SupplyWorks MAX is a complete solution for manufacturers trying to fill the functionality gap between their MRP/ERP systems and their suppliers. It accepts requirements from MRP/ERP and provides a full complement of features for managing those requirements, communicating them to suppliers, and authorizing, triggering, and tracking supplier shipments.

The SupplyWorks user interface has been designed for ease of use by buyers and suppliers alike, with only a Web browser as a pre-requisite. Using the intuitive web model, it offers point and click drill-downs to all relevant detail information, including part details, part usage histories, supplier details, inventory levels, shipment and ASN status, etc.  Multiple communication mechanisms such as e-mail, fax and pager are supported to insure usability and ease of adoption by every supplier.
