Context

HB Elements is a manufacturer of PVC exterior architectural trim, custom millwork, and moulding, designed for use with their proprietary installation system. To optimize operations, The SilverLogic developed HB1-S, a powerful platform that integrates with NetSuite to track sales orders, work orders, and project progress across design, manufacturing, and shipping.

The platform provides real-time tracking of each item’s status, ensuring visibility and control throughout the workflow. Whether an item is in design, production, or awaiting shipment, users can see its exact position and receive notifications for delays or bottlenecks.

Key Features & Capabilities:

* Sales Order & Workflow Tracking – Syncs with NetSuite to monitor order status and progress across all stages.

* Project Management Tools – Kanban boards and project dashboards provide a high-level view of project statuses and completion percentages.

* Automated Scheduling & Resource Allocation – The system schedules items based on department bandwidth, due dates, and priorities to ensure an optimized workflow.

* CNC Programming Queue Management – A dedicated dashboard prioritizes and schedules CNC machine work orders for efficient production.

* Production Calendar & Cost Tracking – Tracks time spent in manufacturing each item, allowing for accurate cost estimation and resource planning.

By integrating advanced tracking, automated scheduling, and CNC workflow management, HB1-S enables greater efficiency, transparency, and production optimization for HB Elements’ custom fabrication and trim manufacturing.
