Timber Merchants
Whoever said size isn't everything clearly wasn't a timber merchant.
As a merchant trading in measured product, you'll be very aware of the difficulties involved in length reporting products accurately.
Well, we’ve got good news for you.
Merchanter gives you the ability to monitor and report by length, width and thickness of product, giving the kind of detailed insights into stock movement, sales and replenishment that generic software simply can’t do.
When you can see at a glance how different length products are moving through the business, you can make smart decisions about selling, replenishing and stocking.
See all Timber Packs in detail with shipping and certification information, with total volume and pieces broken down into length specification.
Get incredible insight into the movement and performance of stock by length, perfect for timber merchants.
Hold each cross section of timber to a specification of lengths.
See all lengths on one stock display and enter multiple lengths on one order line.
Sounds simple – but most systems can’t do it!
We help increase accuracy in volume, reduce waste, and boost your profits.
See timber expressed in imperial and metric measure, and switch instantly between units of measure live in an order.
Purchase timber in imperial, then stock and sell it by metric measure – it’s simple to use and makes processing mixed measures a breeze.
Mill and Return lines improve the description of processing required, adding the right information to the cost and selling price of a job to ensure you are making a sensible margin every time.
You can also send material to Outworkers for additional processing.
Hold each type of product to the level of stock detail that is relevant.
Valuable hardwoods can be controlled to a mixed width specification, while sheet materials can be sold by the unit sheet.
Know what you have brought and sold by volume or full chain of custody.
