1. Purchasing connected to production
Purchase orders follow work order requirements, not separate lists.

At ManuFuture, working with suppliers and subcontractors took a great deal of time. Today purchasing connects to production, and it is always clear what was sent, what arrived and what is missing. When something runs late, they know at once.
Working with suppliers and subcontractors took constant follow-up: what was ordered, what went out for processing, what came back and what was still missing.
Purchase orders follow work order requirements, not separate lists.
Parts sent out for processing and received back are managed in one place.
Receipts and supplier CoCs stay with the order line.
When something is missing or running late, the system drafts an email to the supplier with the details. The team checks it and sends it in one click.
It is always clear what arrived and what is missing, without searching or asking.
Following up on suppliers no longer takes up the day.
The order, the receipt and the documents are connected.
Anything running late shows up at once, with a draft email for the supplier.
