Find the Right Fit

  • A two-level deep BOM (Bill Of Material) in ABECAS Insight supports kitting and assembly. Count on Argos to help you manage inventory and how inventory charges impact your bottom line. Minimal data entry is needed by staff.
  • Storage Charges are handled however you and your customers need them. Choose Bill Ahead, Bill Behind, Free Days, Grace Periods, and more unique options. With ABECAS Insight, you can even charge the customer using a combination of area, item, and location-driven calculations. Argos Software has the functionality you need to run your business profitably.

It will help you see exactly where your business is more (and less) profitable. This real-time tool means you can make adjustments any time, not just once in a while.
  • Modules for Payroll, HR, and more are all part of the ABECAS Insight system. With our flexible software, you only add the features you need when you need them.
