A Better Purchasing Platform
Purchasing is easy when it's connected directly to your shop's work. StartProto automatically suggests what to purchase to complete your active orders or to keep you stocked on essential inventory according to your minimum stock levels.
Unblock Production with Stock Thresholds
Stay ahead of stock shortages to avoid unnecessary delays.
- Send automatic notifications to your purchasing team when it's time to replenish materials—before an operator tells you you're out.
- Avoid last-minute rush fees and charges.
- Easily track all outstanding POs, late orders, and time-sensitive orders.
Simplify Procurement with Real-Time Suggestions
Streamline purchasing by receiving live recommendations based on on-hand stock, existing orders, and future demand.
- Centralize vendor data in StartProto—including preferences, pricing, and lead times—to make informed decisions on order fulfillment.
- Quickly create orders from the automatic suggestions and edit to suit your needs.
- Customize purchase orders to include custom line items, attachments, certifications, and receipts.
