Bespoke MRP Software
Our cloud-based MRP system is built specifically for small and medium manufacturers who have outgrown manual spreadsheets but do not want the complexity or expense of enterprise-level software.
It provides a practical, unified platform to manage the full production cycle, from initial procurement through to final shipping. By linking every area of your operations in real time, the system ensures that a change in one department, such as a delayed supplier delivery or an urgent customer order, is immediately visible to everyone else, eliminating the communication gaps that lead to production bottlenecks.
The core of the system is a robust inventory and stock management module. It uses barcode scanning across all key entity types to maintain high levels of accuracy without adding administrative burden. This accuracy flows directly into our multi-level Bills of Materials and product structures, allowing you to check stock availability and material costs instantly before committing to production deadlines. When stock levels hit a defined minimum, the system can automatically generate purchase orders, ensuring your production line never stalls due to missing components.
For the shop floor, we provide browser-based terminals that work on any connected device, including tablets and mobile phones. This enables a paperless environment where operators can clock in, progress work orders, log downtime and complete digital quality control checklists in real time. Because the shop floor terminal does not require a complex system login, it is easy for team members to adopt quickly. Supervisors get a bird's eye view of the entire factory from the office dashboard, allowing them to monitor progress and identify bottlenecks as they happen.
