERP, including prices, discounts, credit and payment terms, among others.
We have a team specialized in entering orders based on purchase orders or Cenabast distribution annexes, attaching the documentation required for delivery in each case (exchange letters, certificates, among others).
For dispatch, we issue a Novofarma invoice, to later carry out the collection service, delivering the funds collected to the laboratory.
As part of the service, associated administrative procedures will be completed for public market tenders, such as documents generation and issuance of tickets or guarantee policies and contracts.
This model has been adopted by many of our clients due to the simplicity of its application, transferring to Novofarma the administrative functions assosiated with sales, allowing commercial teams to concentrate their efforts on demand generation.
