Always know where material and parts are

Warehouse, Transport & Shipping

Sites, halls, areas, workstations and storage locations form a location tree. Transports, forklift jobs, putaways/retrievals, picking, truck appointments, loading and delivery notes all draw on it.

Today

Today, material costs search time.

Stock levels are updated after the fact, only individual employees know the storage locations, transport jobs are assigned verbally and shipping documents are created separately.

  • Searching for material and components on site
  • Maintaining stock levels manually after the fact
  • Assigning transport jobs verbally
  • Keeping shipping documents and delivery status separately

🚚

Truck & delivery note

This is where your team reviews and decides.

secondFactory prepares. At these points, a person confirms, corrects or deliberately approves – nothing slips through unnoticed.

Control principle →
✓

Confirm destination location

Transports are only booked once the destination location is confirmed.

✓

Check loading

Individual parts are checked by ID before they count as loaded.

✓

Confirm delivery

The delivery note is generated from the actual loading; delivery is confirmed.

Your benefits

What improves day to day.

✓

Less searching

Current location instead of knowledge in people's heads.

✓

Reliable shipping

Confirm the actual individual parts instead of lump-sum quantities.

✓

Digital material flow

Connect production, warehouse and shipping via the same identities.

Time saved through less searchingHere, you save time mainly because material no longer has to be searched for and stock levels no longer have to be updated after the fact. How large the effect is will be measured on the real workflow during the process assessment.

Applied in your industry

One module. Your business’s engineering logic.

Sheet metal & metal

Sheets, remnants, purchased parts and component containers connect to reservations and orders. Quality, picking, forklift movements, trucks and delivery notes continue the material flow.

Wood & interiors

Raw panels, hardware, cut parts and packed furniture have traceable inventory. Exhibition work adds rental stock, reservation conflicts, returns, repairs and restocking.

Explore the industry workflow →

Buildings & MEP

Material and component lists create procurement demand. Goods receipts, interim storage and delivery for installation connect design services to actual material supply.
