THE COALITION CONNECTION

Coalition Computing Corporation was founded as a consulting and programming

services company in December, 1993. Our team of professionals delivers comprehensive

IT solutions to businesses with services ranging from application design and custom

programming to ERP implementation. Your successful implementation is our mission.

CUSTOMER SUCCESS STORIESIMPROVE INVENTORY CONTROL MSM Industries, a home furnishings manufacturer with a 250,000 square foot facility, now Receive and Issue all product and raw material on a real-time basis with all orders being processed, picked, packed, shipped and invoiced using scanners.

“Before implementation of FlexAbility, inventory took a minimum of 3 days, requiring lots of people, ending in questionable results—Year End Inventory is now done in one day with only a few people. The results are great and the frustration is gone. Inventory management is what MSM has now, versus an attempt at inventory control in the past. Customer Support from Coalition Computing has been excellent during and post implementation.” Willy Browne, Vice President of Research & Development

CUT COSTSFemco Inc, a roll-over and agricultural sun protection manufacturing company, was able to cut overall costs by decreasing working inventory through more convenient control and oversight.

“We knew what we wanted and FlexAbility was able to provide what we needed. Then it was not only the software, but Coalition set us up with the hardware and expertise to get it functioning properly,” Tim Young, Controller

Purchasing

The FlexAbility Purchasing module facilitates receiving vendor shipments by scanning barcoded receivers or entering the PO number. Items can be scanned from vendor’s labels, UPC codes, or the receiver. Inventory IDs are validated and lot/serial information can be captured. Optionally, FlexAbility Labeling can print barcoded labels for the inventory received.

Inventory

With FlexAbility Inventory, warehouse employees have the ability to enter inventory Issues & Receipts, as well as Move inventory from bin to bin. The Inventory module supports one-step and two-step Transfers between sites. Physical Inventory and Cycle Counting are also supported.

Production

The FlexAbility Production module tracks the quantity and status of orders as they move through each operation step in the manufacturing process. The Ma-terial Picking process allows shop floor employees to maintain a current and ac-curate list of materials used against Production Orders. With Production Move and Production Completion, it’s easy to see where an order is in the production process and how many have been completed or scrapped at each step.

Order Management

FlexAbility Order Management facilitates the picking and shipment of sales or-ders. Inventory IDs and quantities are verified against the Shipper for accurate order fulfillment. Because FlexAbility is seamlessly integrated, order steps can be added to require any combination of picking and packing required by busi-ness processes. As appropriate, carton, pallet and shipping labels are printed. Finally, the shipment can be confirmed from FlexAbility.
