The Hidden Cost of Poor Inventory
Every façade fabricator knows the pain: a project deadline slips because one critical material isn’t in stock. Crews stand idle, rush orders drive up costs, and customers are left waiting. These shortages don’t just waste time and money — they erode trust.
Keeping track of inventory shouldn’t be complicated
And it shouldn’t cost you wasted time and money. That’s why we built an inventory management system designed with real input from the façade fabrication industry.
Instead of juggling spreadsheets, duplicate entries, and unclear data, you get one system where everything is connected, accurate, and easy to manage.
How It Works
With Spectr ERP, every stock-controlled item is tracked from the moment it’s received until it’s used on a project. Nothing enters your inventory until it’s been physically received, labeled, and verified.
Here’s what that means in practice:
✅ No more material shortages — your team always knows exactly what’s on hand and where it’s located, so projects aren’t held up by missing stock or unexpected delays for customers.
✅ Verified entry — no phantom inventory. If it’s not received and verified, it doesn’t exist in your system.
✅ Every item has a container — items live in a container, which is tied to a location and tagged with a status.
✅ Live container sync — quantities always match the containers they’re in. If it’s not in a container, it’s not in your inventory.
✅ Mobile workflow — warehouse operators use a mobile app to distribute and return containers. Any proposed quantity changes are verified by the office before they take effect.
What This Means for Your Team
By working from the same real data, your warehouse, purchasing, and production teams stay aligned. That leads to fewer shortages and less wasted effort.
- For project managers: no more guesswork when committing to delivery dates. You can check live stock before promising timelines to customers.
- For purchasing: fewer emergency orders or rush shipments, since shortages are caught before they become a problem.
- For warehouse staff: no paper logs, no second-guessing. Just scan, move, and verify.
A single missing material can bring fabrication to a halt. By eliminating uncertainty, Spectr ERP helps ensure crews aren’t standing idle and projects don’t slip behind schedule.
Why It Matters
Inventory is the backbone of every façade project. Delays, errors, or missing materials create costly setbacks that ripple across design, production, shipping, and installation.
- Cost impact: companies often overspend by ordering “just in case” materials to avoid shortages. With Spectr ERP, that safety stock becomes unnecessary.
- Time impact: reconciling spreadsheets can eat hours each week. Verified entries and container sync eliminate that wasted effort.
- Performance impact: eliminating shortages directly improves on-time delivery rates — something customers notice immediately.
The numbers tell the story:
- Companies typically cut inventory discrepancies by up to 90% once moving to a verified-entry system.
- Shops save 5–10 hours per week by removing manual reconciliations.
- On-time project delivery rates improve by 15–20%, simply by reducing shortages.
Spectr ERP eliminates those risks by giving you a single source of truth for your materials. Every transaction is tracked, verified, and connected, so your shop always has the clarity it needs to deliver.
