Raise purchase orders in just a few clicks

A seamless purchasing process

Our SRM software enables you to raise a purchase order straight from a supplier's dashboard or from the purchasing dashboard in just a few clicks.

It can also utilise shortage lists - essentially a shopping list, that you can use to populate your PO. They can be manually added by the warehouse or sales team or automated, where bestselling products are automatically added when they fall below a certain threshold.

As well as placing orders to replenish stock, you can place orders for direct delivery and back-to-back delivery.

Achieve a perfect synergy between your purchasing & stock control

One system to manage everything

By using one system for your stock control and purchasing, you can quickly identify low stock, the volume of forecasted orders and whether there's a purchase order raised with your supplier.

This ensures that your bestselling items are always in stock and there are no delays in placing orders with suppliers and getting orders to customers.
