Manufacturing Companies

If you are a manufacturing company, NolaPro has tools available to help manage the manufacturing process.

  • We provide a Build Order system (Inventory -> Home -> Manage Build Orders), which can track the manufacture of final inventory items constructed from subcomponents.
  • We have an Inventory Breakdown add-on (Inventory -> Items -> Item Breakdown), which assists in the process of splitting up inventory items into sub-pieces (ex. steel bars cut to various sizes).
  • Our job costing tool (Income -> Jobs) allows you to add items to an order for costing purposes where an order might be a custom built end-product for a customer.
  • Our Process Stages add-on (Admin -> System -> Process Stages) allows you to create a custom flow for how orders are handled. You can track orders as they are moved from step to step through your preferred process.
  • We also have add-ons to import bill of materials (BOM) definitions and build orders, and also to automatically create BOM items during the shipping process.
  • If you need detailed and historical tracking of where items are stored within warehouses, you can turn on the Location within Warehouse History add-on. When editing item locations the system will show where the product has been stored in the facility previously. Combined with the Warehouse Zones add-on you can have detailed tracking of where exactly product is stored. The warehouse, zone, and bin designations can help make the process of physical and cycle counts more structured and efficient.
  • If you need to manage moving products between warehouse or branch locations, NolaPro provides an in-depth transfer tool. You can manage the picking process for outgoing inventory through to receiving incoming goods with task assignment to specific users for managing either or both ends of transfers.
  • You can also designate a location as a distribution center with our Distribution Center Reordering add-on. This feature can help you manage the flow of goods from a central location out through the other branches of your enterprise.
