What is Material Control?
Material Control is a management function that is concerned with the storage, handling, and use of materials to minimize waste and improve inventory accuracy. This process can be beneficial for companies to reduce costs and improve organization and productivity.
Manage All of Your Material Functions
The Material Control Management module gives your Materials Personnel control over all of your company’s material functions, augmenting the capabilities provided by other discrete ERP modules. It provides the ability to direct material handlers to pick and move materials electronically for more precise control, and offers many additional capabilities.
