Hose Tracking

Features Specific to the Fluid Power Industry


When a customer requests a 36-inch hose, he wants one continuous length - not one stretch of 30 inches and another of 6 inches. Therefore, keeping track of the amount of hose on the rolls in your warehouse is important to your customers' satisfaction - and vital to your profitability.

Prophet21's hose tracking capabilities ensure efficient and profitable product management. The solution tracks how much product is available on each roll and from where orders should be pulled. For example, if a customer requests 40 inches of hose, the solution will direct warehouse employees to pull the order from Reel A - with 43 inches of hose - rather than Reel B - with 1,000 inches of hose. In fact, the solution will even suggest selling the customer 43 inches of hose to reduce the chance of 3 inches of scrap. Prophet21 will then subtract the sum from the roll's total, eliminating guessing games and inventory discrepancies. You can assign rolls numeric or alphabetic names, or identify them by manufacturers' specified rolls numbers.

Prophet21 ensures that you always know how much hose is in your warehouse - and that you sell every last inch of it.
