Purchasing

Streamline procurement and purchasing

Optimize your spend, right-size your stock and smooth out your purchasing process to save time, increasing cash flow and delighting customers

Fast, accurate receiving

Create effortless traceability across your whole inventory lifecycle, from the moment stock arrives. Replace lengthy, error-prone data entry with barcode scanning with Cin7 Core. Integrate serial and batch number tracking to see every component, product and batch from one place.

Because of Cin7 Core, we know that the system is accurate, and when it comes to planning and ordering inventory, the cycle time for that is a lot shorter as well.

Automate stock availability

Never keep another customer waiting. Trigger purchase-orders at low-stock thresholds to minimize backorders and have continual fulfillment. Use forecasting tools (like inventory velocity reports) to keep replenishment aligned with demand.

Simplify supplier management

Visualize every vendor relationship in one place to see order history, payments (including prepayments and deposits) and more. Apply payments to multiple invoices for simple purchasing processes, and convert currencies to simplify financial analysis.

Unlock strategic purchasing

Go beyond product-in, product-out with advanced purchasing capabilities. Tie multiple stock shipments and invoices to single orders for zero-effort management, faster turnarounds and greater flexibility.
