There is also an additional requirement for functionality of the software which should include vendor evaluation, purchase order initiation, external document management and customer relationship tracking. The software must be specifically tailored to job shop related duties in order to handle changing requirements (i.e. changing quantities, delivery dates, etc.). Technical support is also needed to install the software onsite. Further support is required to assess the data transfer requirements for moving existing data into the new software, implement the software to ensure functionality and train the designated onsite personnel as required to stand up the entire system.
