The FCS business management software offers you a fully modular system that can be operated from either a Server for 'Multi-User' networks, or from a desktop PC for a 'Single-User', or as unique 'Stand-Alone' modules for those businesses that only need a small part of the system, with the fully integrated software being marketed as a highly sophisticated package incorporating an 'Options' feature, which allows variable parametric and product options like colour, size etc. to be easily entered, or changed, on common or standard components, without the need for a freshly created item or Bill of Materials each time, and which also makes it simpler and quicker to put together a product quotation or order on the SOP system, and establish the associated Costing's for each item, whilst also keeping visibility of each quotation until it becomes a firm order, when it can then be automatically added to the Distribution Planning criteria, and pass through to the next MRP run in order to establish Works and Purchase Order requirements.
