One system, from the vendor's quote to the customer's invoice
Dowel runs procurement, manufacturing, inventory, logistics, sales and reporting on one ledger, so every team works from the same numbers and every number has a source.
One order, end to end
From the quote to the paid invoice, every stage adds to the same record. Nothing is exported, nothing is typed twice.

Buy from anywhere, with every price checked
Plan a buying round once and Dowel turns it into a purchase order for each vendor. Proformas are read and matched line by line, deposits and balances are tracked per order, and nothing moves forward without the right approval.
Orders split by vendor
One order for the round, one purchase order per vendor, each on its own terms.
Proformas checked
Every line matched to your product and compared with the last price you agreed.
Approvals
Rules by amount, vendor or price change, with a record of who approved what.
Payments in any currency
Deposits and balances per order, at the exchange rate you booked.
Vendor catalog
What each vendor supplies, at what price, minimum and lead time.
Vendor performance
On-time delivery and price history for every vendor, side by side.
Turn parts into products, on a plan
Keep a recipe for everything you build. Plan the day from what is on the shelf, give the crew a floor sheet and record what came off the line. Parts leave stock, finished goods arrive, and the value follows.
