Powder-Trans improved work and warehouse management with Cloud ERP and Cloud Assets

Powder-Trans Ab Oy, founded in 1972, has grown into one of the largest powder transport operators in the Nordics. In addition to transport operations, the company manufactures and services equipment and provides warehousing services for customers in Finland and Sweden.

As the business expanded, inventory and workshop parts management became increasingly complex. Powder-Trans needed a solution that works seamlessly across different units and use cases—while providing real-time visibility without heavy manual processes.

The solution was Cloud Assets, implemented in 2019.

Starting point: a growing inventory landscape and the need for real-time visibility

Over the years, Powder-Trans faced growing challenges in managing both customer inventories and workshop spare parts. The company needed a unified way to manage stock while serving multiple operational and customer-facing needs.

Key requirements included:

● Managing customer inventories and spare parts in one system
● Real-time visibility into stock levels
● Easy reporting for customers and invoicing
● Optional customer access to view their own inventory balances
● Reducing manual work and errors

Solution: Cloud Assets as a flexible inventory management tool

Cloud Assets met Powder-Trans’s needs thanks to its flexibility. The system is used to manage both customer inventory items and workshop spare parts, including stock levels. Inventory status is visible in real time, and reports can easily be generated for customers and billing purposes.

When needed, customers can be given their own user credentials to monitor their inventory balances directly in the system.

Mobile app: faster and smoother warehouse operations

The Cloud Assets mobile app has brought significant efficiency to inventory management. Using QR product codes, stock levels can be increased or decreased directly on site without manual entries.

Paper lists and office-based reconciliations are now a thing of the past, and everyday warehouse work has become significantly faster.

Work management and time tracking in one unified solution

Powder-Trans uses Cloud ERP for time tracking and shift planning. When Cloud ERP was integrated with Cloud Assets, employees were provided with a single, clear mobile app for all daily work-related tasks.

With the app, employees can:

● Clock in and out
● Check work shifts
● Update inventory balances
● Approve work orders
● Record expenses, mileage, and materials

Overall impact: a unified process that improves transparency and efficiency

Using Cloud ERP and Cloud Assets together has given Powder-Trans a clear, transparent, and reliable way to manage inventory, work tasks, and time entries within one integrated process.

Real-time data improves customer service, simplifies internal communication, and reduces errors, as all actions are recorded directly in the right place.

Employees benefit from a simple and intuitive user interface, customers gain real-time inventory visibility—and the company gains a modern, unified work management system that supports growth and smoother day-to-day operations.
