It helps keep track of costs and inventory levels for each part, ensuring that production runs smoothly and efficiently. Manufacturers can create both simple and complex BOMs, depending on their product needs.
Inventory Management

Warehouse Management

The system supports advanced warehouse configurations such as bin and zone tracking, enabling better organization and faster fulfillment of manufacturing orders.
Quality Management
