Live demo · Software · Small and mid-size manufacturers

Know what’s short before the line stops.

Plan an order and the system explodes its bill of materials, checks stock and open purchase orders, and shows shortages days before the start — then follows the order through job work and quality checks.

The problem

“We find out a raw material is short after the production line stops.”

What is manufacturing ERP software?

Manufacturing ERP software plans production from your bills of materials: it works out what each order needs, reserves what is in stock, flags shortages before the start date and drafts purchase requests. It also tracks job work, quality checks and every stage of an order on one screen.

Built around your workflow: this demo is a starting point — screens, fields, rules and integrations are made to fit your business.

How the system works · how we measured

In the demo, planning an order explodes its bill of materials and lists shortages against stock and open orders before production starts.

01 · The problem

What problem does it solve?

A steel-furniture maker plans production on a whiteboard. The store-keeper checks raw material by walking the store, and purchase hears about a shortage when the line is already waiting.

Parts go to powder-coating and welding job workers on handwritten challans. Nobody knows exactly what sits with each job worker, and the quarterly ITC-04 return is rebuilt from paper.

  • Idle lines

    Production stops for one missing input.

  • Panic buying

    Urgent purchases at higher rates.

  • Stock at job workers

    Material out on challans goes untracked.

  • Late quality problems

    Defects found after the batch is packed.

02 · The solution

How does Manufacturing ERP fix it?

  1. 01

    Plan from the bill of materials

    Each product’s BOM — down to sheets, hardware and packing — turns an order into exact material needs.

  2. 02

    Shortages before the start

    Needs are checked against stock and open purchase orders; shortages appear against the order’s start date with a purchase request.

  3. 03

    Job work on record

    Challans, quantities out and back and process loss are tracked per job worker, and feed the ITC-04 return.

  4. 04

    Quality at every stage

    Checks per batch with pass or hold, so a problem stops before packing, not after delivery.

FAQ

Manufacturing ERP FAQ

All questions →
What is manufacturing ERP software?

Manufacturing ERP software plans production from your bills of materials: it works out what each order needs, reserves what is in stock, flags shortages before the start date and drafts purchase requests. It also tracks job work, quality checks and every stage of an order on one screen.

What is a bill of materials (BOM) explosion?

It breaks a product into every component and raw material — level by level — and multiplies by the order quantity, so you know exactly what an order needs.

Does it track material sent to job workers?

Yes. Challans record what goes out and comes back, process loss is recorded, and the data for ITC-04 is ready every quarter.

Is it right for a small factory?

Yes. Most MSMEs start with BOMs, production orders and stores, then add job work, quality and costing as they grow.

Can supervisors update it from the shop floor?

Yes. Simple tablet screens in Hindi or English let supervisors move orders between stages and record checks without a desktop.

What does costing per order show?

Material, job work, labour and overhead against each order, compared with the quoted cost, so loss-making products are visible early.
