Wireframing

Thinkbound wireframed the entire application and workflows into an interactive prototype to solicit stakeholder feedback before development. The redesign was powered by our expert web development services in Toronto, ensuring seamless integration with the existing workflows.

Production Module

The Production Tab in the IMS is a vital tool for Production workers to view products falling below set minimum inventory levels in QuickBooks.

Through color-coded highlights, it emphasizes items needing immediate production attention. This synergy is a testament to Thinkbound’s web application development services, which focused on real-time updates to streamline operations. This synergy ensures efficient decision-making between inventory production workers, optimizing production efforts and meeting customer demands promptly.

Inventory Management Module

This module, designed for on-the-go efficiency, provides Yard Managers with a mobile-friendly interface for prompt inventory updates.
It empowers Yard Managers to add or remove quantities of a product with a rationale for doing so. All activities are communicated to QuickBooks and Production module during an automated sync process.

The system ensures real-time reflection of these updates, maintaining accuracy within the inventory, QuickBooks and production module.

Automated Synchronization Process

The automated synchronization process ensures bidirectional data syncing for real-time consistency between QuickBooks and the Inventory Management System. The Sales Orders, Invoices, and Credit Memos generated in QuickBooks are sent in real-time to the IMS which generates the instructions for inventory assignment, production and inventory adjustments. Comprehensive logs track every inventory, production and user generated action for accountability.

Custom Products

The Custom Products Module, integrated into the IMS, streamlines the process for sales orders featuring custom products. This module allows a representative to upload essential documentation and provide comments, guiding production staff in crafting the custom product. Representatives are required to upload documentation and provide comments for production staff to follow during custom product creation. The Custom Product Module incorporates a verification step for quality control. Upon completion, the finished product undergoes a review by the Quality Control Manager before being marked as complete. The IMS then automatically assigns the newly created custom product to the respective sales order. Simultaneously, an email notification is sent to the sales representative, signaling that the order is now prepared for delivery.

This integrated approach ensures a seamless and efficient workflow, from the initial customization stages through quality control verification to the final assignment and notification, enhancing overall productivity within the IMS and QuickBooks.
