Improve Customer Satisfaction and Minimize Cost

- Know where your business is. Ensure a steady supply of materials by optimizing and automating your purchasing process.
- Employ multiple valuation methods. Value your inventory using standard cost, moving average, FIFO, and item specific methods. Select a different valuation method for each inventory item. Make direct adjustments to cost and physical inventory count using report and inquiry screens.
