Standardize your purchasing processes for parts, merchandise, and equipment. Make sure each new investment follows established approval workflows; is properly accounted for in your General Ledger; and is correctly added to your inventory so you can start renting it out to your customers.
Keep detailed records for each vendor you purchase from. Decide if you want to require signed purchase orders for each, and – if applicable – ask the system to halt any new purchases until a PO has been created in the system.
Easily track order dates, shipment methods, delivery dates, and other critical procurement information. Auto-apply existing item numbers for re-orders or create new item numbers when purchasing something for the first time.
Speed up your procurement cycle with one-step purchase orders. Open, fill out, and close the PO in a single step, then move on to the next step in your purchasing process.
When new inventory is delivered, track the status in your ERP. Create receipts (and verify that the delivery matches your initial order); easily manage back orders for partially filled orders.
When purchasing serialized equipment, add the serial numbers to each machine’s record. Set up book rates and customer-specific pricing; determine excess usage and delivery/pickup charges; enter your warranty information; and manage all the other critical data you’ll need for the lifecycle of the machine.
Make sure you’re making the most of every dollar you invest in your inventory. Report on open purchase orders, utilization, reorders by location, and other key pieces of purchasing data.
