COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE

Material Procurement Systems:
Complete Guide

Everything you need to know about material procurement systems for manufacturing and fabrication. We work with these systems daily at Fabitin.

What Are Material Procurement Systems?

Material procurement systems are software solutions that help manufacturing and fabrication operations manage the sourcing, purchasing, and tracking of raw materials and supplies. These systems handle supplier relationships, purchase orders, material tracking, and procurement workflows.

At Fabitin, we work with material procurement software daily. We manage suppliers, track materials, and optimize procurement workflows. We understand these systems because we use them in our on-demand fabrication operations.

Supplier Management
Manage supplier relationships, contact information, pricing agreements, and performance tracking.
Material Tracking
Track materials from order to delivery, monitor inventory levels, and manage material specifications.
Purchase Order Management
Create, track, and manage purchase orders. Automate approval workflows and order processing.
Workflow Automation
Automate procurement workflows, approval processes, and material requisition workflows.

Why You Need a Material Procurement System

01

Reduce Manual Errors

Manual procurement processes lead to errors, delays, and missed opportunities. Automated systems reduce errors and improve accuracy.

02

Improve Supplier Relationships

Centralized supplier management helps you track performance, negotiate better terms, and maintain strong relationships.

03

Optimize Costs

Track pricing, compare suppliers, and identify cost-saving opportunities. Procurement systems help you optimize material costs.

04

Increase Efficiency

Automate workflows, reduce approval times, and streamline procurement processes. Save time and resources.

Types of Material Procurement Systems

Off-the-Shelf Solutions

Pre-built procurement software like Ariba, Coupa, or SAP Ariba. Good for standard workflows but may lack customization.

Pros

Fast implementation
Proven workflows
Support available

Cons

×Limited customization
×May not fit unique needs
×Ongoing licensing costs

Custom-Built Systems

Software built specifically for your operations. Tailored to your workflows, suppliers, and processes.

Pros

Perfect fit for your needs
Full control
No licensing fees

Cons

×Higher initial cost
×Longer development time
×Requires maintenance

Hybrid Approach

Integrate off-the-shelf solutions with custom extensions. Best of both worlds for many operations.

Pros

Faster than full custom
Some customization
Proven base

Cons

×Integration complexity
×Ongoing costs
×Potential limitations

Our Experience: Fabitin

We operate Fabitin, an on-demand fabrication startup. We work with material procurement systems daily—managing suppliers, tracking materials, and optimizing procurement workflows.

When we build procurement software or integrate systems for clients, we're applying solutions we've already proven work in our own operations. We know what works because we use it daily.

We understand procurement because we do it ourselves. This means we can build systems that actually work in real manufacturing environments.
