Industries

To improve customer service, increase efficiencies, and capitalize on business opportunities, fluid power distributors regularly send stock items out of the warehouse to be assembled or reworked to meet customers' requests.

Designed for distributors who process material after it is received from the vendor but before it is sent to the customer, Prophet21 tracks multi-stage secondary processes like assemblies, plating, and rework.

For example, if you send the components of a pump out of the office for assembly, Prophet21 will track purchase orders, costing, and quantities, as well as the period of time the inventory is off your premises, allowing for better inventory control. Prophet21 will start tracking these processes automatically, upon receipt of material. However, you also have the option of starting secondary processes manually.

Prophet21 also manages inventory sent for secondary processing through a Work in Progress account. The Work in Progress account helps you track inventory for financial and inventory evaluation purposes - so you always know how much is in stock, how much is available, and to whom it is allocated. Additionally, Prophet21 accounts for unexpected costs and losses in your processes - such as shrinkage or damage - ensuring you always stay profitable.
