What makes manufacturing procurement demanding
In a plant, a missing spare part can stop a line, and a delay on an imported material upsets a production schedule. Manufacturing procurement combines large volumes on a few strategic materials, a long list of technical maintenance items and often a significant share of imports, with their transport and clearance lead times.
Then there are the subcontractors working on site, whose qualification, insurance and safety rules must be checked before any order. The platform connects these topics: a stock need triggers the order, the receipt feeds supplier performance, and the import file calculates the real landed cost.

Frequently asked questions
Can we manage several plants and stores?
Yes. Each site has its stores, thresholds and approvers, while contracts and suppliers can be shared at group level.
How do we avoid stock-outs on critical parts?
Thresholds are calculated from consumption and supplier lead time, and critical items are flagged first as soon as they drop below their reorder point.
Are import costs allocated to items?
Yes. Freight, insurance, duties and forwarding are allocated by value, weight or volume, and the landed cost is passed to stock.
Must subcontractors be approved before working?
You can require it: a supplier not approved for the category cannot receive an order.
