We use material procurement software daily at Fabitin. Here's everything you need to know about procurement systems, how they work, and why manufacturing companies need them.
Material procurement software is a system that helps manufacturing companies manage the entire process of sourcing, ordering, tracking, and managing materials needed for production.
It automates supplier management, purchase orders, material tracking, inventory levels, and procurement workflows. Instead of managing materials with spreadsheets and emails, procurement software centralizes everything in one system.
The system identifies what materials are needed based on production schedules, inventory levels, and material specifications. It calculates quantities, lead times, and reorder points.
The system helps you find and compare suppliers, check availability, compare prices, and select the best supplier for each material. It maintains supplier databases and performance metrics.
Generate purchase orders automatically or manually, send them to suppliers, track approvals, and manage PO workflows. The system handles approvals, notifications, and documentation.
Track materials from order to delivery. Monitor shipment status, receive materials, update inventory, and handle quality checks. The system updates inventory levels automatically.
Integrate with inventory systems to update stock levels, trigger reorders, and maintain accurate material counts. The system ensures materials are available when needed for production.
Procurement software automates workflows, reducing procurement time by 50% or more. No more emails, spreadsheets, or manual tracking.
