When a customer requests 100 feet of THHN wire, he wants one continuous length -- not one stretch of 30 feet and another of 70 feet. Therefore, keeping track of the amount of wire on your warehouse reels is important to your customers' satisfaction -- and vital to your profitability.

Activant's solutions include reel-tracking capabilities to ensure efficient and profitable cable and wire management. Distributors can track how much product is available on each reel and from where orders should be pulled. For example, if a customer requests 40 feet of wire, the solution will direct warehouse employees to pull the order from Reel A -- with 43 feet of wire -- rather than Reel B -- with 1,000 feet of wire. In fact, the solution will even suggest selling the customer 43 feet of wire to reduce the chance of 3 feet of scrap. The solution will even subtract the sum from the reel's total, eliminating guessing games and inventory discrepancies. You can assign reels numeric or alphabetic names, or identify them by manufacturers' specified reel numbers.
