Common Problems MRP
Software Solves

Running production without structured material planning creates waste, delays, and
chaos. Manufacturers of complex, multi‑component products — especially those
managing semi‑finished goods — often face these common challenges

🚫 Unexpected Shortages

Production halts due to missing components. Inventory looks full, but key parts are unavailable

📦 Overstocking and Tied‑Up Capital

Without accurate demand forecasts, materials are over‑purchased “just in case”

🔄 Disconnected Production & Purchasing

Manufacturing plans and purchasing aren’t aligned, leading to last‑minute orders and delays

🔧 Hard‑to‑Manage Multi‑Level BOMs

When components are used across several assemblies, manual tracking becomes unreliable

📉 No Forecasting or Reorder Planning

Teams rely on spreadsheets or guesswork to replenish inventory, often too late

Before Kladana, we were doing everything in Excel. All the stock and production records were maintained in spreadsheets. We weren’t able to arrange timely updates for the information about warehouse stocks: the materials we were receiving, the goods we were shipping.

In Kladana, we found the functionality we were looking for. In combination with affordability, it worked as a decisive factor. Another important area is tracking the amount of yield our company is getting. In this respect Kladana is suitable to our requirements, and we are going to start using the Financials module of the solution.
