Hall’s carpet competition with integrated system
1 min read
Edmonton-based Floor coverings supplier Hall’s Floorings has “totally transformed” its operations, says financial director John Ward, thanks to its new sales order and stock control software from Access Supply Chain.
Hall’s integrated the system with its warehouse management system, and Ward says: “Our order accuracy now is fantastic – the credit note ratio halved immediately. And with the sales office and stock control functionality running smoothly, we can really offer a proactive service to our customers.”
Previously, the warehouse was entirely paper-based. Now, production is fed directly from sales order processing right to the cutting tables, all electronically.
“As soon as an order is taken, the details appear on pick-screens on the forklift trucks,” Ward explains. “The driver picks the product and takes the roll to the cutting table area. The roll card is scanned and the number of cuts to be taken from that roll is displayed on a PC sited on the cutting machine.
“All the operator has to do is press a button and the dimensions are transferred to the cutting table measurement machine. The cuts are taken and a packing note produced for each.”
