WoodPro handles a variety of lumber and building materials software needs.  It helps manage the flow of information and goods to enable you to maximize the value of your supply chain and build stronger partner networks.  You are the most important link—the ability to react to changes in your customer’s demand as well as manage your suppliers is vital for success in today’s dynamic environment. 

Purchasing Operations:  You can configure the Purchase Order module to support your procurement methodology. The system supports purchase order entry and product receiving with full vendor history and analysis.  Purchasing commitments and accruals are tracked through the Accrued Accounts Payable module to the General Ledger.

Electronic Communication Through EDI & XML:  WoodPro handles various messaging standards to process transactions to and from WoodPro.

Improve Individual Sales Efficiency:  Sales professionals and traders are equipped with all the necessary tools to sell more effectively, including Back-to-Back Orders, comprehensive reports, user-friendly accounts and contact details. Trader Worksheets, Quotes, Bids and Orders can be easily created, saved and ‘recycled’ for future uses, freeing-up more time for selling.

Multi-Channel Selling:  WoodPro supports both inventory and direct (Back-to-Back) sales. It also supports counter sales. It is particularly suitable for a mixed requirement of counter sales and back-office order processing from the same stock holding. The system handles payments by cash, on account, or by credit card.

Real-Time Direct Order Fulfillment:  Customer orders, third party, and other internal cost information are captured instantly to provide detailed profit analysis. This can be done through our fully integrated multi-line back-to-back or inventory/reload sales orders that enable simultaneous purchasing and selling activities to occur. The system also handles complex order requests, including multiple locations, direct orders, point of sale, split and drop shipments.  In addition, integration with our transportation solution, our labeling solution, and the use of barcode technology all help you streamline the fulfillment process.

Inventory Control:  Inventory can be reduced and stock can be managed in a cost-effective, controlled way, avoiding the risks of over-investing in expensive stock or leaving orders too late to satisfy your customers. It keeps you fully in control by providing real-time multi-site views of current and expected stock alongside extensive inventory management features. By maximizing the efficiency of your stock and warehouse resources, WoodPro helps you deliver maximum customer service at an acceptable cost.

Transparent Conversions:  The system transparently converts between multiple units of measure, including Pieces, BF, LF, MBF, SF, MSF, Metrics, etc.

Multi-location/Reload Operations:  Lots and tags can be created to manage and keep track of the entry of piece tallies. Random length and random length/random width tallies as well as specified length products are all supported. Detailed lumber packages from any location, whether it is on-site or at other vendor’s location are clearly visible. Support for Vendor or Customer Managed Inventory is included.

Flexible Costing Methods:  Costs can be tracked using weighted average, actual, LIFO/FIFO or standard costs; market costs as well as full landed cost functionality are also supported.

Daily Route Scheduling:  WoodPro helps you make more efficient use of resources (drivers and vehicles) by enabling you to set up details of these resources and standard routes (areas and days/dates).  It takes on the time-consuming, yet important task, of generating the loads (routes/delivery dates) to which orders can be allocated. Woodpro also allows the user to produce shipping documentation, calculate and spread freight and other costs across multiple orders, including drop charges and fuel surcharges.

Transportation & Traffic Control:  Order entry, purchase order and inventory modules are fully linked. Any information concerning the flow of goods such as incoming goods, direct shipments, inventory transfers or outgoing orders can be managed, along with other details to help maintain the steady flow of goods.

Formula Pricing:  Sophisticated rules-based pricing system is available to help you automatically manage a range of complex pricing to avoid errors and to accelerate processing.

Trader Worksheets:  Pricing, costing, and profit per MBF information for packages can be conveniently calculated using our Trader’s worksheet. Prices can also be updated through links to pricing schedules, such as Random Lengths.

Activity Alerts:  As the status of the order changes, time sensitive alerts are generated and messages are instantly transmitted that trigger other crucial activities that help improve the flow of material towards the right destination.
