ERP & AutoCount systems for plastic trading companies
Plastic and resin trading looks like simple buy-and-sell from the outside. Inside, it is one of the harder trading businesses to keep accurate — and we have built systems for it.
The difficulty comes from a few things at once: many grades and specifications, prices that move with raw-material and oil costs, minimum order quantities, batch or lot tracking, and customers who each have their own terms. When all of that is managed in spreadsheets feeding AutoCount by hand, two problems appear fast: stock you cannot trust, and margins you only see after the fact.
What makes plastic trading specific
- Many grades, easy to confuse. Similar-looking material with different specs means picking and stock errors are common without clear codes and controls.
- Volatile pricing. When cost moves with the market, margin per order matters — and it is invisible if purchase cost, sale price and stock are disconnected.
- MOQs and packaging units. Buying and selling in different units (bags, pallets, kg) needs a system that converts cleanly, not manual maths.
- Batch / lot traceability. When a customer queries a batch, you need to trace it without digging through paper.
What we build for plastic traders
- Inventory and warehouse control with grade, batch and unit handling
- Purchase order automation tied to real stock and supplier cost
- Margin-per-order visibility for owners
- AutoCount integration so the accounting record stays clean without re-keying
This sits inside our broader work for trading companies; plastic trading just has sharper edges around grades and pricing.
