OptiCIM

Overview

OptiCIM™ is an inventory management system specifically designed for manufactures, distributors or retailers of stock length materials who wish to benefit from optimized cutting by minimizing material waste and costs. This software includes a linear material optimizer and solver enabling a materials manager to quickly generate optimized cutting plans based on multiple customer orders and current inventory. The material manager may initiate the auto-filling of purchase orders for missing materials required to fulfill customer orders or to replenish stocks based on preset min quantities and order quantities. In addition to managing standard inventoried stock lengths it also manages reusable off-cut material remnants.

The system can be configured to support one Material Manager station and up to four additional Client Services stations. The Client Services stations are used to generate customer quotations and manage customer accounts and orders. These stations have read-only access to the inventory database and are able to produce most reports. All inventory control and cutting related task are done exclusively via the System Manager station.
