Stock and materials
Stock records that match the godown
Your system stock matches the shelf. You get warned before a shortage stops a machine.
What this costs while it stays invisible.
- Stock runs out mid-shift. Lines sit idle while someone rushes to buy.
- The right paper or fabric runs out, so operators use costlier stock and your margin goes.
- Book stock never matches the godown, so nobody trusts the numbers.
- Material leaves on paper chits that are never checked. Board, ink and hardware go missing.
- Offcuts and part rolls pile up unrecorded while purchase buys fresh stock.
- Client-supplied material mixes with yours, and audits turn tense.
What changes when the floor can be trusted.
- Track stock by plant, zone, aisle and bin, with every movement on record.
- Digital issue slips tie each material issue to a work order and stage.
- Stock is deducted from floor scans. No manual entry.
- Returns are matched to expected use, so you see true material use per job.
- Client-supplied material is tagged to its owner and never mixed.
- Low stock is flagged and a material request raised the moment it dips below safety level.

Works with
Questions you should ask before buying any system.
Can Prodman create purchase orders automatically when stock runs low?
It raises a warning and a material request for your buying team. They make the PO in one click, with approvals. Buying stays a human decision.
How does digital stock stay accurate without constant manual entry?
Use is deducted from floor scans. Log 2,000 impressions and the bill of materials removes the matching sheets and ink.
How is customer-supplied paper or fabric kept apart from our own stock?
It is tagged to the client from storage to floor to return. It is never used for another order or counted in your stock value.
You should not need to spend your life walking the floor to discover the truth.
Bring us one problematic production order, one chronic bottleneck, or one metric nobody trusts. In thirty minutes, we will show you how Prodman restores order and calm, without asking your machine operators to become clerical typists.
