Know Exactly What's in Your Shop - Before the Job Hits the Floor.
Running out of ¾" maple plywood mid-run. Over-ordering hinges that sit in the rack for months. Paying premium freight for last-minute material shortages. These are margin killers - and they're entirely preventable. Seradex ERP gives cabinet and millwork manufacturers real-time control over every board foot, sheet, hinge, and consumable, so production never stops waiting on material.
Why Material Planning & Inventory Control Is Critical?
Accurate material visibility is the backbone of on-time production. When stock levels, open BOMs, and the live schedule drift out of sync, even strong crews and good equipment cannot recover the margin lost to rush freight, duplicate purchasing, and work centres standing idle waiting on panels or hardware. Seradex ties inventory to demand so every job launches with confirmed material - and your shop floor keeps moving.
Purpose-Built for Cabinet & Millwork Inventory
Real-Time Inventory Tracking
Every sheet pulled for a cut-list, every hinge picked for assembly - Seradex updates your stock levels instantly. See exact quantities on hand across all locations: main warehouse, secondary storage, or satellite locations.
Demand Forecasting & Auto-Replenishment
Seradex analyzes your production schedule and open BOMs to predict material needs before you run short. Set minimum thresholds and let the system generate purchase orders automatically - so your sheet goods and hardware are always stocked to meet demand.
Lot & Batch Traceability
Track every material from supplier delivery to finished cabinet. Lot numbers, batch codes, and grain-matched sheet sets are fully traceable - critical for commercial millwork projects requiring compliance documentation or recall management.
Supplier Performance Management
Evaluate lead times, fill rates, and pricing across your lumber, sheet good, and hardware suppliers. Flag underperforming vendors and diversify sourcing before a single supplier creates a production crisis.
Integrated Dashboards
Visual dashboards surface your most critical material metrics: current stock vs. scheduled demand, upcoming reorder triggers, open POs, and slow-moving or obsolete inventory - all in one view.
Measurable Results for Cabinet Shops
Typical outcomes cabinet shops report with smarter material control:
- Excess reduced - 25% reduction in tied-up capital
- Stockouts eliminated - 15% faster job completion
- Supplier lead times improved - 20% reduction in delivery delays
- Material waste reduced - leaner purchasing, higher margins
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions to help you better understand our solutions and processes.
Can Seradex track inventory across multiple warehouse locations?
Yes. Stock is tracked across all locations simultaneously, giving you a single consolidated view with the ability to drill into any site.
How does demand forecasting account for seasonal peaks - like Q4 kitchen installs?
Seradex uses your historical order data and confirmed job pipeline to project forward demand, flagging when to build safety stock ahead of high-volume periods.
Can we track grain-matched or sequenced panels?
Yes. Batch and lot tracking can be configured to track matched sets, veneered panels, or any other grouping that requires sequential use.
Does it integrate with our purchasing and accounts payable?
Yes. Purchase orders flow directly into your AP workflow, linking supplier invoices to received inventory for accurate landed cost tracking.
From PO to Production, Fully Connected
When a job order is confirmed and the BOM is released from your CAD system, Seradex:
1. Checks live inventory against every line item on the cut-list
2. Identifies shortfalls by material type, lot, or supplier
3. Generates purchase orders automatically for any gaps
4. Reserves stock so two jobs don't compete for the same panel
No more scrambling. No more surprises at the saw.
