Sourcing and purchasing

Manage purchasing and replenishing all in one system. Bright Source allows you to manage supplier profiles and create purchase orders in draft mode before submitting the order.

A fully integrated, intelligence supplier selection process for sourcing

Manage supplier profiles

Create and manage supplier profiles filled with data such as payment terms, reorder points, minimum purchase amounts, unit costs, and lead times. Empowered with the ability to track vendor SKUs, shopping across multiple vendors for the best price on an item is simple. 

Draft mode for purchasing

Create purchase orders in draft mode directly in the system. Once your purchasing team has finalized the purchasing order, submit it to vendors for bidding on new purchase orders all in the system. Great for seasonal planning.

Real-time visibility of inventory receipts

Access full real-time visibility of receipts in receiving in the warehouse at the corporate office. Bright Source allows your purchasing team to adjust future orders based on the current inventory level and how well those items are selling. Obtain received receipts across all third-party logistics networks used for an enterprise view of all purchasing orders.
