Managing stock levels is a constant challenge—particularly for New Zealand businesses that rely on overseas supply chains, where long lead times can disrupt operations.
One of our clients specialises in the on-demand production of custom air filter units, sourcing most raw materials from China. The process begins with a customer submitting a quote request, specifying dimensions and material requirements. Based on this input, the system identifies the product. If it's a new item, the system automatically creates it from a predefined template and generates a bill of materials, which in turn produces accurate costings and end-user pricing.
From there, the standard workflow proceeds:
JETSTREAM maintains comprehensive financial records for each transaction, simplifying both accounting and stock control.
In the background, JETSTREAM continuously analyses sales trends and their impact on component usage. When it detects discrepancies—such as minimum stock levels that may no longer be appropriate—it alerts the stock manager, helping to prevent shortages and optimise inventory levels.
