ERP Software Replication
VEKON software is integrated with the existing ERP system of companies. All data is registered and managed from one place. The ERP replication software prevents the necessity to enter the information to each system separately, and increases efficiency while avoiding incorrect entry.
Weighbridge Software and Inventory Management
The trucks bringing in raw material such as sand and aggregate are first weighed on the weighbridge before entering the premises. This allows us to easily overview two tasks: the acceptance of the waybills and the inventory management. Immediately after the weighing, the system automatically creates a stock card and prints out a weigh bill (memo will replace this word). The operator can conduct the weighing process from their own screen without having to use any extra employees. The module records all the procedures during weighing and approves the agreed upon waybill. As the product is registered officially, the stock management process can also be commenced, allowing the module to complete the two tasks.
Incoming Quality Control and Concrete Mix Design Module
The module allows the laboratories to register the records obtained from the different material tests, create formula designs based on these data, test whether the designed formula is suitable with the concrete type and features, and prepare the gradation curve.
