Manufacturing
From customer order to finished goods, without the spreadsheet in between
Many manufacturers run on an accounting package, a large spreadsheet and a lot of experience. Orders arrive by email, the floor works from printouts and customers ring for updates. We build ordering, production and quality tools that fit your process, so everyone works from the same up-to-date picture.
01
What gets in the way
Trade orders by email and phone
Customers send orders in different formats, and someone rekeys each one into the system.
The floor working from printouts
Job sheets are printed at the start of a run, and changes do not reach the people making the product.
Status updates on request
Customers call to ask when an order will ship, and the answer means walking out to the floor.
Quality checks on paper
Inspection results are written on forms that are filed and rarely looked at again.
A first version
What a first version usually includes
A typical starting point, not a fixed package. Your brief decides what goes in first and what can wait.
A trade ordering portal
Customers order from their own price list and catalogue, reorder past items and see order status.
Production tracking
Work orders move through stages on screens at each station, so the office sees progress as it happens.
Digital quality checklists
Inspections are recorded against each job with photos, and failed checks raise a hold straight away.
Stock and materials alerts
Materials are drawn down as jobs are completed, with a warning before something runs short.
02
The systems you already use
For example, many manufacturers use MYOB Acumatica, Unleashed or Cin7 for inventory and accounts. We check what your system can share and build the pieces it does not cover.
03
Services this draws on
- Web and SaaS
Custom web applications, customer portals and software-as-a-service products from a senior Melbourne team, built and hosted by one team.
- AI integrations
Add practical AI features to the software you already run, such as search, summaries and assistants, with human oversight and clear limits.
04
Questions manufacturers often ask
Do we need to replace our ERP?
Rarely. Most of the value comes from tools around it: ordering, the floor and quality. We will say if a replacement makes sense.
Can the floor use it with gloves or on shared screens?
Yes. Station screens use large controls and simple steps, and sign-in can be by badge or code.
Can our trade customers see their own prices?
Yes. Each customer sees their own catalogue and pricing, set by you.
