Precast
Gesthorm is an ERP built specifically for producing ready mix concrete, quarry and precast products. In a precast concrete factory it handles materials management: what you buy, what you have in stock, what each mix design costs and how the business is doing.
A precast concrete product starts out just like ready mix: cement, aggregates, admixtures and water according to a mix design. The difference is that the concrete doesn't leave in a truck but turned into units, and more time passes between buying the raw material and selling.
That's why materials matter so much. If you don't know how much cement and aggregate you have, what that stock is worth and what each mix design really costs you, the price of what you sell is worked out blind.
As well as materials, Gesthorm handles administrative and financial management: customers, quotes with their profitability, delivery notes, invoices with Spain's Veri*Factu, collections, each customer's credit risk and complete integrated accounting, or export of sales invoices and collections to your accounting software.
And with the dashboards you check sales, purchases, profitability and consumption on any device.
What it brings to a precast concrete factory:
An ERP built specifically for ready mix concrete, quarry and precast products, not generic software.
Using the price of raw materials and their haulage in each purchase.
Deliveries versus consumption, plant by plant.
It adapts to each company's specific requirements if needed.
Every precast factory organises its production differently. Gesthorm is not meant to be a tool that forces you to adapt to the way it works: it is open to being modified, extended and tailored to your company's needs. In the demo we'll look with you at what yours needs.
The blog has a guide to organising a factory's production and stock: Precast concrete: production and stock (in Spanish). And if you also have ready mix concrete plants, Gesthorm centralises several plants in the same software.
