Looking for that "competitive edge?" The N/Compass Inventory System can help you reduce costs and generate higher profits.

N/Compass Inventory features "on demand" creation of standard analysis and reporting or customize for your own management requirements. A streamlined transaction process offers speedy entry of issues and receipts.

The N/Compass Inventory System gives you the tools you need to identify trends, weed out slow moving items and insure against stock-outs. Provides direct interface to other N/Compass modules - Billing, Purchasing, and General Ledger, if installed.

  • Multiple Units of Measure and Multiple Costing
    Order by the gross, but sell by the case, the carton and each? N/Compass can handle them all. Perfect for the distributor or light assembler. Maintain multiple costing methods, including standard, average, last purchase, and lot average.
  • Multiple Warehouse Locations
    Stock the same item in several bins? N/Compass lets you designate unlimited locations, and you can track lot-sensitive or serialized items with no worries.
  • Multiple Warehouses Within Order
    Fill that hot order from any or several of your warehouses. N/Compass Inventory manages all of the picking and history tracking.
  • Flexible Inventory Quantities
    Millions and millions, or fractional inventory? It's a snap with N/Compass - you can support eleven digit fields or keep track down to three decimal places.
  • Kit Processing
    This value-added feature allows you to build a single or multiple level bill of materials and group several products into a single stock-keeping unit.
  • Average Daily Usage
    Want to know how long your inventory will last at the current sales rate? N/Compass will calculate it by the warehouse.
  • Analysis and Management Reporting
    With N/Compass Inventory, you have the tools to calculate profits, sales, and turns; create an inventory spreadsheet; or with a single prompt, prepare a forecast for that next sales meeting!
  • Web-Enablement
    With the "e-business" features in the next release of N/Compass, your customers can check stock availability right on your web-site! And, if you're using the Support Net Billing/Order Entry System, orders can be submitted with a couple of clicks!
