Frequently asked questions

What is assembly management software and who needs it?
Assembly management software is designed for manufacturers and businesses that transform individual components into finished or semi-finished products. It is essential for companies that need to maintain accuracy between their production processes and inventory levels. This includes small to mid-sized manufacturers, assembly shops, and any business that builds products from multiple parts. With StockFlow, you gain complete control over your assembly operations, from defining what goes into each product to tracking the final output in your inventory.
How does assembly management differ from kitting?
While both processes involve combining items, they serve different purposes. Assembly creates a new product by transforming components through a defined build process, often involving multiple levels of sub-assemblies. Kitting, on the other hand, simply groups existing items together for storage or shipment without any transformation. StockFlow supports both methodologies: use our bill of materials and build records for assembly operations, and our inventory kitting features for pre-packaged sets that require no assembly.
Can I manage complex products with multiple sub-assemblies?
Yes, StockFlow is built to handle products of any complexity. You can create sub-assemblies as standalone products with their own bill of materials, assemble and stock them independently, and then use them as components in higher-level assemblies. This multi-level BOM capability ensures that you maintain accurate cost calculations and availability tracking at every stage of your production process, from raw materials to final products.
Does the software provide cost tracking and yield analysis?
Our assembly management software provides comprehensive cost tracking that rolls up all component costs into the final assembled product. It also records both expected and actual production output, allowing you to track cost variances and identify scrap occurrences. This level of detail enables you to analyze the true profitability of each assembly operation, make data-driven decisions, and continuously improve your production efficiency.
What are the pricing options for assembly management software?
StockFlow offers a free plan that includes complete bill of materials functionality and assembly build capabilities. This allows you to start managing your assemblies without any upfront investment. For businesses that need additional features such as advanced order management, team collaboration tools, or higher usage limits, our paid plans start at just $9.00 per month. All plans come with no credit card required to begin, and you can upgrade or downgrade as your business needs change.
How does StockFlow ensure inventory accuracy during assembly?
StockFlow maintains inventory accuracy through its inventory-led approach to assembly management. When you create an assembly job, the system automatically deducts the required components from your inventory as they are consumed. Once the assembly is completed, the finished product is automatically added to your stock. This real-time synchronization eliminates manual data entry errors and ensures your inventory records always reflect your actual stock levels.
