Improve your planning processes, drive purchasing efficiencies and greater control with Sicon MRP.
Material and Resource Planning (MRP) had been designed specifically for Sage 200 to provide a manufacturing solution that is robust and efficient.
Sicon MRP utilises the Sage 200 BOM cost items to estimate your labour and machine times. As well as this, this solution links with the Sicon Works Orders Module for production dates and generates suggested purchases orders into Sage POP.
MRP will do the hard donkey work and produce your make and buy recommendations; allowing your team to spend their time more profitably, applying their experience and market knowledge to execute or ignore the suggested actions.
