• Flexible/skip lot sampling plans, enables companies to inspect a fraction of a lot and realize reduced quality and material handling costs, faster material throughput and less redundant and destructive testing.  
• Approved customer lists, especially important when dealing with controlled substances and branded products, offers control over what products a given customer can buy and when they can buy them.  
• Vendor scorecards/vendor qualification reporting, provides the ability to rate vendors based on their delivery, quality, cost and consistency.
