Material Control Management

Complete Control of Material Functions for Improved Inventory Accuracy

What is Material Control?

Material Control is a management function that is concerned with the storage, handling, and use of materials to minimize waste and improve inventory accuracy. This process can be beneficial for companies to reduce costs and improve organization and productivity.

Manage All of Your Material Functions

The Material Control Management module by WorkWise gives your Materials Personnel control over all of your company’s material functions, augmenting the capabilities provided by other WorkWise modules.

It provides the ability to direct material handlers to pick and move materials electronically for more precise control, and offers many additional capabilities.

Comprehensive Material Control Functionality

Material Control provides integration with other WorkWise ERP modules, including Mobile Inventory Control, for wireless hand-held transactions with bar-code support.
