Problems

When the PO moves by hand, production waits.

When the PO moves by hand, production waits.

Someone opens the PO, maps the part numbers, checks the price against the quote, and chases what's missing before the floor can start.

Customer part numbers, not yours

Someone maps every line to your internal part numbers before the order can move.

Prices that don't match the quote

A unit price is off by a few cents, and nobody catches it until the invoice gets disputed.

Blanket releases keyed one by one

Every scheduled release arrives as another email that someone has to enter by hand.

Change orders buried in email

A revised quantity or date lands in an inbox, and the floor builds to the old number.

Customers waiting on a ship date

The acknowledgment sits in someone's queue instead of going back to the customer.

Portals someone has to log into

Your biggest customers post POs to their portal, and someone downloads each one.

Waits for your approval. Then enters the sales order.
