From Tooling to Labor, Routing Software Grows With Your Company

The labor, machinery and tooling elements of manufacturing can be as crucial as the component materials you use. The Routing Software application provides the functionality to define these important pieces of your manufacturing software solution.

Working with the Bill of Materials module, the Routing Software application defines elements such as work centers, labor, machinery and tooling. In terms of costs and times, these elements make up the process side of the manufacturing Bill of Materials.

By breaking down the process in the labor types, machine groups and tooling, Routing and Resources allows you to define operations as a combination of these elements. You can then create routings as a set of step-by-step operations for use in the Bill of Materials application without needing to recreate them every time.

Routing Software also provides a sophisticated base for future customization with a comprehensive tooling database, labor and machinery pricing algorithms and a complete shop calendar feature.
