Improve Cashflow
Cashflow is the lifeblood of any business and of paramount importance to survival and controlled growth. FactoryMaster MRP software enables you to run as a lean manufacturer, only buying what you need when you need and minimising working capital requirement.

Retain existing customer base
It costs 8 times as much to acquire a new customer than to retain an existing one. You are more likely to retain a customer if you can achieve consistent delivery on time and with a competitive price.

Enhance business confidence
What would make you decide to buy from another business? We would want to have confidence in their ability to deliver a quality product on time at a competitive price, managed by a professional company.

Increase Sales
If cashflow is the lifeblood of a business, acquiring new customers and sales are not far behind. FactoryMaster gives you the ability to track all interactions you have with customers and prospects to see what you have done for them and when. It also provides a detailed breakdown of costs involved in your products so you can quote competitively knowing you are still making an appropriate margin.

Clear product profitability
Companies quite often unwittingly sell products at a loss because they cannot access accurate costing data. FactoryMaster MRP software provides you with an instant detailed cost breakdown, even down to the smallest part if necessary, so you can instantly see where you are, or more importantly aren't, making a profit.

Comprehensive customer activity
Is knowing your customers a good thing or a bad thing? It's hard to argue that it is a bad thing and if you believe that you need to gain the confidence of your customer then this is the kind of attention to detail that you need to show. Having all the information to support you at the click of a button can only help enhance your reputation with the customer.

Help achieve quality mark accreditations
Modern manufacturing companies compete heavily on quality and innovation. Quality mark accreditation is becoming more of a necessity than an item of choice. Quality accreditation can differentiate you against the competition. FactoryMasters manufacturing software already helps many companies gain and maintain their quality mark accreditation. It provides the context, controls and visibility of the vital elements that underpin most quality mark accreditations.

Increase profitability and productivity
Exercising tight financial control over business activities directly relates to profitability of individual products and the overall bottom line. FactoryMasters manufacturing software helps you monitor all aspects of your productivity, which in turn directly enhances your profitability.

Enhance delivery performance
What is the effect on your business of late delivery by a supplier? Would you do more business with such a supplier?
