’s Pre-Allocation inventory management feature is tailored to contract manufacturers in any supply chain vertical to help with managing inventory across multiple projects or programs.

The Pre-Allocation feature facilitates the early assignment of materials to specific projects and customers, enabling users to designate a customer or work order directly on the supplier’s purchase order or existing on-hand inventory. The tool ensures that customer-supplied inventory is not shared, and that work orders have appropriate inventory allocated to prevent slowdowns in production. By allowing early inventory assignment, contract manufacturers can address key inventory management challenges, such as preserving customer-supplied inventory for the right jobs, material planning for large projects and programs as well as protecting estimated costs.

For job shop contract manufacturers, Pre-Allocation simplifies the purchasing and material planning process and prevents unnecessary inventory from sitting on the shelf. Large projects can have purchase orders quickly placed and pre-allocated to the job, reducing overhead while also protecting the production schedule and critical need dates.

Pre-Allocation also simplifies material planning and strengthens inventory oversight, ensuring that materials are dedicated to intended projects ahead of production, streamlining operations and enhancing project delivery accuracy.
