Connect orders, materials, production and dispatch—so your team knows what is ready, what is missing and what happens next.
Plan your manufacturing setup ↗
Bring the office and shop floor onto the same page.
The delays often happen between teams. We connect those handoffs to a clear record, an owner and a next step.
Materials are recorded in one place. Production priorities sit in another.
Standardise items, warehouses and assembly requirements. Scope material planning and work-order controls around your process.
Updates arrive through calls, spreadsheets and handwritten production notes.
Build a shared work-order view with stage ownership, status updates and quality checkpoints.
Material, purchase and sales records are reviewed separately, long after dispatch.
Align operational records with accounting and build reports around agreed costing assumptions.
A useful system does more than record progress. It helps the right person respond when materials, capacity or quality put an order at risk.
The next job needs 120 seals. Only 80 are recorded as available.
Surface the 40-unit gap against the job, then route a purchase request to the buyer. Update availability when the receipt is recorded.

One work centre is unavailable. The affected job is still on today’s schedule.
Flag the affected order for the production planner. Record an approved change to the slot or work centre and share the revised plan.

A batch is awaiting inspection. Dispatch needs a clear release decision.
Record the inspection, assign exceptions and capture an authorised decision. Configure the dispatch workflow to check the release status.

The finished goods are ready, but the dispatch records are incomplete.
Give the dispatch owner a readiness checklist for packing, shipment and billing records. Flag missing information for follow-up before handover.

Interactive examples with sample data. Alerts, approvals and connections are configured to your agreed scope; decisions remain with your team.
Five core tools to scope around your operation. We define the connections, responsibilities and reporting before configuring them.
Item masters, warehouses, assemblies and batch or serial tracking.

Review order types, BOMs, stores, production stages and reporting needs with your team.
Set up the agreed apps, permissions, approvals and custom workflows. Clean and migrate the required records.
Walk through materials, assembly, exceptions and dispatch. Reconcile stock and balances before sign-off.
Train each role on its daily tasks, agree a cutover plan and support the team through the first operating cycle.

Yes, we can scope a migration of agreed masters, opening balances, stock and other required records. The plan includes data cleanup, trial imports and reconciliation before cutover.
No. We recommend the combination that fits your workflow, users and reporting needs. App subscriptions, custom development and integrations are confirmed in the proposal.
We assess the interfaces and data available from each existing system. Machine-level controls remain in their appropriate systems; any data connection is scoped and tested separately.
The timeline depends on production complexity, data quality, integrations and team availability. After discovery, we agree phases, responsibilities, testing milestones and go-live criteria.
