Frequently Asked Questions

Can't find the answer to your question? Contact us at [email protected] or use the chat in the bottom-right corner, and we'll respond promptly.

Can I work with multiple storage locations?

Yes, the system supports unlimited storage locations for comprehensive inventory management. You can create separate locations for raw materials, finished goods, work-in-progress items, and maintain accurate tracking for each. The platform also enables seamless material transfers between locations with complete traceability.

How does automatic cost calculation work?

Manufacturing costs are calculated automatically based on your bill of materials using the FIFO method. The system accounts for materials, labor costs, equipment depreciation, utilities, and all other cost components you specify in your product configurations.

Does the system support production planning and scheduling?

Yes, you can create production plans for any period and track the status of each production run through all stages (Planned → In Progress → Completed). The system automatically reserves materials and calculates purchasing requirements to ensure optimal production flow.

Is material consumption automated?

Yes, when production moves to "In Progress" status, materials are automatically deducted from inventory according to the bill of materials. Upon completion, finished goods are automatically received into your designated storage location.

How does the system manage suppliers and customers?

The platform maintains comprehensive supplier and customer databases with complete collaboration history. Legal entity information is automatically populated using tax identification numbers. You can track payment statuses and monitor outstanding balances effectively.

What reports and analytics are available?

Over 20 report types including inventory turnover statements, stock level reports, purchasing and selling price dynamics, ABC analysis for materials and products, movement history, and profit and loss statements. All reports can be exported to Excel for further analysis.

Can I run inventory audits?

Yes, the system supports both partial and complete inventory audits. After entering actual stock counts, the system automatically generates variance reports showing discrepancies and their monetary impact for accurate inventory reconciliation.

Does the system handle multi-level production with intermediate components?

Yes, you can create multi-level bill of materials with intermediate components. For example, create a "Motor Assembly" component and use it across different appliances or machines. The system tracks the entire production cycle from raw materials to finished goods.

Can I import data from other systems?

Yes, the platform supports importing materials, products, and opening balances from CSV and Excel files. Our team provides complimentary assistance with data migration from other inventory management systems when needed.

Does the system work on mobile devices?

Yes, Controlata operates through any modern web browser on computers, tablets, and smartphones. The mobile interface is optimized for efficient operation on smaller screens while maintaining full functionality.

Can the system be customized for our specific needs?

While custom development isn't available, we maintain an ideas portal where users suggest and vote on new features. Community-supported ideas with the highest engagement are prioritized for development and implementation.
