FAQ

Questions before you join

Is this an ERP replacement?

No. The concept is a focused spreadsheet cleaner for raw material inventory, allocations, dimensions, and reorder flags.

What material formats would it handle?

The target is common messy rows for bar, tube, plate, sheet, drops, remnants, racks, jobs, and available quantity fields.

Does it give purchasing advice?

No. It only organizes and flags inventory records; buying decisions stay with the shop.

What should I write in the use case box?

Describe the messy fields you have: grades, dimensions, rack locations, allocated jobs, remnants, min quantities, or unit conversions.
