InStock is a powerful, time and money saving software tool that gives the user the ability to optimize, organize and track stock material as well as reusable remnants that might otherwise have gone to waste. It is designed to facilitate the creation and maintenance of a materials database that can contain both full-sized sheets and offcuts, or remnant sizes. The contents of the database can be pulled directly into optimization software, allowing optimizations to be run against an accurate reflection of the current real-world material quantities and sizes on hand in the factory.
