PARTS RESALE

Resale/Directed-Buy

​

The Resale module allows OEMs to manage Steel Resale/Directed-Buy Programs in a very efficient manner.  It allows users to validate metals usage by comparing OEM forecasted demand “to- Stamper orders “to- metals producer shipments.  Calculations are made for material subsidies and other costs, including calculation of scrap-premium recovery amounts (in multiple currencies, if appropriate).  Some benefits of our Resale/Directed-buy module include the following:

​

Parts Management

• OEM Bill Of Materials data synchronization

• Track pricing history of individual parts

• Capture changes to data (from/to, who, when, reason for change)

• Part data approval processes to ensure validity of data

​

Scrap Recovery

• Ability to recover scrap premiums based on actual data (important in periods of high scrap costs)

• Increased payments from suppliers for Scrap Recovery

​

Yield savings

• Better management of blank sizes (reduce waste in blanks)

• Steel consolidation opportunities (fewer material variants)

• Fewer issues with incorrect steel shipments

​

Manpower savings

• Significantly less labor is required to administer Steel Resale programs

• Quick and easy overview of steel supply chain dynamics

• Purchase Order data is available for all appropriate partners to see.

• Automated ordering

​

Resale Management

• Metal usage: audit capability to the part level (Demand vs Ordered vs Shipped)

• Subsidy calculation to the individual part level for any time period

• Subsidy forecasts to the part level for future time periods

• Pricing management (including pricing history, by part and steel type)

• Report generation for US Customs

• Automated invoicing from steel supplier
