When every department runs its own system, nobody sees the whole order.

  • SellQuotes and sales orders
  • PlanForecast and MRP
  • BuyPurchase orders and receipts
  • BuildWork orders and scheduling
  • ShipWarehouse and fulfillment
  • CloseCosting and the general ledger

One system for the way you manufacture.

Most manufacturers run more than one production model. GoldFinch supports each of them in the same system, with the same inventory, purchasing, and financials underneath.
