Custom software for manufacturers and exporters

The short answer

Manufacturing software fails when it is designed from an org chart instead of the floor. The version that works is built around how orders, batches and shipments genuinely move, including the exceptions everyone handles manually and nobody wrote down.

  • Hours saved
  • Fewer mistakes
  • Grows with you

The problem

Production, stock and export paperwork live in three different spreadsheets.

Each spreadsheet is correct on its own and none of them agree. Somebody reconciles them on a Friday, and every quote depends on that reconciliation being recent. It works until an order is promised against stock that was already committed.

What you get

Built for how manufacturers and exporters actually work.

The same care as any project, aimed at the things that matter in your sector rather than in general.

  • A map of how an order actually moves today, exceptions included
  • Stock that reflects committed as well as physical quantities
  • Order and batch tracking that the floor will genuinely update
  • Export documentation generated rather than retyped
  • Roles, so the floor sees what it needs and not the pricing
  • Your existing spreadsheet data brought across and checked

Is this you?

We'd rather tell you now than in month two.

This is for you if

  • Production or stock runs on spreadsheets that no longer agree
  • The same information gets typed into several systems
  • One person is the single point of failure for how it all works

It's probably not if

  • You need machine-level or safety-critical control systems
  • An existing system does the job and the real problem is training

Common questions

The things people ask before they commit.

Will the floor actually use it?

Only if they helped design it. We spend the first stage with the people doing the job, not just the person paying, because software that ignores the daily reality gets quietly worked around and then abandoned.

Can it talk to our accounting system?

Usually. Most accounting packages allow it, and where they do not there is normally a clean import route. We check this in the first stage rather than discovering it late.

What happens to the spreadsheets?

They come across, and we usually keep them running alongside for a period. Nobody should be asked to trust a new system with the business on day one.
