Manufacturing & Inventory Operations Platform

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The operating system for the factory floor. One platform for orders, inventory, BOMs, production planning, procurement and fulfilment, so you always know what you have, what you owe, what you're short, and what it's worth.

The shift

Kill the Spreadsheet Sprawl

Most manufacturers run production across a dozen disconnected spreadsheets and tools, and spend their days reconciling them. Our inventory management system ties every part, order, and stock movement to a single live record.

Before

  • A dozen spreadsheets per production line
  • Stock counts that never quite agree
  • Shortages discovered on the shop floor
  • No clear view of what surplus is worth

After

  • One signed, real-time stock ledger
  • On-hand, committed and available per location
  • Shortage forecast across your whole horizon
  • Margin visible on every surplus sale
From order to dispatch

Every step traceable.

From a customer order to a kitted work order to a posted goods receipt, every step is role-aware and real-time.

  1. ConfirmThe work order is created, the BOM explodes and stock is locked automatically.
  2. KitOperators scan components into the kit at the bench.
  3. BuildOperations, scrap and price variance are logged as they happen.
  4. QCChecks are signed off before anything leaves the floor.
  5. DispatchShipments are tracked and stock is posted to the ledger.

One Platform, Ten Modules

Grouped into three pillars: Plan what's coming, Make it on the floor, and Move stock in and out, all sharing one signed ledger.

Plan

Orders & Work Orders

Run every order through a clean lifecycle: Draft → Confirmed → WIP → QC → Completed → Dispatched. Confirming auto-creates the work order, explodes the BOM, and locks stock. Capable-to-promise dates and planning holds flag lead-time risk before it bites.

Production Planner

Define product lines, attach or import a BOM, and schedule daily, weekly or monthly output. The plan explodes into component-level shortage across the horizon you choose, netted against on-hand stock, so procurement gets ahead of the gaps.

Projects (Long-Term Supply)

Track long-term customer commitments, allocate finished goods to each project, and see shortage per project silo and across the whole company. Manage shipments and logistics partners with live tracking links.

Make

Parts & Bill of Materials

A master catalogue with company (CPN) and manufacturer (MPN) part numbers, cost, lead time and safety stock. Multi-level BOMs explode through sub-assemblies; import from CSV/XLSX, manage approved substitutes, and print barcodes.

Shop Floor

A touch-optimised operator view: assigned work orders, barcode kitting, operations, scrap logging and QC checks, with manufacturing price variance rolled up automatically.

Analytics & Control

A command center for the morning stand-up, insights dashboards, a 21-report library with CSV export, and a full audit log. Plus a built-in wiki, so every screen explains itself.

Move

Inventory, Live

On-hand, committed and available stock per location, with shortage forecasting, reorder alerts, scrap analysis, a warehouse map and barcode scanning. Stock value at a glance.

Master Inventory

Freeze a dated baseline of all stock, then watch it move: units in, units out, and net change since the freeze, reconstructed from the transaction ledger and filterable on the fly. Built for planning around a run or a stock-take.

Procurement & Goods Receipts

Raise purchase requests, then receive whole inbound shipments in one multi-line goods receipt that books stock and reconciles the POs it covers. Partial and consolidated receipts supported. An order only reads "received" when there's real stock behind it.

Stock Sales

Sell surplus parts to a partner straight from inventory and capture the margin spread (cost vs sale price, per line) with a guard that stops you overselling.

Realistic sample data, one consistent dark dashboard.

Who it's for

Built For Real Production

Designed around real store rooms and production lines, not a demo.

Small-to-Mid Manufacturers

Running real production lines that outgrew spreadsheets.

Contract Manufacturers

Juggling many customers, BOMs and delivery commitments.

Hardware & Electronics

BMS, EV, electronics and complex assemblies.

Energy & EV Builders

Battery packs and power systems with deep multi-level BOMs.

Why Our Inventory System

01

One Source of Truth

Orders, inventory, BOMs, procurement and sales share one signed ledger. No reconciling spreadsheets, ever.

02

Shortage Intelligence Everywhere

See what you're short by project, by production plan, and company-wide, always netted against live stock.

03

Full Traceability

Every stock movement is a signed, auditable transaction. Freeze a baseline and compare it live.

04

Margin-Aware

Sell surplus stock to partners and see the cost-to-sale spread instantly, per line.

05

Role-Based & Multi-Tenant

Eight roles, from operator to admin, each sees exactly what they need, nothing they don't.
