Introduction
When your business needs to maintain a product & part inventory, the needs arises to have CommitCRM have the ability to talk to your Inventory Solution software, in order to keep your inventory lists up to date. Using CommitCRM, you can have the system easily update your inventory without having to manually enter the information again into your inventory software.
Suggestions
The items stored in CommitCRM are only kept for billing purposes, and are not used in any inventory tracking capacity; however, the charges can be used to pass quantity information to 3rd party inventory solution software. For now, customers who also manage inventory have 3 alternatives that are usually enough.
Export
- By exporting your charges, you can later import the charge list into a 3rd party inventory application, which will automatically correct the inventory list according to the imported list. This method can be done once a day/week, or even a few times a day.
