Frequently asked questions
BlindMatrix Inventory & Materials helps manufacturers of blinds, curtains, shutters and other related products manage fabrics, components, stock and purchasing. It connects material requirements with upcoming jobs, helping teams understand what is available, what is already reserved and what needs purchasing.
Yes. BlindMatrix tracks full fabric rolls, part rolls and reusable offcuts or remnants. Leftover fabric can be saved for future use, and when a new order's measurements match an available offcut, BlindMatrix automatically suggests it. This helps manufacturers reuse existing materials, reduce unnecessary purchases and minimise fabric waste.
Yes. BlindMatrix distinguishes between available stock and stock already allocated to confirmed jobs. Available stock can be used for new orders, while allocated stock is reserved for existing work. This helps manufacturers avoid using materials that have already been committed to other jobs.
Yes. BlindMatrix supports bills of materials (BOMs) using configured product rules, measurements and selected options to identify the fabrics, components and other materials needed for each job. This helps manufacturing and purchasing teams understand material requirements before work begins.
Yes. BlindMatrix connects each made-to-measure job with its required fabrics and components. Materials can be identified and allocated in advance, helping manufacturers reserve stock for confirmed orders and understand what remains available for upcoming work.
BlindMatrix provides a stock dashboard that gives manufacturers a clear view of material availability and stock levels. Teams can compare available stock with upcoming job requirements to identify shortages early and take action before work begins, helping prevent delays caused by missing fabrics or components.
Yes. BlindMatrix lets you set reorder levels for individual materials and notifies your team when stock reaches those levels, prompting them to raise a purchase order (PO). Combined with upcoming job requirements, this helps purchasing teams plan orders at the right time, reducing urgent purchases, unnecessary spending and excess stock.
Yes. BM Copilot, the AI assistant built into BlindMatrix, uses recorded inventory information to answer questions about stock and material requirements. Teams can ask which materials are running low, whether enough stock is available for a particular job or what may need reordering before manufacturing begins.
