The SIRONA sales order processing module has been designed and written by the Sirona Technologies team in Dublin to minimise the number of keystrokes and hence the amount of information necessary to complete an order. This has been achieved through the use of system defaults. These defaults, such as delivery address, discounts etc. can be altered by the system manager at any time.

SIRONA can hold an unlimited number of price lists in a variety of currencies, with prices specified down to customer by product level. Discounting can be based upon percentage, amount, quantity breaks, chain discounts, promotions or contracts. Price overrides are logged in the audit trail. Comprehensive enquiry and reporting facilities provide order tracking and full sales analysis.

Speed, accuracy and ease of use are the three basic criteria around which all SIRONA software modules are designed and written.
