Make Better Purchasing Decisions Across the Product Lifecycle

Streamline and simplify the procurement process with Advantive’s highly specialized distribution and manufacturing software. Our ERP solutions include intelligent purchasing functionality like suggested inventory replenishment and real-time reports to automate key tasks, reduce inventory errors, and create easy purchase order entries.

Simplify the ordering process with ERP software that supports multiple buying types including economic order quantity (EOQ), minimum/maximum, line buying, or order classification industry-standard equations. Changes to the EOQ and the order point are made automatically, and once an item hits the minimum or order point, it will appear on the purchase order suggested buy report. You can also allow vendor items to be set up by multiple defaults including type, safety stock, and lead time. Using lead time, for example, if a product is needed within 5 days, the purchasing agent can narrow the potential vendors to those that can fulfill within the required window.

One of the most beneficial features specifically made for purchasers is the purchase order suggest buy report included in our ERP software. This powerful tool shows items that need to be purchased based on an item falling to a minimum or order point, or needing to be back ordered. This report helps you analyze vendor minimums and free freight minimums by item and item purchase multiples, providing a highly automated suggested purchase order. You can make informed purchasing decisions with easy access to important information, such as:

  • Item quantity in every warehouse
  • Usage pattern by warehouse
  • Open orders
  • Future orders
  • Open quotes
  • Backorders
  • Hot buys

In addition to making suggestions for how to handle inventory replenishment, Advantive’s flexible ERP software tracks your inventory and can report when you have stock shortages or surpluses in both single and multiple warehouse environments.
