Plywood

ERP Software for the Plywood Industry

DotOne runs plywood plants from veneer to dispatch. Sheets are stocked by size, thickness and grade, sold by the piece or by the square foot, and checked for thickness before they leave the press line.

What slows plywood businesses down

One product, hundreds of SKUs

Every grade comes in many thicknesses and sizes, so 8x4 and 7x4 sheets in a dozen thicknesses quickly become hundreds of items.

Priced by the square foot

Dealers ask for a rate per square foot, but invoices go out per sheet. Converting by hand on every order invites mistakes.

Thickness that drifts

A 12 mm sheet that comes out of the press at 11.4 mm is a complaint waiting to happen, and tolerances differ by thickness.

Dealer and distributor orders

Orders arrive from dealers, distributors and contractors, each with their own price list and credit terms.

From first step to last, in one system

  1. 1

    Quote the dealer

    Quotations and orders take a rate per square foot, and DotOne works out the sheet rate from each size.

  2. 2

    Plan the press

    Confirmed orders become job cards for hot pressing, cutting and bundling.

  3. 3

    Check thickness

    Quality checks record measured thickness against a tolerance set for each item's own thickness.

  4. 4

    Stock by size and grade

    Finished sheets go into stock by grade, thickness and size, in sheets and square feet.

  5. 5

    Dispatch and bill

    Bundles are dispatched against the order, invoiced with GST and synced to Tally.

Every sheet in stock. Every thickness checked.

Frequently asked questions

Can DotOne price plywood per square foot?

Yes. Sales lines can take a rate per square foot, and DotOne fills the rate per sheet from the sheet's length and width.

How are different sizes and thicknesses handled?

Sheets are set up with size, grade and thickness attributes and stocked in sheets and square feet, so you see stock for each combination without a separate spreadsheet.

Can we check plywood thickness in quality control?

Yes. Thickness checks use a tolerance centred on each item's own thickness. See quality management.

Does it work with Tally?

Yes. Invoices, receipts and masters sync with Tally Prime through the Tally connector.
