PURCHASING AT A GLANCE is a powerful, user friendly, affordable purchasing software system designed by purchasing agents to help manage the department functions with greater ease and efficiency. PURCHASING AT A GLANCE provides features, functions, and tools to facilitate the distribution, ordering and billing of supplies and services to cost centers. The program includes requisitioning, quote generation, purchase orders, receiving and distributing, all in one package, unlike many expensive modular systems.
Our primary goal is to provide our clients with the tools necessary to help purchasing personnel make informed buying decisions that result in lower operating costs and maximum savings. The day-to-day operation of the program provides information to assist in this objective through numerous reports such as: stock histories, purchased items, departmental billing, vendor performance and many more. All of these are available at the click of a mouse.

Data from the Purchased Items Report and the Departmental Billing Report can be exported to an ASCII text file to provide accurate daily or periodic information to most accounts payable or general ledger programs. The database tables are accessible through many off the shelf programs.

PURCHASING AT A GLANCE runs in the Windows 3.1, Windows 95-98, and Windows NT operating systems. The data tables may be used on a stand-alone PC or in a network environment. Many networks including Novell, Windows NT and LANtastic, are supported. Multiple users with various security levels can be set up providing restricted access to selected data.

Our menu-driven format makes PURCHASING AT A GLANCE very easy to use. Even the novice computer user will find it easy to learn and use.

Distribute requested items to each department with unparalleled efficiency. The stock catalog incorporates numerous search options, while note fields facilitate greater communication. Delivery Lists can be easily generated. The system automatically places an item on back orders when requests exceed current inventory. A purchase order may be generated for back ordered items with the click of a button. These items are routed to the correct department when they are received. Department usage and billing reports can be generated for all items distributed.

Keep a perpetual inventory of stock items. The system automatically adjusts inventory levels as items are received and distributed. The total inventory size and value is always available on a FIFO basis.

The Automatic Reorder screen immediately generates an alert when stock items fall below their reorder level. A purchase order can then be generated with the click of a button. The system will even calculate a reorder level and quantity based on usage and defined criteria.
