CONTROL INVENTORY TO MAINTAIN PRODUCTION LEVELS

You need inventory to be ready when you need it. Whether it’s raw materials, stock inventory, parts, or even sub-assemblies, you can't rely on a front office ERP or Excel sheet to keep up with hourly quantity changes or alert you to shortages because they are not designed to do that. You need a system that knows accurately who is consuming or increasing inventory, if they are using the correct material and if it is in compliance with the specifications set by the customer. How can you track usage and keep inventory tight if you cannot tell where it all is or has gone?

Quantum provides all the accurate information you need on your inventory, down to sub-parts, in real-time from production planning and scheduling to the builds already in process on your shop floor. Quantum keeps you ahead of the material demand, so you and your team are better prepared.

With Quantum, you have the control and end-to-end visibility you need to manage inventory.

Automatically check current inventory levels and get alerted, in advance, of any orders or jobs that will be short.
Adjust inventory as an order is released, rather than as inventory is used, preventing materials and parts from being assigned to multiple orders.
Reduce waste and ensure the correct use of raw materials in production
Track and manage inventory from goods in through shipping

Quantum provides you up-to-the-minute inventory usage information from production planning and scheduling to the builds already in process on the shop floor. Uncover hidden costs, eliminate panicked purchasing and excessive freight charges, and keep your inventory stocked and lean.

Accurate Data Improves Decision-Making and Increases Production

You will have the information you need to stay in control.
