Pickup & delivery

Never lose a part at the vendor.

Anodizing, powder coating, heat treating, external machining: parts leave the building and your ERP only knows a service. This app tracks what went out, what came back, what was scrapped and how long it took.

A blind spot in the ERP

The problem.

External processing is booked as a service, so the ERP cannot track the physical parts: how many went out, how many came back, how many were scrapped and whether the bill is right.

Our answer

The solution.

Every outside job becomes an order with a unique ID and a printed routing card that travels with the parts. Quantities and dates are recorded at pickup and return.

Capabilities

What it does.

Order overview

All external orders with status, due date and quick-action icons.

Routing card

Print the card that physically accompanies the parts, with signatures for pickup and return.

Supplier minimums

Warns before you send too few (or too many) parts for a vendor's minimum rules.

Return processing

Book quantities in and scrap; the order closes automatically.

Dashboard & analysis

Lead times, open volume and returns per vendor.

Status, paid, archive

Clear statuses, overdue marking, paid flag and archive.

Admin area

Vendors, article database and validation rules; corrections and backup protected by a code.

Live sync

All devices see the same data instantly.

Deep dive 1

The card travels with the parts

Print a routing card per order. The driver picks up the parts with the card, the vendor finishes them, and they come back with the card. Nothing is anonymous, nothing ambiguous.

  • Signatures at handover
  • Barcode ready

Built-in safeguards

Rules the app enforces.

Validation before sending

Rules catch missing data and vendor minimums.

Overdue is visible

Late orders stand out in the list.

Admin-protected corrections

Changes to history need the admin code.

Not an accounting system

Records quantities and dates, not invoices.

FAQ

Good to know.

Does it replace the ERP?

No. It adds what the ERP cannot do for service bookings: tracking the physical parts.

Can we print on standard paper?

Yes, the routing card prints on regular paper.

What about different vendors’ rules?

Each vendor can have its own minimum quantity rules.
