Features & Benefits Stock Control

Here are a few of the standard feature from the Stock Control Module.

• Hold Product to the level of detail to suit you – Take the example of a hardwood product.  It could be non-stock controlled, stocked by cubic metres, by cubic metres and pieces, a mixed width specification, or individual unique pieces.  The choice is yours, with each level of control delivering more accurate information, but needing more time for picking and recording.  Below are a few of the stock units currently on the STRIP5 system:
  • Units/Pairs/10s/dozens/100s/1000s
  • Bags/Palettes/Boxes
  • Metres/Feet
  • Cubic Metres/Feet
  • Square Metres/Feet/10 Square Metre
  • Length Specification/Mixed Width Specification
  • Kilos, Tonnes
  • Board Feet/Standards/Hoppus/Logs
  • Standard Packs/Unique Packs/Truck Bundles
• Hold each product to its own level of detail – Within a STRIP5 system every product is held to the level of detail you feel works for your business.  By giving this flexibility you can get the accuracy and control you need from the detail your operations will deliver.
  
  
• Record Product sales and usage – STRIP5 records not only how much of a product is sold, but also the quantity used.  This is a useful statistic where raw stock is used for making saleable products but not directly sold itself.
  
  
• Multiple barcodes per product – Every product can have multiple barcodes logged against it.  This helps if you use an in-house and supplier barcode, or if the supplier changes the barcode.
  
  
• Add processes to products uplifting cost and price – A User can add up to six processes onto each line, selected from a directory of standard processes.  Those processes can be made up of separate cost elements that account for set up time, run time, labour and materials used.
  
  
• Mill products and return off cuts – Mill and return lines can be added to sales and mill orders (mill orders are production for stock).  These lines show what raw materials should be used and what useable items can be returned to stock.  When the milling is done the quantities can be amended, or products exchanged, updating the cost of the finished goods and keeping stock accurate.
  
  
• Report on mill usage and cost – Reporting on mill usage gives an idea of whether the machines are being used to optimum capacity and if new machines would be worth the investment.  The notional costs from the mill can be compared to the actual overheads to analyse if an accurate working rate is being used, improve margins on future milling jobs.
