Be using your inventory management system
in five days!
Because Invendia is web-based, adopting it is as easy as selecting the processes you want to use or share, determining the roles of your users, and, using templates, loading the data. The biggest hurdle is usually getting the correct data if it has not been collected before. You determine the processes you want to map and we will guide you.
The primary reason we can implement so quickly is that we are based upon an "on demand" or ASP ( application service provider) model. This means there is no software or hardware to implement. This costly time consuming activity has already been done by us. As you pay only for the users, this saves you a lot time and dollars. You determine the process flows (what steps you want to use), import data into the templates, upload the information into Invendia, and go. It really is that easy!

Naturally you also want to get your customers on-line. We'll provide you with training and if required we will also train your customers, and their customers. The more people (customers and suppliers) using your network and extended network the greater the returns you and your customers will experience.
