Inventory Management Software for Furniture Manufacturers
Track all your stock in real time — from raw material to finished goods, from fabric to metal accessories. Perfect your inventory control with warehouse locations, a barcode system and stock optimization.
Why Does Inventory Management Become a Problem in the Furniture Industry?
In furniture manufacturing there are dozens of different raw materials, hundreds of fabric/color variants and thousands of finished-goods stock items. If this complexity is not managed, production stops and orders are delayed. Here are the problems you face every day:
Stock Quantity Uncertainty
How much foam is in the warehouse, how many meters of which fabric are left, what metal legs are in stock? The system says one thing, the physical count gives another result. Production planning is based on wrong stock data and when raw material runs out, production stops.
Variant Tracking Cannot Be Done
The same fabric in 50 different colors, the same foam in 5 different densities, the same leg in 10 different finishes. Each variant needs separate stock tracking but the system does not support it. "We have fabric" is said but the requested color is out and the order is delayed.
Warehouse Location Chaos
Fabric rolls are somewhere in the warehouse, foam elsewhere, metal accessories on a separate shelf. But exactly where? A production worker searches for material, cannot find it, asks someone else. Search time is longer than production time and efficiency is low.
No Critical Stock Alert
No one notices until the most-used fabric runs out. When ordered from the supplier, 2 weeks are waited and production stops in that time. Minimum stock levels are not defined and when stock runs out, it becomes firefighting mode.
Stock Count Nightmare
For the year-end stock count, production stops, the whole team goes down to the warehouse and counting takes days. Handwritten lists are transferred to Excel, errors appear and it is recounted. The cost of counting reaches a significant part of the stock value.
No Stock Movement Tracking
Material entered the warehouse, went to production, became waste, came back as a return — are all these movements recorded? Who took how much material and when? When stock movements are not recorded properly, stock discrepancies arise and waste rates are unknown.
How Does Inventory Management Work with UR-GE ERP?
All stock items from raw material to finished goods are tracked in real time, integrated with the production and purchasing modules.
Real-Time Stock Tracking
Every stock movement is reflected in the system instantly — goods receipt, issue to production, waste, return, transfer. The instant stock quantity is always correct. Raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods are tracked separately. Thanks to automatic integration with the production and sales modules, manual updating is not needed.
- Instant stock quantity display
- Raw material, WIP and finished-goods separation
- Automatic stock update (production/sales)
- Stock history and movement report
Variant- and Lot-Based Stock Management
Fabric color, foam density, metal finish — each variant is tracked as a separate stock item. With lot/batch numbers, how much was used from which batch is tracked. The FIFO (first in, first out) rule is applied automatically and old stock is consumed first.
- Color, size and density variant tracking
- Lot/batch number tracking
- Automatic FIFO stock issue
- Variant-based stock report
Warehouse Location Management
Warehouse, aisle, shelf, bin — the exact location of every stock item is recorded. Material is found instantly with barcode scanning. When preparing material for production, the system says which location to take it from. Inter-location transfers are recorded and no material is lost.
- Multi-level location definition
- Fast location finding with barcode
- Inter-location transfer tracking
- Warehouse map visualization
Minimum Stock and Automatic Order Alert
Define minimum and maximum levels for each stock item. When stock drops to the minimum level, an automatic alert is sent or a purchase request is created. Critical raw materials never run out and production never stops. The order point is optimized by also accounting for lead time.
- Minimum/maximum stock level
- Critical-stock alert notifications
- Automatic purchase request creation
- Lead-time-based order point
Barcode and Mobile Stock Counting
The year-end count is no longer a nightmare. Count quickly by scanning barcodes with a mobile device or handheld terminal. Count results are transferred to the system instantly and differences are calculated automatically. With cycle counting, count in small batches throughout the year and maintain inventory accuracy without stopping production.
- Fast counting with barcode/QR code
- Mobile counting app
- Automatic difference calculation
- Cycle count planning
Stock Analysis and Optimization
Identify the most valuable stock items with ABC analysis. Stock turnover rate, average holding period and dead-stock analysis are visible on the dashboard. Which materials are overstocked, which are insufficient — make data-driven stock optimization and improve cash flow.
- ABC stock classification
- Stock turnover analysis
- Dead/slow-moving stock report
- Stock value and cost analysis
