Command Alkon launched a cloud system that digitally manages raw material receipts and integrates with major batch and dispatch systems.
As Command Alkon describes, its new Material Supply system changes the way producers manage their inventories.
“We are thrilled to introduce Material Supply to the market,” says Michael Bordelon, global product director at Command Alkon. “This solution embodies our commitment to delivering user-friendly technologies that empower our customers to streamline their operations and achieve maximum efficiency.”
According to Command Alkon, Material Supply allows users to monitor and update stock levels, coordinate material flows and automate back-office processes. By integrating Command Cloud shared tickets, Command Alkon says suppliers can easily share delivery tickets, reducing the need for manual data entry by plant operators. Customers can also digitize paper tickets using mobile capture or scanners, facilitating a smooth transition to a digital workflow.
Material Supply automates the process from ticket capture to inventory updates. Delivery tickets are automatically sent to COMMANDbatch, Command Alkon’s ready-mixed concrete batch system, and inventory levels are promptly updated to ensure producers have an accurate balance at all times.
Plant operators can centrally monitor inventory and demand levels through cloud-based graphical decision support tools, the company adds, enabling them to order materials precisely as needed to optimize production efficiency and reduce waste.
Additionally, Command Alkon says Material Supply enables plant operators and managers to capture every raw material ticket, enabling seamless data sharing across business processes.
