How our Material Replenishment App streamlines your manufacturing operations
Existing Processes

- Detailed statistics about material requests enable reduction of inventory
Connect your BOM lists
Connect your ERP or MES system to sync material lists.
If you do not have your BOM lists in digital format, you can create them inside the Workerbase platform or simply upload your Excel files.
Define how material is delivered
Setup processes for how to handle replenishment:
- Based on averages
- Based on actual material consumption
- Based on manual requests
- Based on your custom logic using our low code editor
Automatically create tasks for urgent deliveries or pool requests for regular milk runs.
Automate exception handling
If things do not go as planned, you can setup automated exception handling routines.
This avoids frequent back and forth communication and ensures timely delivery of any material.
