Commercial management software
Stocks and purchasing FICEP

Stock and purchasing management is a specific application developed according to the peculiarities of steel fabrication. This is what it makes it so different from standard purchasing applications available in the market today.

Everybody involved in managing raw material purchasing and deliveries to stock knows how difficult it is to keep everything under control especially if you work with a minimum stock policy. The BOM (Bill of Materials) that was supposed to be shipped at that time is not complete or is not exactly corresponding to what was purchased. This happens very frequently and there is no other way but to manage efficiently the balances according to the production scheduling.

Variances and disturbances to the programmed purchasing process happen everyday and they need to be managed without losing control. This tool makes the purchasing manager's life much easier.

Once the material is received several situations can occur: management of your free stock, management of customers stock hold in house, management of mill lengths or service centres and stock holders pre nested lengths. Booking of materials to stock holders and just in time deliveries of cut to length parts and nested bars are all common practices in steel fabrication. If this is your reality this is the software that would enhance your purchasing activities.
