Eliminate Manual Gate Pass Process with MLAI Materials Management System (MMS) / Material Gate Pass Software
In a facility, tracking the movement of material through a manual material gate pass process is cumbersome and time-consuming. There are multiple levels of paperwork involved. There is always a little extra complexity when it comes to capital goods, which is why the approval workflow differs from the normal flow. An approval process is further delayed if the person that is responsible for approving it is not present.

Returnable Gate Pass (RGP) & Non-Returnable Gate Pass (NRGP)
There is a returnable gate pass that is issued for materials that leave the premises and are returned (or materials that enter your facility and need to be returned).
