- Purpose
- Run the manufacturing business in one system, from enquiry and sales order through engineering, production, purchasing and dispatch to finance and accounting.
- Problem we solve
- Sales, engineering, production, stores and accounts working in separate registers and spreadsheets, so nobody can trace an order from enquiry to dispatch, invoice and cash.
- Our USP
- Manufacturing-first and customized to your business processes: drawings, engineering changes, engineer-to-order BOMs and work orders sit alongside sales, purchasing and accounts, with order-to-cash traceability — shaped by varied manufacturing segments for SMEs and larger companies alike.
