Collaborative Stock Control
Profab Access has harnessed the power of cloud based database development services to facilitate collaborative relationships with one of its main raw material suppliers Steelco.
Steelco provide the company with high quality zinc coated sheet steel in various sheet sizes and thicknesses. This steel is used to manufacture all of the access panels and riser doors in their product range. The steel is supplied on a consignment stock basis and stock levels are maintained by utilizing an Azure database and bespoke in house written front end to provide stock levels, usage requirements, and usage history reporting.
Having the database housed in Azure allows the supplier to have access to all of the front end information so they can monitor the companies steel stock levels and current work in progress and use this information to schedule delivery's of stock on demand.
This collaboration removes considerable human error and minimizes human resources used while maintaining the level of stock of each sheet type and allows the company to consistently meet customer lead times while maintaining high standards of quality.
