BUILT FOR THE WAY ENGINEERING WORKSJOBS MATERIALS PROCUREMENT
THE CHALLENGE
Engineering is complex. Your systems shouldn’t be.
When job requirements, stock and purchasing live in different places, the details that keep work moving can be difficult to see.
Good decisions depend on connected information. Recon connects those pieces in a single workflow.
Shortages surface too late
Disconnected stock records make it harder to see what is available and what needs sourcing.
Purchasing loses context
Manual quote chasing and scattered decisions make the trail from job to order harder to follow.
THE CONNECTED WORKFLOW
One connected workflow. From requirement to receipt.
A clear path from the engineering work in front of you to the materials needed to complete it.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
A little more detail.
The essentials about Recon and its connected workflows.
What is Recon Supply Solutions?
Recon Supply Solutions is a UK-based engineering software business with a platform connecting engineering jobs, materials, inventory and procurement.
Who is the platform designed for?
It is designed for small and medium-sized engineering and manufacturing businesses, including machine shops, fabricators and engineering subcontractors.
How does the procurement workflow work?
Recon connects job material requirements to shortages, supplier RFQs, recorded quotations, comparison, manager-approved sourcing and draft purchasing. Supplier RFQ communications are preview-only.
Can it help manage engineering material shortages?
Recon can identify uncovered job material requirements alongside stock and allocations, helping teams see what needs sourcing.
Does it support supplier quotation comparison?
Yes. Recon can capture and compare supplier offers, including recorded material prices and delivery charges. Comparisons support a human purchasing decision.
Does the platform automatically place purchase orders?
No. Purchasing decisions require human review and approval. The workflow prepares draft purchasing; it does not autonomously place orders.
