Made Smarter is connecting makers to technology providers who can help them to rapidly adopt emerging technologies, provide technology demonstrations or deliver R&D to create the next innovative tools.
Are you a maker or engineer?
Through our technology providers directory, you can find suppliers who can support you on your digital journey. Whether you are looking for someone to help you overcome your business challenges, a research institution to help you develop an innovative solution or a demonstrator to see the technology in action.
Are you a technology provider?
Your role as a specialist technology provider is essential to turning this vision into reality. By joining our directory, you can support the UK manufacturing industry and our economy at large. You’ll benefit too. Manufacturers looking to work with technology providers will be able to search the directory, view your profile and expertise, and get in touch.

TOTA360
TOTA360 is a Zoho Creator–native business management suite from FlowsEasy, built around three connected applications — Core, Hire, and Manufacturing — that share a common Transaction/Transaction Line schema and master data (Items, Customers, Suppliers, Contacts, Warehouses, Currencies, GL Accounts, Taxes).
TOTA360 Core is the foundation app and schema master. It handles the full purchase-to-pay and order-to-cash cycle — Purchase Orders through Receive, Inspect, and Putaway on the inbound side, and Quote through Sales Order, Pack, Ship, Deliver, and Invoice on the outbound side — plus Stock Adjustments, Stock Transfers, and Customer/Supplier Returns. Every transaction is FIFO-costed, multi-warehouse aware, and supports Batch or Serial Number traceability. Core also integrates with Zoho Books, Zoho CRM, and Zoho WorkDrive.
TOTA360 Hire manages the rental/hire lifecycle of fleet assets on the same underlying schema, but replaces Core's FIFO stock model with fleet-specific mechanics: tracking assets by physical location and status (warehouse, on-hire, in transit, in repair, disposed). It covers Quote-to-Hire Order, contract signing, delivery (pack/ship/deliver), collection and return, swaps, asset transfers, and recurring invoicing.
TOTA360 Manufacturing is a standalone production management app that connects to Core via API for stock control and costing. Its capabilities include multi-level, versioned Bills of Materials; Manufacturing Orders that cascade into Works Orders per assembly level; a backward scheduling engine with At Risk detection; real-time operation execution (start/pause/finish) with time tracking and QC; per-operation cost recovery posted automatically to Zoho Books; Movement Tasks for WIP transfers; subcontract PO auto-generation; a Work Centre Capacity Heat Map; and built-in reports on cost variance, scrap rate, and rework rate.
Together, the suite targets small-to-mid-size businesses operating within the Zoho ecosystem that need integrated stock, sales/purchasing, rental, and production management without third-party middleware.
Want me to tailor this toward a specific audience — e.g., a sales one-pager, a prospect-facing pitch, or something more technical for an implementation team?

predictive maintenance as a service
NFIVE is a UK company delivering continuous, sensor-based condition monitoring and predictive analytics for rotating machinery. We work with UK manufacturers who cannot afford unplanned downtime during operating hours.
We are deliberately built for the UK SME: retrofit hardware, no capital rebuild, no in-house data science team required, and a service model priced for operations that run one or two sites rather than fifty.

Manufacturing Product & Process design
Mr Matthew J Fyfe
MeritOI is a process and measurement platform that dissolves the silos between the functions and tools of a product delivery ecosystem. It works by making the process explicit as a single shared structure that every function, tool and sensor feeds execution data into. Across industries from agriculture to construction, telemetry is now built into the tools people already use, but that data goes unused or stays siloed, locally to where its produced. Merit aggregates that data against the process. Now, the same picture lets an executor learn how to improve, lets their employer evaluate performance, and lets planning, coordination and optimisation run on measured reality instead of on the guesswork, memory and averages each silo works from today.

EntroMetrix
Through a unique and proprietary solution based on physics-informed machine learning, our software optimises industrial and manufacturing processes. The actual complexity of said processes is incredibly difficult for traditional tools to comprehend fully. Our cutting-edge product is able to model this complexity, uncover hidden efficiencies and build digital twins to support you in decision-making and best operational practice.

Connected Manufacturing Systems & Workflow Automation
We help manufacturers replace disconnected spreadsheets and systems by connecting sales, purchasing, stock, production, quality, traceability and finance. Our phased solution reduces manual work and errors and delivers better visibility, automation, dashboards, training and support.
Ascentis AI — Self-Hosted AI Systems for Manufacturers
Ascentis AI is a UK applied-AI consultancy for engineering and manufacturing SMEs. We build working AI systems across five areas: market intelligence, sales performance, innovation and product development, service excellence, and operational efficiency.
Our approach is deliberately practical. We go into the business, identify the AI use cases with genuine commercial value, write a bespoke specification and quotation, then build and deploy the system. Everything runs self-hosted on the client's own infrastructure — no data is sent to third-party AI APIs, which matters for manufacturers handling proprietary designs, customer IP or defence-adjacent work.
We also develop our own products. The first, Ascentis Cortex, is a self-hosted support intelligence engine that runs the technical-support lifecycle — capture, triage and resolution — trained on the client's own products, with every answer traceable to source.
Deployed on your infrastructure. Owned by your team. Measured by results.
