N/Compass' Purchasing Management gives you access to pinpoint information you need to make intelligent buying decisions, maximize your customer service levels, and reduce your costs associated with replacing inventory. N/Compass also allows you to control purchases of office supplies.

N/Compass will give your buyers the information they need, when they need it. Purchasing Management is interfaced to Support Net's General Ledger, Accounts Payable, and Inventory Management solutions.

  N/Compass identifies when inventory is low and automatically generates a P.O.

  Create order templates for repetitious purchase orders that can be amended and sent to specific vendors on demand.

  N/Compass gives you the ability to manage a single order over several release and vendor ship dates.
