Our projects addressed to furniture manufacturers and resellers are supporting following processes
Poland is one of the biggest furniture manufacturers in Europe. Around 80% products is being exported.
xcactus created software supporting manufacturing process for couple customers in Poland.
xcactus also created software supporting ordering and logistics for EU reseller cooperating with multiple manufacturers.
Manufacturing process can be supported by tools like Material Requirements Planning (MRP) covering:
Our systems are helping you managing all above.
Specific variations of your manufacturing process can be addressed. We delivered system supporting furniture manufacturing starting from bare wood, covering full process of wood processing to get furniture subparts, ending on building a final product. We can deliver solutions answering all your needs, not compromising your processes.
Managing complex processes is much easier when you have detailed information about stages of all subprocesses. If you first need to manufacture subparts, information about its status is important for the rest of the manufacturing process.
QR codes are convenient way to inform system that manufacturing is moved from one stage to another. Manufacturing environment is not electronic devices friendly. QR codes readers are more durable and using it is simpler than using mouse and keyboard. Scanning QR code can trigger other activities when manufacturing reach specific stage.
In most cases sales orders are triggering manufacturing process. Sales Order management is key place for managing products availability, manufacturing and also it is a source of information for the customer, about their's order status, delivery date, etc.
Manufacturing products on time requires supply chain process working correctly. All materials have to be ordered and delivered from the suppliers on-time. All required for manufacturing parts have to be stocked before are needed.
Purchase orders are type of orders used for ordering materials from the suppliers. When delivered, it is updating your inventory to reflect current state.
Customer service is responsible for supporting all the claims referred to sales orders. Keeping track of claims is helping improving quality of the products and services. When product must be manufactured again, this information is stored in the system and can be easily connected to manufacturing request.
Both materials used to manufacture a product and final products are stored in the warehouse.
Managing warehouse inventory is crucial part of manufacturing process.
Depending of your manufacturing process you may store in the warehouse following items:
Depending on specific requirements, like shipment planning or complex management of warehousing space, different logic can be added to the system. QR codes can be also used for managing warehouse inventory.
Materials and finished products are moved between different locations. Depending on type of manufactured goods, its moving can be simple or complex. xcactus is supporting custom types of shipments, based on zip codes, package sizes, transportation type, etc. It can be connected with warehouse management, e.g. to identify location of the products.
