Order Management Software Recommendations
Discussion
Does anyone have any recommendations for order management software we should consider/avoid?
I am in the early stages with a client who has a growing business which has been able to manage with excel spreadsheets up until now but is labour intensive/ prone to mistakes etc. etc.
They wholesale ~500 different product lines across 2 (small) factories according to the orders they received. Each product requires a number of components (sometimes up to 20) to be ordered in, stored/organised in their warehouse and then manufactured/scheduled on one of their production lines. Once past quality control, they are then shipped and invoiced.
Key must haves:
Procurement management - Working out how much of each component needs to be ordered from suppliers based on what is already in stock and the orders received over the past ~ 1-2 week(s).
Warehouse management - Tracking receipt of components, where they have been stored in the warehouse down to carton/pallet level
Would be nice:
Scheduling onto production lines
A quality feedback loop (i.e. were too many components ordered?)
Shipping Configurations (what products on what pallet etc.)
Finance / Invoicing tie up.
What software product(s) do you use to help you with this? Did you find it customisable to your needs?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

My software company has developed a bespoke system which does the above. We're currently live with three clients and are doing quite a bit of consultancy / business process re-engineering with them not just building software for them. Theres a link in my profile. Happy to have a chat to find out more about what you do and how we might be able to help.

Thanks, looks like it could be a good fit. Looking to firm up what they need over the next few weeks then start to identify potential solutions. Will be in touch.Gassing Station | Business | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
