The Challenge
A centralized system and visual warehouse map eliminate errors, save time, and provide full control over material flow from raw material to shipment.
Before implementation, the company struggled with a lack of consistent information about current stock levels of raw materials, semi-finished goods, and finished products. Tracking movement history, verifying bill-of-materials structures (BOM), and managing shipping documentation required manually transcribing data between spreadsheets, which generated errors and extended handling time.
Key challenges:
- The company struggled with a lack of consistent information about current stock levels of raw materials, semi-finished goods, and finished products.
- Tracking movement history, verifying bill-of-materials structures (BOM), and managing shipping documentation required manually transcribing data between spreadsheets, which generated errors and extended handling time.
The Solution Process
The Warehouse module was launched in the ProcessApp system, centralizing inventory and logistics management.
Employees now use a single tool to view stock levels by category, verify BOM structures, track movement history, and handle shipping documents (goods-issue notes).
The implementation team mapped the goods-flow processes, from raw material receiving to finished furniture shipment.
The existing material database was then imported, BOM structures for products were mapped, and a visual warehouse yard map was configured.
Actions Taken
Main dashboard
The entire furniture company uses a single system, with visibility across data from sales to transport.
Entering the module
The warehouse manager opens the warehouse module, analyzes KPIs and charts, and then reviews finished goods, semi-finished goods, and raw materials.
BOM structures
The planner now enters the database, filters the list, and selects an item — for example, the side panel of a Montessori shelf unit. The system verifies the linkages, eliminating errors and saving hours of data comparison before production is launched.
Detailed stock levels
The team has a complete picture of the situation before their first coffee. They review raw material, production, semi-finished, and finished goods stock levels. Opening a record card is all it takes to learn every detail about a batch. Nobody needs to call other departments, because the data is visible in real time.
Yard map
Instead of searching for goods on the shop floor, employees check the digital register, which records every change. The visual warehouse map indicates the pallet location, reducing handling time. The logistics coordinator looks at the overview and knows exactly where to send the forklift.
Shipment handling
No more lost paperwork. The shipping department verifies the goods-issue list and opens the details of a delivery note, while the document history provides access to all transport files, ensuring smooth collaboration with logistics.
Back to analytics
The manager regains control and saves hours of work every week.
Results Achieved
What changed
Before the deployment
- The company struggled with a lack of consistent information about current stock levels of raw materials, semi-finished goods, and finished products.
- Tracking movement history, verifying bill-of-materials structures (BOM), and managing shipping documentation required manually transcribing data between spreadsheets, which generated errors and extended handling time.
After the deployment
- The company gained real-time, centralized visibility into inventory levels at every stage of production, from raw material to finished product.
- The yard visualization makes it easy to quickly locate material batches, and the digital history of movements and shipping documents has eliminated the problem of lost information.
