Manufacture Smarter, Deliver on Time


Free Consultation Contact us

If you make products, whether you assemble components, process raw materials, or build finished goods, you face a constant balancing act. You need enough raw materials to keep production running, but not so much that cash is tied up in inventory. You need to schedule work orders, so your team stays busy, but you also need to deliver finished products by your customers’ deadlines. We implement a complete manufacturing planning system that brings everything together. From raw material purchasing to shop floor scheduling to final delivery, you have full visibility and control, so you can produce efficiently, meet demand, and grow with confidence.


One System for Every Stage of Production

We set up a centralized manufacturing platform that connects your inventory, purchasing, production, and sales. Instead of managing separate spreadsheets for material needs, production schedules, and work orders, you have one place to plan and track everything.

The system starts with your sales orders or forecasts. It calculates what you need to build, when you need to build it, and what raw materials and components are required. It then helps you create purchase orders for materials that are low, schedule production jobs, and track progress on the shop floor. When a job is complete, finished goods go into inventory automatically, and if it was made for a specific customer order, the system can even trigger the shipping process.

Because everything is connected, you always know what materials are available, what’s in production, and what’s ready to ship—all in real time.


Bills of Materials – The Recipe for Every Product

At the heart of manufacturing is the bill of materials (BOM), the list of raw materials, components, and quantities needed to make each finished product. We set up BOMs for everything you produce, whether it’s a simple assembly (like a gift basket) or a complex product with dozens of parts and sub‑assemblies.

Your BOMs can be:

  • Single‑level – one list of components for the finished product.

  • Multi‑level – sub‑assemblies that themselves have their own BOMs (e.g., a motor that goes into a machine, and the motor is made from its own parts).

When you create a work order, the system automatically reserves the required materials from inventory, so you know you have what you need before production starts. If materials are short, it alerts you so you can reorder before the job is delayed.


Production Planning That Keeps You Ahead

Knowing what to build and when is critical. Our system helps you plan production based on real demand.

You can create work orders directly from sales orders, when a customer places an order, the system automatically generates a production job to fulfill it. For businesses that make to stock, you can set up master production schedules based on forecasts or minimum stock levels.

The system considers:

  • Material availability – are the required components in stock?

  • Work center capacity – do you have the machinery and staff available?

  • Lead times – how long does each production step take?

If a material is out of stock, the system can suggest postponing the work order or creating a purchase order. If you’re running at full capacity, you can see that before accepting new orders. You get a realistic view of what you can promise to customers.


Shop Floor Tracking – Know Where Every Job Stands

Once production begins, you need to track progress. Our system gives you a clear view of every work order, from “not started” to “completed.”

You can define work centers (e.g., cutting, assembly, packaging) and routings, the sequence of steps each product goes through. As work moves through the shop floor, workers can log time and quantities completed using simple screens or barcode scanners. Managers can see in real time which jobs are on schedule, which are behind, and where bottlenecks are forming.

For businesses that track labor or machine time, you can record actual hours against work orders. This helps you understand true production costs and identify opportunities to improve efficiency.


Inventory That Reflects Production

In manufacturing, inventory is dynamic. Raw materials come in, get consumed during production, and finished goods go out. Our system keeps everything in sync.

  • Raw materials – When you receive a purchase order, materials are added to inventory. When you start a work order, they are reserved and then deducted as components are consumed.

  • Work‑in‑progress (WIP) – Partially finished goods are tracked separately, so you know the value of inventory that’s in production.

  • Finished goods – When a work order is completed, finished products are added to inventory, ready for sale.

All of this flows to your accounting, so cost of goods sold is accurate and you can see profitability per product.


Designed for Different Types of Manufacturing

We tailor the system to match how you actually make products.

Make‑to‑Stock (MTS) – You produce based on forecasts and maintain safety stock. The system helps you calculate optimal production quantities and triggers new work orders when stock falls below minimum levels.

Make‑to‑Order (MTO) – You produce only after receiving a customer order. Work orders are created automatically from sales orders, and the system ensures you have materials and capacity before committing to a delivery date.

Engineer‑to‑Order (ETO) – You design and build custom products. The system allows you to create unique BOMs and routings for each project, track progress against milestones, and manage change orders.

Assembly / Kitting – You combine purchased components into finished kits (e.g., gift boxes, promotional packs). Simple BOMs and work orders help you assemble efficiently.

Process Manufacturing – You produce in batches (food, chemicals, beverages). The system can handle formulas, batch tracking, lot numbers, and expiration dates.

Repair and Rework – You may need to disassemble, repair, or refurbish returned products. Work orders can be created for service jobs, tracking parts used and labor time.

Whatever your manufacturing style, we configure the system to support it.


What We Do So You Don’t Have To

We handle the setup, training, and integration so you can start producing smarter.

  1. Understanding your products and processes – We learn about your product structure (BOMs), production steps, work centers, and how you currently plan.

  2. Setting up BOMs and routings – We configure your bills of materials and production workflows. We can import existing data to save time.

  3. Configuring planning parameters – We set up reorder rules, safety stock levels, lead times, and work center capacities to match your operations.

  4. Connecting to sales and purchasing – We link manufacturing with sales orders (to trigger make‑to‑order) and purchasing (to automate raw material buying).

  5. Training your team – We show your production planners, supervisors, and shop floor staff how to create work orders, track progress, and manage inventory.

  6. Go‑live support – We’re there during the transition to answer questions, tweak configurations, and ensure everything is working.

You don’t need to worry about complex manufacturing software or integration headaches, we take care of it.


Why an Integrated Manufacturing System Makes Your Life Easier

When manufacturing is managed with separate spreadsheets, paperwork orders, and manual communication, you face constant surprises: missing materials, idle workers, late deliveries.

With everything connected:

  • You know exactly what raw materials are needed and when to order them.

  • You can promise realistic delivery dates because you see capacity and material availability.

  • Your shop floor has clear instructions and real‑time visibility into what to build next.

  • Costs are tracked accurately, so you know which products are profitable.

  • You can scale production without adding administrative complexity.

It’s a system that helps you deliver quality products on time, control costs, and grow your manufacturing business.

Frequently asked questions

Here are some common questions asked about this service.

We can help you create BOMs by walking through your products and identifying components. It’s a one‑time effort that pays off in better planning and fewer shortages.

Yes. Multi‑level BOMs are fully supported. The system will calculate material requirements for all levels, reserving components for sub‑assemblies before they’re needed for final assembly.

You can define work centers and their available hours. The system can show you the load on each work center based on scheduled work orders, helping you spot bottlenecks before they occur.

We can set up a make‑to‑order workflow where each sales order generates a work order automatically. The system will check material availability and suggest purchase orders if needed.

Yes. The system records material costs (from components consumed) and labor costs (if you track time). You can see actual cost versus standard cost, and analyze profitability by job.

For a standard setup with BOMs and basic work orders, we typically have things running in 2–3 weeks. More complex manufacturing (multi‑level, capacity planning, multiple work centers) may take a bit longer. We’ll give you a timeline upfront.
