Manufacturing
An ERP that works the way your workshop does: orders through a client portal, real-time updates from the shop floor, and invoicing and accounting that run by themselves.
Manufacturing
The bottlenecks we run into most often in this industry.
Orders arrive by email and phone and get retyped. Every status question from a client costs someone in the office time.
Order management, invoicing and accounting each sit in a different package or in Excel, and they don't talk to each other.
Your way of working is exactly what sets you apart, like a foundry's metal accounts. An off-the-shelf ERP forces you into its own model.
Only whoever walks the workshop knows how far an order is. The office and the client are left in the dark.

Components we already built in this industry and run today.
Clients place orders themselves, follow the live status, view their invoices and pay online.
Staff work with iPad apps that update orders in real time, without paper work orders.
Invoices go out by themselves and accounting receives the data without double entry.
Clients proactively receive an update through WhatsApp and email when their order moves a step forward.
Specific processes, such as a metal account per client, sit at the core of the system instead of in an attachment.
We work API-first and connect with your accounting package, your payment provider and other systems.
