Coil Tagging and Tracking Software: A Must Have

Coil Tagging and Tracking Software: A Must Have

Coil Tagging & Tracking

As part of the Metal Construction Industry, you know that tracking coils is of the utmost importance to your business. Any company in the Metal Construction Industry realizes the significance of tracking coils throughout their entire product life cycle. The cost per coil greatly influences a company’s bottom line. The often time-consuming and paper-ridden process of tracking coils can be automated. Automating this process can reduce operational costs and improve efficiency. The solution: Coil Tagging and Tracking Software.

Coil Tagging and Tracking Software is the perfect solution for anyone who has to manage coils. Coil traceability is necessary whether you manage your own coils, or coils for your customers. The costs of slitting, cropping, or coating can be easily tracked with the software, and related back to the cost of the coil. The software can help you manage your inventory based upon grade, width, length, date of purchase and delivery, manufacturer name, and the weight of coil.

Inventory Management of Coils is another important factor when handling coils. It is vital to be able to track inventory levels, costs, prices, transaction history, and location. Tracking coils allows you to maintain costs on several levels, as well as update costs based on multiple variables. It is possible to handle an unlimited number of warehouse locations, serialized and lot-controlled items, and allow for the inclusion of freight in/out, direct, and indirect costs of the item. It is also possible to attach notes to any item which can then be made to automatically print on purchase orders, quotes, sales orders, and invoices.

Coils are tagged as special items in the inventory system. Purchasing information is automatically stored for each coil, and a wealth of other information is available at your fingertips. Tags can be printed immediately upon receipt, and may be reprinted at any time. Coils are simultaneously tracked in both pounds and lineal feet, and a separate per unit cost is stored for each. Documents can be stored and attached to each coil, providing a Mill Test Report (MTR) digital lookup which takes only seconds.
