Challenges in Procurement for Manufacturing
Procurement is the process of buying the parts and materials needed to build your product. It’s where plans turn into purchase orders—sourcing the right parts, from the right suppliers, at the right time.
In Aligni, procurement is tightly connected to what’s happening in your BOMs, inventory, and production plans—so you’re always buying based on real needs, not guesswork.
