Light Manufacturing Features

When dealing with industrial products, some distributors also require manufacturing assembly software for light manufacturing such as simple BOM, kitting and assembly and production.

Bill of Materials (BOM)

  • Blue Link ERP allows you to define a list of components necessary to assemble a finished good
  • BOM is used to track production based on what components and other inventory items are available for use

Assembly / Production Control

  • Assembly and production control functionality determines what products can be assembled given a defined bill of materials (BOM) and available inventory
  • With Blue Link’s assembly and production control tools, you can assemble product, disassemble product, and assign costs to the labour components of the assembly process

Kitting

  • Allows for inventory to be sold as pre-defined kits – groups of items sold as a single item – or sold as individual items. For example, you might sell keyboards and mice separately or together as a keyboard and mouse combo.
Man writing testimonial on cell phone

Darren and his team, first remotely and then over a week on-site achieved a near “flawless” conversion to their Blue Link Elite ERP platform and had us working in the new system almost immediately. This was an incredible feat only made possible through experience and knowledge, both of which I can attest they have an abundance of.
