Master Penny

Master Penny

Master Penny is an extended enterprise resource management system which handles all the transactions and relationships that happen in a small-to-medium business. Simply, when you’re doing something in the business, you’re doing most or all of it on Master Penny.

With many years of experience, we wrote Master Penny ourselves in order to keep track of all aspects of our business, and as such, we see Master Penny as in a constant state of change and improvement as we get better at understanding the complex relationships within our business. Master Penny is not yet finished, and probably never will be.

Master Penny does lots of things:

  • Suppliers, Purchases and Stocks: placing orders with suppliers, receiving stock, capturing supplier invoices, paying suppliers, suppliers age analysis, stock-takes, capturing expensesa and recipes for transforming stock into products
