The Purchase module in CommerceCore™ is fully integrated into the Inventory and Sales modules. For drop-shipping processes, automatic purchases processes are triggered. Similarly, when stock levels are falling low CommerceCore™ allows an easy forward path to trigger procurement processes.

The focus is to provide an easy user experience for company purchasers to ensure timely procurement.
