Float Glass Producers, Glass Processors - Architectural & Automotive applications
I need to estimate cost, prepare quote / proforma invoice. I need to analyze which quotes were not converted to orders I need to analyze my sales and breakage. Order Status available ? Is Inventory management available? Can I link to Tally or other billing / management software? How to track and reuse offcuts? Need estimate of glass sheets . How to use customer requirements sent in excel or word files? I make DGU of specific glass material of various sizes. Can this software help? Need stock margins Does the software take care of breakout? Can we select the edge grinding required - will it calculate rough-sizes. I need to cut shapes. What help is available?. Is the software helpful for manual cutting? How to identify, segregate & stack parts customer-wise. Will the software help to streamline my ie production. How to reduce wastage cutting spacers? How to get full utilization of channels or bars? Tracing each template and cutting is laborious. Any solution? I need to get the position of holes and cutouts in the template accurately. Transporting and storing odd sized templates is a nightmare. Help! How to estimate my channels, bars requirements?
Glass Retailers/ Trades and Small Processors
Looking for low cost solution to minimize wastage Should maintain inventory and allow reuse of offcuts Simple to operate and fast Is the software useful for manual cutting? Does it print labels for parts? Will this software generate invoices? Can the software give area calculation for next odd/even charging? Can the software give me the cost for variable charged sizes? How to get cost of grinding, polishing based on the part sizes?
Cutting Table Manufacturers
Does it support my cutting table Are OEM Solutions possible? Can new features be requested and implemented ? If so at what cost ?
