Our manufacturing process management software reduces errors, boosts margins
Are data errors driving up costs and dragging down margins?If your manufacturing company depends on spreadsheets or hand-filled forms to process orders, there’s a good chance high error rates are hurting your profit margins. For example:
ERROR: Production orders contain incorrect item numbers.
EFFECT: The wrong products get produced.
ERROR: Misplaced orders are not scheduled.
EFFECT: Rush products require costly expedition.
ERROR: Bills of materials (BOMs) are calculated incorrectly.
EFFECT: Excess materials take up warehouse space.
The common culprit in these situations? Repetitive tasks involving manual entry. The solution is easier and more cost-effective than you think: manufacturing process management software from WebRevelation. Our custom web-based systems eliminate the drudgery and data errors associated with manual ordering and production processes.

Manage jobs more efficiently with greater visibility
Our affordable manufacturing process software also adds visibility, and makes your people and processes more efficient. When an order comes in, the system knows how much it needs of which materials. It automatically generates the BOM and sends it to purchasing to determine whether the required materials are on-hand. If so, it creates the work order and breaks down all the related steps.

Client spotlight: ScreenFab LLC
ScreenFab LLC is a wholesale window-screen manufacturer serving big-box home improvement stores. When they came to us, their customers were using spreadsheets to place orders. These spreadsheets caused chaos because:
- Different customers used different spreadsheets.
- Different spreadsheets contained different fields, increasing data-integrity errors.
- Each spreadsheet contained multiple tabs to address different orders.
- All orders required hand processing.
- There were no data checks, sending incorrect orders to the shop floor.
- Pieces of orders could be missed entirely, never reaching the shop floor.
In addition to its spreadsheet issues, ScreenFab LLC was bringing on multiple manufacturing facilities. Without an online software solution, there was no way to establish or maintain a consistent ordering process. Work orders were being hand-processed while labels were created via mail merge. These issues increased overhead in the production process, and made quality control in the order-to-work-order phase difficult to maintain.
WebRevelation created an online database that:
- Standardized the order process
- Automated work orders
- Allows customers to place orders online – decreasing staff involvement
- Alerts employees to errors in an order before it hits the production flow
- Automatically generates production and shipping labels.
