Weight, grade and yield, not just quantity

Salem's industrial base — steel and stainless units, textile processing, poultry and sago among others — shares a characteristic that shapes software requirements: material is measured by weight and grade rather than simple piece counts, and yield varies between input and output.

Generic inventory software that assumes "10 units in, 10 units out" breaks immediately in that environment. Systems here need to handle weight-based stock, grade variation and process loss as normal behaviour.

What we build for Salem businesses

Weight and grade-based inventory — stock tracked by weight, grade and batch rather than assuming uniform units. Inventory management →

Process and yield tracking — input versus output per batch, so yield loss is measurable rather than assumed. Production management →

Purchase and supplier records — rate-driven procurement with supplier performance history. Order & purchase →

Billing with variable pricing — rates that move with grade, weight and market conditions. Billing software →

Custom ERP — the above connected into one system. ERP development →

Frequently asked questions

Can the system handle weight-based stock and grade variation? Yes, and it needs to — that's usually the first thing that rules out off-the-shelf inventory products for businesses here.

Can it integrate with weighbridge data? In many cases yes, depending on your weighbridge system. Tell us what you have and we'll confirm what's feasible before scoping.

We currently run everything on Excel. Where do we start? Usually with whichever process causes the most daily friction — often stock or billing — rather than trying to replace everything at once.
