The new purchasing dashboards in Tekla PowerFab Go offer comprehensive insights into both historical and current purchasing activities, streamlining decision-making processes for purchasing teams, project managers, and financial departments.

The dashboards provide detailed charts and statistics on purchasing habits, including analysis by time, supplier, job, and materials. This access to otherwise unavailable data allows you to analyze material pricing trends, job costing, and outstanding deliveries, aiding you in making informed decisions and negotiating with suppliers.
