What Material Management
Software Helps You Solve

📉 No Visibility into Real‑Time Material Stock

You don’t know what’s available, what’s reserved, or what’s about to run out

⚠️ Overstocking or Shortages
of Raw Materials

Without alerts or tracking, teams buy “just in case” or discover they’ve run out too late

🔄 No Link between Material Usage and Production

It’s unclear how much of each material was used or replaced in a specific production order

📦 Scattered Materials across Sites

Multiple locations, no centralized stock view — hard to manage bins, batches, or stock movements

🧪 Inaccurate Tracking of Expiry or Batches

Especially critical in food, cosmetics, chemicals, or electronics — missed tracking = waste

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.
