MRP software for less stock and on-time delivery
A min and max for every part from real consumption, and orders drafted by supplier for your buyer to approve.
Who it’s for
This offer is for the owner and the operations lead of a manufacturer or distributor in Canada or the United States. The offer is also for the buyer who places the orders.
Min and max levels are set by hand. Part of the stock never moves, and the parts an order needs run short when the order arrives.
MRP (material requirements planning) works out what to order and when. This module sets a min and a max for each part from what you consumed, and drafts an order for each supplier.
The offer fits when:
- Min and max levels were set by hand, and nobody has checked the levels against what you use.
- Some parts never move, and others keep running out.
- Your buyer builds each order from memory or a spreadsheet, one supplier at a time.
- An order sits ready to ship except for one missing part.
What you get
How it runs
After the diagnostic, six weeks to daily use.
The first stage takes six weeks. The price is set after the diagnostic and stays the same however many days the work takes. The module runs on your own workspace and keeps running after week 6. A monthly plan covers improvements and support.
What we need from you
What changes
Your buyer starts each order from a draft instead of a blank screen. Every min and max shows the consumption and lead time behind the number, so your team can check and override any part.
The measure is the stock-to-sales ratio and the working capital freed, before and after. The ratio compares the stock you hold with what you sell. The working capital freed is the cash that no longer sits in stock.
Less cash sits on the shelf, and the parts an order needs are there when the order arrives. Orders ship when promised, so invoices go out and cash comes in sooner.
After the first stage
The min and max levels and the draft orders keep running on your workspace after the first stage.
One workspace per company. Modules are added one at a time, and each new module reads the data that is already in the warehouse.
What can come next
Your parts, stock, consumption and suppliers now sit in your workspace. The next module starts from the same data.
- Sales and operations planning, which forecasts sales by product so you can buy and produce earlier.
- Advanced planning and scheduling, which shortens production lead times with a schedule built on real capacity.
- Product information management, which keeps one current, verified record for each product.
- CPQ, which prices and draws each configured quote from your real costs.
- A custom module for margins, orders, reports or any other job outside your ERP, such as margin and pricing or the order desk.
