frequently asked questions
We built Digit to make complex operations simple—and that includes our answers. Here’s everything you should know before getting started.
Can Digit convert between units of measure during purchasing and receiving?
Chevron down icon

Yes. Digit automatically converts between units of measure (UoMs) when purchasing, storing, or receiving materials.

For example, if your vendor sells raw material in cases but you stock it in pounds, Digit will handle the conversion automatically. The same applies to vendors who use different SKUs or packaging units. Digit stores both the vendor’s SKU and your internal item code, linking them together so quantities, costs, and inventory levels always stay accurate.

This eliminates confusion and ensures you always know exactly how much material you’re buying, receiving, and using — no manual math or conversion errors required.

Can I receive items at different sites?
Chevron down icon

Yes. Digit fully supports receiving at multiple locations, including your own warehouses and contract manufacturers.

When receiving goods, you can select the destination site directly on the receiving screen. The system updates quantities, costs, and traceability data in real time for each specific location. You can also receive partially across sites if a shipment is split or delivered in stages.

Digit maintains full visibility across all warehouses, storage bins, and external manufacturing partners. That means every receipt, batch, and lot is traceable from purchase to final consumption, no matter where it was received.

Does Digit integrate with accounting tools like QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop?
Chevron down icon

Yes. Digit integrates directly with QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop. 

When connected, vendors, items, and cost data stay synchronized between Digit and your accounting software. Purchase orders can be pushed into QuickBooks as bills with a single click, keeping financial records and operational data aligned automatically.

This eliminates manual data entry, reduces reconciliation work, and ensures your books reflect what’s actually happening on the floor. Your procurement, warehouse, and accounting teams always share the same source of truth for every order, vendor, and cost.

How does Digit track supplier quality?
Chevron down icon

Digit continuously tracks supplier performance so you can make data-driven purchasing decisions. Each purchase order and receipt records delivery accuracy, quantities received, and any rejected or quarantined materials.

You can define custom reject reasons — for example, “damaged packaging” or “failed inspection” — to categorize quality issues consistently. The system then compiles these metrics into supplier reports showing on-time delivery rates, rejection frequency, and quality trends over time.

This gives you a complete picture of supplier reliability and helps identify where problems originate. Over time, it allows you to improve supplier relationships, negotiate better terms, and ensure your purchasing decisions are backed by measurable performance data.

How does a purchase management software work?
Chevron down icon

A purchase management software centralizes everything involved in buying materials, from planning to purchase order creation to receiving and cost tracking. Instead of juggling spreadsheets, emails, and paper POs, your entire procurement process runs in one connected system.

In Digit, purchase management starts with planning. The system looks at your forecasts, current stock, open sales orders, and scheduled production to show what needs to be purchased and when. From there, you can create purchase orders directly from item lists or sales orders, choose the right vendor, and set the expected delivery date.

Once materials arrive, you can receive them in full, partially, or into quarantine for inspection. Digit automatically updates inventory quantities, costs, and supplier performance records. Every item, batch, and location stays connected so you can track materials from the moment they’re ordered to the moment they’re used in production.

What are the key features of a purchase management system?
Chevron down icon

The best purchase management systems connect planning, purchasing, receiving, and accounting in one platform. Key features include:

  • Forecast-based planning: View material requirements based on real-time sales and production schedules.
  • Flexible purchase order creation: Create POs instantly with vendor-specific details like lead times, MOQs, and SKUs.
  • Receiving workflows: Receive goods in full, partially, or into quarantine; add labels, notes, images, and documents during receiving.
  • Batch and lot tracking: Maintain complete traceability for every material with expiration dates, lot numbers, and weight tracking.
  • Quality control: Track supplier performance, delivery accuracy, and reject reasons to manage quality over time.
  • Vendor and cost visibility: Compare pricing, lead times, and historical costs across vendors.
  • Accounting integration: Sync vendors, items, and POs to your accounting software to eliminate duplicate data entry.

Digit brings all of these together so your team can move faster, stay accurate, and plan ahead with confidence.

What size of business needs a purchase management software?
Chevron down icon

Any business that regularly buys, receives, or tracks materials benefits from a purchase management system. It’s not only for large manufacturers — small and mid-sized companies often see the biggest gains because they move away from manual processes that create delays and errors.

If your team uses spreadsheets to manage purchasing, struggles to track what’s been ordered or received, or frequently runs into stockouts or excess inventory, a system like Digit can make an immediate impact.

Digit is designed for growing businesses that need powerful tools without the overhead of a full ERP. It’s flexible enough for small teams but scalable for multi-location operations, distributors, and contract manufacturers.
