The summit · Operations hub
Coordinate people, tasks, and outcomes from one place.
SummitSuite keeps teams aligned when the work spans departments.
Simple, practical tools to keep small business operations running smoothly every day.
Manage appointments, staff schedules, and deadlines from one clear calendar view.
Assign tasks, set due dates, and monitor completion so priorities stay visible.
Store and organize business documents so the team can find what it needs fast.
Keep contacts, notes, and interaction history together for better customer continuity.
View activity, completion, and schedule reporting to keep operations on track.
Automated reminders help teams stay ahead of deadlines, appointments, and commitments.
Move deals from quotation through sales order, delivery note, and invoice in one connected workflow — no re-keying data between stages.
Track on-hand, committed, and available quantities in real time — with stock takes, variance reconciliation, and a full movement audit trail.
Raise purchase orders, receive goods against them with three-way matching, and process supplier invoices through to automated BACS payment runs.
Post journals, manage nominal codes and accounting periods, run a trial balance, and close months — with multi-currency support and automatic exchange rate handling.
Trend dashboards, aged debtors, sales summaries, and declining-customer detection — plus an ad-hoc EasyQuery report builder for any slice of the data you need.
Import supplier catalogs via XML/EDI, browse live pricing and availability, and push curated lists to customers — with OPXML connector support for major wholesale distributors.
Automate frequent replenishment orders, run consolidated invoice generation, and schedule ledger updates and BACS payment batches from the Process Dashboard.
Structure operations across branches, departments, and warehouse locations — with cost-center tracking and company-scoped data isolation for each entity.
Module-level RBAC keeps staff in their lane, while the Credit Control dashboard surfaces overdue accounts and manages customer credit limits and collections in one place.
Scores reflect common buyer-facing positioning (not an exhaustive RFP matrix). Yes = clearly advertised or widely accepted strength; Partial = varies by edition, add-on, or configuration; No = not a marketed advantage; Unclear = insufficient public detail.
