Inventory

If your shop maintains inventory on hand or relies on outside purchases from suppliers, part management is very important to overall profitability. The Inventory module extends the parts management capabilities of R.O. Writer by enabling you to enter, edit, and procure parts. Inventory can include stocked, non-stocked, or consigned parts.

These powerful tools create a disciplined approach to parts management that can help your shop be more productive, help reduce the amount of unnecessary inventory you stock, which could result in increased profits.
