Core Modules in ProfitKey Manufacturing

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

PURCHASING MANAGEMENT
Fully integrated into the Common Sense Scheduler, purchasing allows you to not just buy items and raw materials to stock, but also purchase directly to the job, even to a specific operation. This ‘time-phasing’ delays purchasing as long as needed – keeping money in your pocket instead of on the shelf - while still assuring availability of material for the job.
