Any company in the metal construction industry realizes the importance of tracking coils throughout their product life cycle. Adjutant’s coil tracking features automates this time-consuming and paperheavy process. Coils are assigned a special item attribute that prompts special reflexes throughout Adjutant which are unique to coil material. Receiving coil triggers special prompts and coil tag printing. Coil weight and unit cost conversions are handled uniquely with more options for seeing the weights and costs for coil. Also, there are special setup optimizations for handling coil that make processes like slitting and modifying quick and simple. Adjutant’s coil tracking features give you visibility into the entire life cycle of a coil, from it’s purchase to the last job it was used for.

It begins with purchasing. Purchasing information, including mill details, material details, and original measurement data is automatically stored for each coil using a unique lot number. Coil tag labels with critical details and bar code features are printed immediately upon receipt and may be reprinted at any time. Coil receipt default information can be defined which allow you to quickly and easily store valuable reporting and tracking information for each received coil.

Coils are simultaneously tracked in both pounds and lineal feet, and a separate cost per unit is stored for each. This built-in flexibility allows for deeper analysis of costs and additional reporting options.

Document Imaging allows documents to be stored either with the original purchase order, or directly with each unique coil. Each coil can have it’s own Document Vault that contain the critical documents and files, such as MTRs, available to review with the click of a mouse. No more searching through file cabinets or maintaining piles of paper documents for years and years.

Adjutant makes it easy to track every moment of a coil’s life cycle using a variety of reports and onscreen displays. Every system action affecting the inventory quantity or value of the coil is recorded and time-stamped for complete traceability. The coil history display contains all of the critical information, along with drill-down functionality into each associated document so you can research deeper just by clicking. Plus, the history log can easily be printed, emailed or exported to share with the necessary people.
