TrulinX Software was Developed with the Input of Distributors Like You
TrulinX helps address the concerns of industrial instrumentation and process control distributors by capturing the total cost of each job, tracking each component, and knowing the freight, labor, burden, and external fabrications cost associated with each assembly. Some of TrulinX specialized features include:
Bill of Materials (BOM)
When quoting an assembly, TrulinX allows you to pick a pre-defined BOM, copy an existing one, or select one that may have several versions for easy quoting and order entry. Account for every component used in an assembly, even those that are damaged and scrapped during the fabrication process. The TrulinX BOM feature also allows integration of labor and burden lines so you can get a true picture of your gross margins. You can enter labor on a job by the total amount or by tracking time spent by specific employees. For assemblies that are specific to a customer or are always built slightly differently, TrulinX offers multiple versions per BOM parent that can be recalled, copied, modified, or saved as a new BOM at any time for more flexibility and customization of your BOMs.
Attach Specifications to Part Number
TrulinX protects against mistakes by allowing you to attach specs, CAD drawings, and photos to the part number. In addition, you can create templates with specific instructions for each assembly.
Part Inspection
Efficiently inspecting your incoming inventory with TrulinX can improve your quality control processes and result in fewer returned/rejected items.
Part Tracking
TrulinX provides the ability to assign serial numbers to your assemblies, so they can be tracked after it's been released to the customer.
Real-Time Business Activity Tracking
Get a real-time snapshot of your business and easily compare it to previous days/months/years. You will quickly get a pulse on your sales bookings, backlog, inventory position, receivables, and more. One easy click converts your data from bar to line charts.
Automatic Vendor Rebate Calculation
Protect your profits with the ability to automatically calculate rebates at the component level by your specific vendors’ items.
Make Your Industrial Distribution Business Even Better with Performance Metrics
Today’s industrial distributors need to have their finger on the pulse of their business. In addition, to knowing how your business is performing, you also need to be aware of the state of your industry and how you compare to industry peers.
