MARKUS® Buying is a purchase order processing system initially designed by a construction industry buyer for his own use. Over the years the product has been enhanced to include many features that tailor it towards the construction, maintenance and service industries. The product, which has been rewritten several times over the decade and half we have been selling it, has kept pace with technological advances and users expectations for scalability, reliability and usability.

From experience, we know that our clients need the ability to place an order with additional information for delivery instructions or order requirements. On the other hand, some clients place orders that require the user to place an order without providing specific details such as quantity or delivery date. With this in mind, we designed the MARKUS® Buying System specifically for the construction industry.

With the ability to handle a wide-range of daily activities including requisitions, orders, deliveries and invoice passing, the MARKUS® Buying System is a stand-alone package that is also capable of interfacing with accounting systems. Furthermore, to reflect the reality of supplier company structure, MARKUS® is able to support groups of companies, each of whom have many branches and contacts.

Optionally, deliveries and invoices can be recorded on our systems. In this eventuality, users can access order, delivery and requisition information from within the office or via the Internet.

With usability as our main priority, data entry is designed to be adaptable, allowing for increased clarity, enhanced report generation and cross-referencing.

Once entry is complete, the user has the choice to fax, email or print the details of an order and send it to the supplier.
