System Requirements

• Printable help screens
• Screens float independent of program screen

• Allows for inputting quantities of dimension lumber
• Utilizes decimal-inch dimensions
• Each quantity of component pieces can be identified by a component ID and description that matches the ID used in Pallet Type build definitions
• Component costing allowed - per piece
• The Component Stock Inventory input screen also reflects dimension calculations in feet, square feet and linear feet

• Define any type of Pallet to be built
• Component stock descriptions, quantities and costs needed to build a Pallet
• Fastener's descriptions, quantities and costs needed to build a Pallet
• Additional miscellaneous production costs involved to build a Pallet
• A Total-Pallet-Cost profile consisting of component, fastener and production costs are generated by order

• Apply user defined Pallet Type characteristics to a Pallet Type
• Treated, stenciled, Kiln Dried, notched, chamfer, rebuilt, painted, bevel ends etc...
• Search Pallet Inventory on Pallet Type and Pallet Attributes

• Classify any dimension of component stock and average cost
• Runners, stringers, top deck etc...

• Define any type of fastener and average cost per piece or job

• Vendor & Mill Loads of lumber
• Pallet component stock inventory
• Production attributes
• Fastener inventor
• Pallet inventory

• Verify loads
• Load reconciliation (reconciles vendor's tally to your yard's tally)
• Vendor Purchase history
• Load History

• Load cost (calculated from the Load Reconciliation routine)

• Offers complete control of Build Schedules for work in progress
• Pallet availability

• How many pallets are available in inventory

• Pallet build feasibility

• Report on current component and lumber inventory levels required to complete an order or job

• Quantities needed to finish pallet orders

• Advanced reporting on shortages of component, fasteners or lumber inventory need to place an order into production

• Many operations pay on a per piece not hourly rate
• Tracks each employee on each production line on each shift
• Provides production totals
• Discover critical bottlenecks
• Peak production times, shift versus shift, line versus line, job completion rates

• Reman operations can optimize their efforts, minimize cost and increase profit margins
• Bar code tags or labels on the assembly line
• Bar codes attached as each pallet is produced
• At the finish of a pallet creation the bar code is scanned
• The PALLETRAX hand held computer scans the bar code

• Reman operations can optimize their efforts, minimize cost and increase profit margins
• Gain production control by job and employee
• In-depth forecasting on future activities based on current inventory levels
• Bases on these levels, jobs may be scheduled for future prodution

• Complete Order Entry and Shipping System
• As each order is completed, complete shipment documents are produced
• Cover sheet, Invoice, Bill of Lading, product Packing List
• Customer set up
• Customer shipment history
• Truck loading
• Based on truck dimensions fitted to Pallet Dimensions and stacking height

• Import/Export file capabilities
• Can export ASCII files
• Files may be imported into Accounting software, databases or spreadsheets
• Import/export files will be created according to specifications agreed upon for compatibility

• Records a load's tally
• Builds load inventories
• Performs a physical reconciliation of inventories on the yard
• Allows scanning of bar codes
