Purchasing is highly efficient in Global Shop Solutions’ ERP software. Automated Purchasing users experience simplified inventory management and time spent on purchasing is cut in half! Through the use of these three innovative tools companies are fully capable of streamlining their purchasing system and cutting costs by as much as 4%:
Automated Purchasing works by generating a list of materials needed to purchase overall or through a cutoff date. Users can purchase based on requirements and/or reorder points, and quickly identify the best price by checking vendor quotes and purchase history.
By creating a blanket purchase orders, you can lock in the best price with a vendor. Automated Purchasing also create releases against the blanket every time the material is purchased. From a single screen, users can determine the status of each order and tell immediately if it is in inspection, received, if the order is opened, closed, etc.
When work orders are rescheduled or customers change due dates, purchase order dates and required quantities can change. The Purchasing Action Required screen shows purchasing agents all of the modifications required to keep the jobs on schedule.
Global Shop Solutions’ Auto Purchasing has reduced our inventory from $1.5 million to about $400,000.
