Job Tracking & Materials Flow: 6 ways to Drive Success

Optimizing Production Through Integrated Job and Materials Management

Job Tracking

BellHawk and MilramX’s manufacturing operations software optimizes production with real-time job tracking, inventory, and materials flow management, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and reliability across industries like defense manufacturing and construction. By aligning production schedules with material availability, the platform prevents delays, reduces costs, and enhances productivity. Designed for complex manufacturing environments, this solution delivers precision, compliance, and scalability, making it an essential tool for modern production planning.

BellHawk’s job tracking software provides real-time visibility into work-in-process (WIP) status, enabling dynamic schedule adjustments to address bottlenecks proactively, while precise component tracking prevents material shortages that could disrupt production schedules, a critical feature in defense manufacturing where delays are costly. MilramX’s automated supply chain data exchange streamlines materials flow by ensuring reliable data transfer with suppliers and customers, reducing lead times and ensuring seamless coordination for just-in-time inventory practices. The integrated system enhances decision-making with actionable insights, supports regulatory compliance through detailed audit trails, and scales effortlessly to meet growing operational demands. This robust platform empowers manufacturers to achieve operational excellence, minimize waste, and maintain competitive advantage in fast-paced, high-stakes industries.

KnarrTek’s BellHawk software delivers real-time material visibility through mobile inventory tracking and barcode scanning, ensuring accurate tracking across complex production processes. Unlike traditional ERP and WMS systems that rely on location-based tracking, KnarrTek uses a container-based approach inspired by logistics leaders like FedEx. By applying unique barcode or RFID tags to containers at their point of origin, compliant with GS1 standards, BellHawk enables precise tracking of materials and serialized items. This reduces errors and provides managers with a clear, real-time overview of inventory status, allocation, and availability. KnarrTek’s cloud-based WMS offers scalable, cost-effective solutions for small and medium-sized businesses, adapting to growing needs and delivering a fast ROI by minimizing inventory errors and operational costs.

KnarrTek’s seamless ERP integration creates a single source of truth, aligning production data with inventory and materials flow for real-time decision-making. This connectivity synchronizes production schedules, inventory levels, and material requirements, reducing downtime and boosting efficiency. The nested container tracking feature, an extension of KnarrTek’s license-plate-number system, ensures every component—from raw materials to finished goods—is accurately tracked. This enhances traceability, reduces waste, and supports complex production processes, making it ideal for industries like manufacturing, food, and medical supply chains.

KnarrTek’s MilramX platform automates data exchange with suppliers, streamlining purchase orders, shipment tracking, and invoice reconciliation to shorten lead times and improve customer satisfaction with timely deliveries. By optimizing resources and ensuring compliance with FDA and GS1 standards, KnarrTek’s solutions drive operational excellence. Advanced analytics provide actionable insights, helping businesses identify bottlenecks and enhance workflows. These tools deliver measurable benefits, including improved efficiency, cost savings, and scalability, empowering industries to thrive in competitive markets.
