The inventory management module is a must-have when working with
customers and suppliers. This way, the company’s staff will always be aware of
what’s left in their warehouse and what is to be ordered.
Custom ERP system makes inventory management more flexible and keeps a
stable inventory level. So the staff can simply forget about situations when
something a client ordered is out of stock.

Building detailed reports takes a lot of time, still, how else would managers

Daily, monthly, quarterly and yearly reports creation and printing is now a
matter of a few minutes. And by using filters, the staff will remain sure that
their reports contain only relevant details.
