Take the supply chain planning to new levels

Inventory control in combination with purchasing planning works as a powerful tool for increasing delivery capacity while reducing inventory.

Inventory Control

Purchasing planning

Based on forecasts and inventory control, automatic order proposals are created that the product planner can use as a starting point or let purchase orders be created and sent completely automatically. 

INTEGRATE EASILY INTO YOUR ERP

The solution is installed as an add -on to the customer’s existing ERP. The business system is normally the master for all data and data maintenance is only done in one place. Purchase orders and changes in orders are automatically updated to the ERP.

  • Seamless integration with the most common business systems on the market such as NAV, AX, Dynamics, Jeeves, Visma Business, Visma Admin, Pyramid, M3, SAP, Winbas and more.
  • Installed quickly and easily at a fixed price.
  • We retrieve and send data
  • For Inventory Control, all that is required is that the customer’s ERP can leave either files with data or a web API where we retrieve the data that is needed. File transfer uses XML files or plain text files.
