July 17, 2024 Press Releases

Keep Material Costs in Check, Increase Daily Sales, and Improve Customer Satisfaction

Command Alkon, the leading software and solutions provider for the heavy building materials industry, is proud to announce the launch of Material Supply. This innovative solution allows you to monitor and update stock levels, coordinate material flows, and automate back-office process to deliver a cohesive raw material supply solution.

"We are thrilled to introduce Material Supply to the market," said 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.  Material Supply is the only cloud system on the market that digitally manages 100% of raw material receipts and integrates with major Batch and Dispatch systems to radically change the way producers manage their inventories, supply chain ultimately driving productivity and profitability."

Material Supply transforms the way producers manage their inbound material deliveries. By integrating Command Cloud shared tickets, suppliers can share delivery tickets easily, reducing the need for manual and repetitive data entry by plant operators. Customers can also digitize paper tickets using mobile capture or scanners, facilitating a smooth transition to a digital workflow.

This solution automates the entire process from ticket capture to inventory updates. Delivery tickets are automatically sent to COMMANDbatch, Command Alkon's ready mix batch system, and inventory levels are promptly updated, ensuring producers have an accurate balance at all times. Plant operators can centrally monitor inventory and demand levels through cloud-based graphical decision support tools, enabling them to order materials precisely as needed to optimize production efficiency and reduce waste.

Material Supply provides valuable outcomes for various roles within the organization. Plant operators and managers can capture every raw material ticket, enabling seamless data sharing across business processes. Digitizing paper tickets saves time and improves accuracy by eliminating manual data entry. Suppliers can easily share their tickets, streamlining the entire material supply system.

The solution also benefits accounting processes by allowing inbound raw material data to be exported to other systems, integrating with ERP and accounting solutions. Replenishers and allocators gain access to accurate, real-time inventory forecasts, helping them prevent stockouts and overstocking. The decision support tools offer insights into inventory levels and demand, enabling the calculation of the optimal delivery plan for efficient inventory and truck allocation.
