If you work for a manufacturing company, you must tie your shoelaces and keep a level head during production. But not only that. You have to keep up the tempo from the moment you purchase materials till you reach the finish line and deliver the customer’s item. Manufacturing may therefore seem like a marathon with many bumps in the road. Because if you aren’t sure which materials you need, where they are located, how many, for whom and when they have to be delivered, you’ll run into roadblocks. And then you risk losing customers and money. Yet, you will avoid just that with a digital inventory management system that includes manufacturing management.
It will give you a clear overview of all the stages of your manufacturing, an easy way to trace your raw materials and live updates on your purchases, sales and shipments. Thus, you will have complete control over which, where, how many, for whom and when – and your products will always reach the finish line in timely fashion.

You’ll save miles of resources on materials, time and employees when you digitalize, arrange and outline your production on one platform. Rackbeat’s manufacturing management gives you:
Rackbeat keeps all your manufacturing details in one overview. This allows you to see all the processes and actors involved in your manufacturing: The order number, the products, the customer, the employee in charge, the status of the production and the date of delivery.
Thereby, everyone in your company can pass the baton from the purchase, production, sales & packing and ensure your customer won’t have to wait in vain. The one in charge of your purchases can keep an eye on the inventory and make sure the manufacturing manager has raw materials to start. The salesperson will have a product to sell and the warehouse workers can send the order off to your customer on time.
Since Rackbeat streamlines all stages of your production inside the products tab, you can skip a bunch of steps and speed up the entire process. Especially your purchases.
This is advantageous if you receive an order from a customer and realize that you are missing a component for your production. Here, Rackbeat allows you to fill up all the missing materials directly from the production order. Thus, you won’t waste time on long, strenuous detours when it’s time to produce.
If you want to hit the floor running with your manufacturing, it is essential that you have all the ingredients for the finished products in one place. Rackbeat gives you the option to make as many bill of materials as you like,
so your production manager will never be caught on the wrong foot.
With the bill of materials you will also get an overview of the sales price, cost price, the inventory count and the entire catalogue of productions. Furthermore, you can state the weight of the units, their sizes and locations. No piece of information will be lost in translation for your production team, the customer or the delivery guy.
The batch checking feature in Rackbeat allows you to track all the raw materials that are part of your manufacturing. This is really important if you sell products with expiration dates or have to retract a consignment.
With Rackbeat’s batch checking, you are able to see when you received a batch, how many productions each batch appear in and who received the final products.
In the event that you find a mistake in the original batch, you can quickly retract all the products created from that batch. It also allows you to see the materials you have to put in production before they expire. Thus, you can slow down your production costs since you save time on retracting orders and money as your products won’t fall short of the time limit.
“Rackbeat provides more opportunities than other inventory management systems. When it comes to minimizing errors, and getting your production up to speed, I think Rackbeat really brings it.”
Back in 2020, Scanliving chose Rackbeat because they were facing an increase in order flow and needed a WMS that was »easy to use« and was »better geared towards handling many collections of products, barcodes, and group item numbers.«
