Inventory & Purchasing

Know what is on the rack, in the offcut bin and on order — right now

Profile lengths, hardware kits, glass allocations and sealant stock update from receipts, production backflush and smart reorder rules — no phantom inventory before a big façade job.

Live stock, supplier POs and offcut tracking in one operational view.

Phantom stock kills schedules and margin

Production plans around bar lengths that aren't there while offcuts nobody tracked sit in the corner of bay three.

Without integrated inventory

  • Buyers reorder from habit because nobody trusts the spreadsheet count.
  • A rush job stops when the 6m reinforcement bar 'in stock' was already consumed.
  • Offcuts worth hundreds sit unlabeled while new material gets ordered.
  • Glass POs don't reflect the schedule change from yesterday's customer call.

With inventory & purchasing

  • Receipts and production issues move stock balances in real time.
  • Reorder suggestions respect lead times, minimums and active job demand.
  • Offcut registry makes usable remnants visible before buyers place new POs.
  • Purchasing sees which jobs depend on which lines before approving expedites.

When stock is a guess

  • Month-end stocktake reveals €20k of 'missing' hardware kits.
  • Production halts on a tilt-and-turn line because espagnolette stock was double-allocated.
  • Buyers expedite air freight for profile already sitting in offcut storage.
  • Glass supplier lead times don't match the installation date sales promised.
  • Three people maintain parallel Excel lists that never agree.

When inventory matches reality

  • Single stock truth updated from goods-in, issues and completions.
  • Allocation view shows reserved material per job and unit.
  • Offcut catalog with length, profile system and location tags.
  • PO workflow with approval, partial receipt and supplier price history.
  • Demand signals from production schedule inform purchase timing.

How material flows from PO to installed unit

  1. 1

    Plan and order

    Reorder suggestions and job demand drive PO creation with supplier lead times.

  2. 2

    Receive and inspect

    Goods-in updates stock; variances flag buyer and supplier follow-up.

  3. 3

    Allocate to jobs

    Material reserves against work orders; offcuts offered before new cuts.

  4. 4

    Consume and reconcile

    Production backflush and scrap reasons keep balances honest for finance.

Inventory works hand-in-hand with these modules
