Purchasing management software for ships
MPS
Marine Software Limited
The onboard system is capable of being a full purchasing system both requisitioning and placing orders, or just a requisitioning system, which then transmits the orders to the shore side office system for placing with a supplier.
The office system is a full purchasing system capable of communicating with multiple ships at the same time or individual ships.
Purchase orders can be produced manually from scratch, from a company catalogue pick list, by browsing an attached stock system, from a purchase order template produced from a copy of a previous order, or as a work order for services. Also quotes for any of the orders can be produced.
Once the orders are produced they can be outputted in a number of ways, printed out and posted, faxed or emailed. Both the faxing and emailing are done within the programs themselves without having to exit the program.
The systems also contain a budget section showing an overview of the whole ships spending budget or individual ship sections. Each individual budget is split in to monthly sections enabling full control of each sections monthly spending. Detailed reports for the whole budget or the individual sections can be produced and printed out.
