What Our Clients Are Saying

Our formulas are the very foundation of our business and we like knowing they can’t get lost or corrupted, Mar-Kov’s ability to store and instantly access everything from finished goods batch numbers to raw material inventory, and chemical specifications really sold us because it gives us complete control and transparency

Stephanie KellyQuality Manager, Titan Coatings International

After 10+ years of using the same software, we were very reluctant to change. With Mar-Kov, things have worked out better than expected – we replaced all the functionality we had under our old software and have added new capabilities as well. Now we are in a really good place

John DalyPresident of Surfacelogix

With Mar-Kov, we’re more in the loop and more informed about our business and manufacturing processes. Mar-Kov has more data which is better because it provides insights and answers if anyone in management has a question.

Easy Cycle Counts

  • Schedule recurring cycle counts by location, item class, or ABC priority—no full shutdowns required.

  • Automatically restrict placement of incompatible items in shared areas. 
  • Alert staff and block transactions that violate zone rules or safety protocols.
