Inventory Management & Purchasing - Shoptech The E2 Shop System

Retake control of your material purchasing and inventory management. E2 gives you the transparency you need to minimize waste and boost your margins.

You need parts, materials, and other supplies to get the job done for your customers. But ordering those materials can be a tricky task. Order too much and you have excess inventory sitting on the shelf. That’s capital that could have been used more productively.

Everyone wants to be lean, but if you order too few materials, you may come up short on completing a job. That can limit your ability to deliver on-time, and it could erode the trust your customers have in you.

One of the biggest challenges in ordering and stocking materials is that you may not have the information you need readily available. You’re ballparking or making rough, educated estimates. You can’t clearly see the tight relationship between your purchases, your inventory, and your cash flow.

Not anymore. With E2, you get the transparency and control you need to precisely manage your purchasing and inventory at all times. No more excess material wasting away in a warehouse. No more surprise shortages that cause severe delays and scrapping useful materials.

E2 gives you the power to quickly generate accurate orders to manage your materials and your cash flow better.

Your materials and ordering process have a substantial impact on your cash flow and bottom line. In a highly competitive environment, efficient ordering and materials management could make all the difference between success and failure.

E2 gives you the tools and data you need to make accurate purchasing decisions on every job. It eliminates redundant tasks and keeps your shop on a fast-moving schedule.

Know the status of your inventory at any time.

The E2 Warehousing Tool facilitates management of inventory and shipping processes across multiple locations giving you full visibility of your inventory. Warehouse codes identify which facility your parts and finished goods are stored at. Stay ahead of schedule by creating stock orders to place finished goods into inventory at the default warehouse as soon as the job rolls off the machine.

The E2 Shop System also gives you the ability to prioritize which goods are used in your production schedule. The Material Forecast Engine calculates the demand for manufactured and/or purchased parts and determines the most efficient ways to fill that need based on the ship by date of the order. With E2, the user also has control over how they review results here.

The Pick List tool shifts material allocation back to the shop floor. It allows employees using Data Collection to group designated parts that need to be picked from Inventory and scan them out when they’re ready to use those pieces.

Eliminate delays and redundant administrative tasks.

At Shoptech, we know you and your team don’t have time to manually type up multiple POs and RFQs to suppliers. That’s why we developed E2 to quickly generate those documents from your estimate or other data.

Automatically generate and send POs based on inventory levels.
Generate multiple RFQs for multiple vendors at one time.
Price and purchase materials by decimal quantity, weight, and other factors.
Forecast material needs based on usage and generate expected POs.

E2 can pull data from an earlier estimate or a previous manual entry and apply it across several different functions, including ordering. That reduces the need for repetitive data entry. You determine what documents you need and simply generate the forms.
