Watchmaking & precious materials management
An important challenge
Irrespective of your precious materials management mode, tracking is the most important. Tracking that is weak, not rigorous enough or precise can turn out to be expensive very quickly.
Likewise, you must react efficiently to the price fluctuations of precious materials, in terms of stock valuation and invoicing, have an overview of customer and supplier weight-accounts, and an absolute control over the entire Supplier chain throughout your manufacturing processes.
A complete functional coverage is extremely important: Finance, Sales, Purchase, Subcontracting, Supply chain, Manufacturing, CRM, etc.
Your requirements are crucial and ProConcept responds to it in a highly efficient and precise manner, regardless of the management mode for your precious materials and your manufacturing processes, by integrating the best industrial practices.
Product composition - precious materials and alloys, gem stones
ProConcept lets you freely define the composition of your products in raw precious materials or alloys, by taking the setting of gemstones into consideration.
This way you can have a multi-level view, use cases and bills of materials, and also easily update the basic data of precious materials based on your criteria.
Highly efficient automations and comfort.
Precious materials tracking
You can track your precious materials all through the Supply Chain, and during the entire manufacturing process, in workshops, by weighing station, etc.
ProConcept offers you absolute control over your precious materials.
Weighing management
You can manage all your weighings from A to Z, by defining the control circuit with its weighing stations, and the inclusion of gem-setting operations, and two-tone parts (precious material alloys and alloys of other materials).
- Inventory by workstation and interfacing with the weighing scales simplify your job.
- You can query your weighings based on various criteria (operator, batch, product, etc.) and you can know what your losses and shavings (refining) exactly are.
- Therefore, you can have an exact and complete control over your precious materials and those that are entrusted to you.
Rates and valuation
ProConcept lets you manage your rates based on the COFITER and/or COFIPAC tables, or based on specific tables for third-parties, for example, for your subcontractors. ProConcept manages rates by alloy or by raw material. These market rates can be linked specifically to a third party for invoicing purposes. You can update them easily.
ProConcept considers various weights (delivered, invested, theoretical, shavings, loss, recoverable, etc.) for the entire bill of materials of the product, with a separate valuation for the cost of precious materials and workmanship costs.
Invoicing
ProConcept offers you a clear and complete invoicing management for precious materials, which considers all aspects specific to this business (workmanship/material costs, advance management, etc.), irrespective of domains such as sales, purchases and subcontracting.
Naturally, the workmanship costs are separated from the material costs and all the expenses are included, for example: refining expenses, alloying costs, etc.
Whether the material is invoiced by the subcontractor, partially or completely, confided by the customer, or returned by the customer (at the end of the month), with advance deductions, etc. ProConcept is there to help in terms of invoicing (current rate, order rate), and it also includes the price fluctuations of precious materials.
Weight accounts
You have control panels available that summarize all the weight accounts by supplier and customer, with definitive and provisional entries. It does all this and more for a precise and efficient control.
Inventory
ProConcept lets you run an inventory of precious materials by post, alloy, or product on a specific date, initialize alloy weights by workstation on a given date, and retain a log of the inventories run.
Furthermore, the valuation of these products can be made in pre-calculation by alloy or by precious materials, and it also lets you obtain an inventory price separating the workmanship cost from the precious material costs.
You can easily evolve the value of your stock of products composed of precious materials during fluctuating rates.
