Purchasing & Stock Control Continued

Creating Purchase Orders

Once your quote is accepted, it is easily converted into a job. Stock levels are checked and purchase orders raised though the job at your best discounts. As each purchase order records the job number, reconciling supplier statements is easy and errors don’t escape unnoticed.

Because you’re ordering for the job, and goods are batched accordingly, the number of trips to wholesalers is greatly reduced, so your staff spend more time on-site.

Supplier Purchase History

You can check exactly what you’ve bought, from whom and when. You are able to negotiate better discounts from your wholesalers as a result.

Supplier Invoice, Supplier Pricing and Pricing Discrepancies

You know immediately if a supplier has unexpectedly changed a price, or worse still, has overlooked your hard-earned discount. Buying better makes money and now you know you’re buying at the best discount all the time.

Stock Control

Do you know where your stock is and how much you’re really carrying? Inventory and stock control is an ongoing challenge for everyone in the service industry. Knowing exactly where it is, and how much it cost are both at your fingertips.
