Manufacturers frequently experience demand that fluctuates daily and seasonally, so it can be a challenge to stay on top of production needs with traditional systems.
Modern manufacturing software needs to handle both process and discrete manufacturing and track materials as they move through any production or assembly process. A good system should also provide quick information about the chain of activity in the event of a surprise inspection or recall. Wherefour's start-to-finish traceability™ is ideal for keeping damaged or malfunctioning products from reaching the market.
Plan daily production needs from standing customer orders, or use Wherefour's B2B ordering portal to let wholesale customers place and manage their own orders online. Alerts are generated when new orders come in, and your production can adjust accordingly.
Whether you private-label, co-manufacturer or produce your own line of products, Wherefour's manufacturing software modules support and maintain your requirements for the R&D, production, inventory control, quality, costing, lot traceability, serialization, planning, scheduling, and warehousing of your products.
Wherefour's flexible production module lets you design a custom workflow for production or packaging that matches the process you are already doing. Overhead, like labor or unexpected costs for a specific production run, can also be added and included in COGS automatically.
Unlike many traditional ERPs, Wherefour's platform lets you create variable results from each batch, or even run a disassembly process where something is purchased and broken into new ingredients that are then used in other products.
Custom (and automatic) lot code, barcode or serial number sequences that incorporate batch date, expiration date, julian date, facility, location, etc.
Automatically pull ingredients and supplies via FIFO, FEFO, LIFO or on a per-batch need.
Print GS1, Code 128 or Code 93 barcodes for product, inventory, package or pallet labels.
Automatic alerts for expiring products or ingredients reaching low levels.
