Industrial Process Control System & Equipment For Supply Chain Management
TrulinX software helps instrumentation and process control distributors manage supply chain costs. Industrial distributors of process control instruments, such as monitors, gauges, calibrators, sensors, and detectors, have the same manufacturing process concerns:
- How can I ensure that all of the components and subassemblies in my BOMs are being committed and allocated for a job?
- How can I effectively manage or achieve the desired gross margin?
- How do I expedite the components in my BOM assemblies?

With over 36 years of industry expertise, Tribute, Inc., knows how to best assist you by designing BOM software features around your business processes.

TrulinX Software was Developed with the Input of Distributors Like You
TrulinX helps address the concerns of industrial instrumentation and process control distributors and fabricators by capturing the total cost of each job on the factory floor, tracking each component with quality data, and knowing the freight, labor, burden, and external fabrications cost associated with each assembly.
Some of TrulinX specialized process control & measurement features
include:
Bill of Materials (BOM)
When quoting an assembly, TrulinX allows you to pick a pre-defined BOM, copy an existing one, or select one that may have several versions for easy quoting and order entry. Account for every component used in an assembly, even those that are damaged and scrapped during the fabrication process. The TrulinX BOM feature also allows integration of labor and burden lines so you can get a true picture of your gross margins. You can enter labor on a job by the total amount or by tracking time spent by specific employees. For assemblies that are specific to a customer or are always built slightly differently, TrulinX offers multiple versions per BOM parent that can be recalled, copied, modified, or saved as a new BOM at any time for more flexibility and customization of your BOMs.
Attach Specifications to Part Number
TrulinX protects against mistakes by allowing you to attach specs, CAD drawings, and photos to the part number. In addition, you can create templates with specific instructions for each assembly.
Part Inspection
Efficiently inspecting your incoming inventory with TrulinX can improve your quality control processes and result in fewer returned/rejected items.
Part Tracking
TrulinX provides the ability to assign serial numbers to your assemblies, so they can be tracked after it's been released to the customer.
Real-Time Business Activity Tracking
Get a real-time snapshot of your business and easily compare it to previous days/months/years. Our custom control charts will quickly give you a pulse on your sales bookings, backlog, inventory position, receivables, and more. One easy click converts your data from bar to line charts.
Automatic Vendor Rebate Calculation
Protect your profits with the ability to automatically calculate rebates at the component level by your specific vendors’ items.
Make Your Industrial Distribution Business Even Better with Performance Metrics
