Manufacturing

Bill of Materials Software

The Bill of Materials (BOM) software centralizes information regarding lists of raw materials, assemblies, subassemblies, parts and components, as well as the quantities of each needed to manufacture a product. It lets you manage Assembly, Reman, and Production Templates, all of which help reduce data entry time.

Track Costs: Work In Progress (WIP) functions help maintain and track the costs of work order products and materials to increase production throughput, as well as provide information to help you find ways to reduce costs, and meet demands.

Streamline High Volume Manufacturing: Fixed rate and standard costing techniques help streamline labor, overhead costing, and reporting for products manufactured in high volumes, where it is difficult to precisely synchronize material, labor, overhead and other subsystems to the actual production receipts.

Improve Productivity with Material Requirements Planning: The BOM facilitates the Materials Requirement Planning that allows you to look at the demand, what is on hand, and what is being worked on to calculate the materials and components needed to manufacture a product. The Information provided helps improve the scheduling of purchases and production productivity. The system enables you to schedule the procurement and or production of Raw Material, Work in Process and Finished Goods Inventory. Existing Inventory transactions, Production issues and receipts, Reman issues and receipts, Sales, Purchasing, and inventory transfers act as a foundation for calculating what is available or required.

Treatment Software for Wood Preservers

WoodPro InSight’s Integrated Wood Treatment module provides real time information for wood treaters and preservers. It handles pressure treatments, non-pressure treatments that are used to extend the intended usefulness lifecycle of wood products. The status of production, costs, and scheduling information associated with each stage can be easily communicated amongst your staff members. There are many other benefits as well.

Manage Inventory:The supply of goods, whether treated or purchased (green), has to track demand as closely as possible. Inventory Control provides all the necessary tools and information to enable you to manage and minimize your investment in stock and depot resources and provides a high level of service. The system instantly provides the details against the different statuses of a product, while controlling the number of new part numbers created. It allows you to see all the information without having to look at separate part numbers—saving you time, but more importantly giving you a 360-degree view of the item.

Provides Wood Treatment Scheduling:The scheduling process for wood treatment is streamlined such that greater visibility is provided. The schedule can be generated for different Types: Regular, or TSO. Treatments can be generated for different Tags of different dimensions, either by selecting the Individual Tags, a Range of Tags, or All Tags.

Generates Recommend to Treat: This option provides the ability to generate treatment lists and subsequent purchase orders and treatment orders. It indicates whether the necessary Green is available and is used in conjunction with the Recommend to Purchase option, which recommends the various Green(s) to be purchased based upon requirements. Recommendations can come from an Inventory Policy, or a specific demand from Sales Orders.

Calculates Costs Automatically: Costs are automatically calculated based on treatment.

Supports TSO Orders: The processing and scheduling of Treatment Service Only Orders are also supported by the system.

Wood Products Manufacturing Software

WoodPro's InSight is designed to enhance the end-to-end operations for wood products manufacturing companies like sawmills, planer, plywood and MDF panels, and veneer mills, as well as other manufacturing plants.

Experience a seamless flow of information through all levels of your organization, which helps you achieve your manufacturing objectives such as producing high quality products, meeting production schedules, lowering cost of production, and improving productivity. This is accomplished by creating or adapting processing technology and customizing it to meet individual customer’s manufacturing capabilities and criteria that enable you to do the following:


  • Generate and scan tags using ruggedized PCs, Tablets, Ipads and other handheld devices that automatically update inventory and work in progress (WIP). WIP is reman work order that has been finished but not posted yet.
  • Interface with existing machine and PLC Controllers.
  • Track inventory costs real-time including material, labor, machine center, work center, subcontract, freight, and other miscellaneous costs.
  • Displays inventory availability and readily calculates profit margins.
  • View reports regarding internal Production performance metrics and statistics (production, downtime, transit, wastage, rejects, bi-products, user defined parameters, by work center, machine, skill group, operator, by Run, by Production Order, by day or user defined periods.
  • Optimize the flow of materials through internal and external supply chain via Production and Replenishment Schedules and recommendations.
  • View MRP recommendation for purchased and manufactured items.
  • Eliminate non-value-added efforts with performance metrics.
  • Manage fluctuating customer demands with better resource allocation, forecast consumption and replenishment strategies designed to eliminate production bottlenecks and the production or purchase of wrong items.

Work In Progress (WIP) functions help maintain and track the costs of work order products and materials to increase production throughput, provide information to help you find ways to reduce costs, and meet demands. Fixed rate and standard costing techniques streamline labor and overhead costing and reporting for products manufactured in high volumes, where it is difficult to precisely synchronize material, labor, overhead and other subsystems to the actual production receipts.


The Visual Planner: The Planner has all the visual features and impact of a manual planning board, combined with the speed, utility, and smarts of a sophisticated workstation. Staff already familiar with Windows will find it especially easy to use and understand.


Manage Inventory: Feedback on the value, status and availability of inventory is critical to the profitability of any enterprise. WoodPro InSight supports a broad range of functionality to manage Purchased and Raw Materials, Work in Process and Finished Goods Inventory. It creates inventory transactions such as production issues and receipts, and inventory transfers, which act as the foundation for on-hand balances for use in inventory, distribution, and financial activities.

Tracks Production and Sales: Tracks all inventory movements from the original receipts of logs and lumber, through production issues, production receipts, transfers and finished product sales. Weighted Average, Standard Costs, and Specific Identification Costs methodologies calculate costs in near or real-time rather than after the fact at period end.

Products Data Management: Define an item by user-defined attributes using our industry best Product Data Management capabilities. Using formula-based Item Types, Bill of Materials, Routes and Standard Operations, WoodPro InSight's Manufacturing module provides flexible tools to control and monitor manufacturing activities and costs.
