Manage the procurement process with the right tools

Stock management & buying tools

bisTrack enterprise management tools allow you to raise purchase orders based on your own needs or 'gut feel' for the business. But you also have the option to use sophisticated stock analysis tools to automatically suggest stock replenishment levels based on stock usage metrics.

Supporting your way way of working - whatever that might beDepending on signing limits, purchase ordering rules within bisTrack can require a second user approval. Business procurement systems make this process all the more straightforward.

Matched stock receipts

Stock receipts are matched to the originating purchase order with support for multiple deliveries from the supplier, over delivery, under delivery and product substitutions.

Supplier invoice matching

Supplier invoices are matched against the original purchase order and stock receipts. Fully matched supplier invoices are passed through to accounts with, optionally, a debit note and automatic covering letter for disputed invoices.

Preferred suppliers, alternative suppliers, orders direct from supplier to customer, without you handling the stock, are all capably handled by our Purchasing Taskpad.

Benefits: Keep everything in stock that you need for your customers, without carrying excess stock. Track the paper trail from start to finish. And manage your pricing structures.

Testimonials

  • “There are other systems of course, but none have had the development time that’s behind bisTrack. I can’t believe there’s a better system out there. I’m convinced there’s nothing that can deliver better what we need.”

    Peter Buttle, md, Buttle plc

  • "The time was right for a change of software at Alsford's and we selected bisTrack from a shortlist of three. The key criteria was 'business fit'. We wanted a Microsoft Windows, intuitive solution which would best serve our claim to be 'The Timber Experts' in all our 20 branches."

    Neil Fuller, MD, Alsford Timber

  • "To stand out from the crowd, you need great customer service. Really great customer service."

    Progressive Solutions' guest blog, Builders Merchants Journal
