Online portal
BlindMatrix’s ultra-modern online ordering portal enables suppliers or large manufacturers to receive orders directly into their system from their trade customers. Your trade customers can easily configure their products with accurate pricing. You can set up discounts against each trade customer and customise their pricing. You can also set up credit limits against each trade customer based on their financial stability or transaction history. Also, your trade customers can make payments via the portal.
Moreover, you can leverage your trade customers to use this trade portal to process orders for their own customers by providing quotations, invoices, order confirmations, delivery notes etc. Your trade customers can add their own markups, logos and company details to provide these reports to their customers. They can also track all their ongoing jobs, quotations as well as completed jobs. They can also see the information via dashboards.
You can also pass any updates or messages or alerts to your trade customers via the message portal in the dashboard.

Manufacturing
Customise and create work orders and labels to manufacture window blinds, shutters, curtains and awnings. Generate the cut sheets, allowances and manufacturing calculations, along with barcodes. In BlindMatrix, we understand that manufacturers need a comprehensive system to manage their production processes.
With the dynamic BlindMatrix manufacturing module, you can derive production calculations by writing simple formulas in the system. The format of the formula inputs resembles the excel sheets that you are familiar with.
For instance, for rollers, you will get the manufacturing outputs like the fabric width, fabric drop, fabric quantity, tube size, bottom bar size, fascia size, chain length, etc.
For verticals, you will get the number of slats required, total fabric quantity, headrail cut, hem to hem, etc.
For Venetians, the number of slats required, hole spacing, etc.
You can customise and design your work orders and labels with all the above-mentioned values.
You can create multiple labels using the BlindMatrix manufacturing module. For example, fabric labels, product labels, packaging labels, shipping labels, etc. We will customise the labels as per your label printers and the label sizes. Also, we can add multiple types of barcodes against each label.
Overall, our manufacturing module is designed to give you the flexibility and accuracy you need for meeting the highest quality standards in terms of products and a streamlined production process.


Stock management
Managing inventory and reducing wastage can be one of the biggest challenges for manufacturers in the blinds industry. However, with BlindMatrix’s stock management module, this task has become much easier for businesses that manufacture blinds, curtains, and shutters.
In BlindMatrix, you can easily manage a variety of raw materials, such as fabrics, tubes, brackets, valences, end-caps, cassettes, bottom bars, and more. The software will calculate the Bill of Materials (BOM) for each product, providing you with a list of raw materials needed to manufacture it. As orders come in, the software will deduct the necessary raw materials from your inventory based on the BOM, ensuring that you always have the right materials on hand.
To further streamline the inventory management process, BlindMatrix allows you to set up re-order levels, which trigger automatic purchase orders to your suppliers when your stock falls below a specified level. You can also set up minimum and maximum purchase order quantities, ensuring that you always order the right amount of raw materials.
With BlindMatrix’s stock management module, you can efficiently maintain your inventory and reduce wastage, ultimately saving time and money. Contact us today to learn more about how BlindMatrix can help your blinds, curtains, and shutters business thrive.

Capacity Planning
BlindMatrix has an advanced capacity planner to schedule production based on resource availability. It calculates the manufacturing dates of each product automatically, depending on the real-time staff capacity. And, the order due date is calculated based on the latest or the longest manufacturing due date of the product.
The smart software will dynamically change the capacity based on the staff leaves. Also, we can change the capacities manually, by moving the staff from one department to another.
Thus, the advanced capacity planner improves productivity and helps you set production deliverable targets efficiently. With time management and smart production allocation, you can produce more orders within a limited span of time.

EDI
BlindMatrix software integrates easily with multiple other software used by different suppliers for sending out purchase orders. The orders will be exported from BlindMatrix software in multiple formats like XML, CSV, ORD & JSON and sent to the supplier’s FTP folder. From there, the suppliers will import the orders directly into their software. This will save a lot of time in entering the order data manually into the supplier’s software or portal. Also, it will eliminate the chances of human errors while inputting the information manually.
BlindMatrix can also receive the order statuses from the suppliers so that the retailers can track their orders in real-time about the ongoing statuses in the supplier’s software.
The supplier product catalogue is set up in the BlindMatrix software as it is in the supplier’s portal so that it is easier for the retailers to place orders in BlindMatrix with accurate pricing, product information, product rules, etc.
Thus, with the EDI integration feature in BlindMatrix, it is easier and faster to get all the orders delivered to the suppliers in the blink of an eye by preventing any room for errors and saving a huge amount of time. Transferring detailed order data is both accurate and efficient with BlindMatrix.

Financial Management
Suppliers can maintain their customer’s credit limit, credit balance, payments received and payments outstanding. BlindMatrix software can be integrated with multiple accounting software to transfer financial information. BlindMatrix software can completely control your business’s financial side. Starting from the product price calculations and tax calculations, to invoice creation and payment tracking (both received and outstanding) the software solely handles everything.
The best part is, BlindMatrix software integrates with multiple popular accounting software like Xero, Quickbooks, Sage, Uniconta, MYOB, etc. To avoid re-entering all the data manually, you can use the BlindMatrix software to transfer all your sales orders and payments into the above-mentioned accounting software directly. In addition, you can generate multiple financial reports to get information like revenue generated in a month, profits earned monthly, commissions, top revenue-generating customers, etc.

Workroom
Fully streamline the workroom/manufacturing processes by scanning the barcodes at each manufacturing workstation. Different products pass through multiple workstations to complete the production process.
For instance, a roller blind passes through inventory consumption, fabric cutting, saw cutting, assembling station, quality check, packaging and shipping.
The production staff who work in the respective workstation will scan the barcodes on the labels/work orders to notify the software that they have completed their allocated task. So, the real-time update on the production will get reflected on the software. With this, you can stay informed about the production progress through reports or dashboards.

Fabric-cutting table integration
BlindMatrix integrates with multiple cutting tables. It sends the information about the cut lengths after adding or deducting the allowances. The data will be transferred to the tables via XML or CSV formats. The benefits of this feature are that it saves you the manual inputting process and an enormous amount of time.

Priority Support
BlindMatrix holds the easiest method of seeking help for suppliers. All the suppliers can get a dedicated account manager, data analyst, and report builders to supervise and operate their accounts, update data and customize reports. Nonetheless, developers at BlindMatrix have got the back of businesses for any changes deemed necessary for software customizations.
