Purchasing & inventory software advice please - what do you recommend?
(OP)
Hi all,
(Already posted in another category - sorry, just trying to reach everyone)
I'm hoping for some insight on an effective (and not highly priced) piece of kit for managing purchases. We run-off a large BOM from Solid Edge, and it gets quite difficult having everyone update an Excel file on what's ordered, PO number, ETA, status, etcetc...
The software needs to be capable of
- 8+ PC users accessing and contributing / viewing
- Show clearly the status of individual parts ordered (maybe with colour coding)
- Show PO numbers and Job numbers for each order
- Keeps an inventory of stock codes, description and qty's already in possession (to prevent unnecissarily ordering more of what we already have on hand)
- Ideally, compliments Solid Edge directly
There's likely more useful features, but that gives a decent idea I think. Thanks so much for any help!
First post, new member, and new to the industry. Here's hoping for many prosperous years for all!
Cheers
David

You can insert a link by just copy & paste the "threadxxx-xxxxxx" line from beneath the title at the top of the screen, just like this:

Suggest you go in and edit your post here to insert the other thread reference and ask folks to post there instead.
