The problem
Spreadsheets, whiteboards, and paper job cards don't talk to each other.
Your quotes live in one place, your schedule in another. Nobody's sure what's actually finished until someone walks over and checks.
The fix
One system, from the first quote to the final invoice.
Every order, every job step, every invoice, and every customer in one place, with real role-based access so Finance, Sales, and the workshop floor each see exactly what their job needs.
How it stacks up
Whether you're currently running on spreadsheets and paper, or weighing up a traditional ERP.
| Spreadsheets & paper | Traditional ERP (Odoo, SAP) | ManufacturERP | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup | Works immediately, but nothing talks to anything else | Weeks or months, often with implementation consultants | Sign up and start today: no project, no consultants |
| Contract | N/A | Usually a multi-year agreement | None: cancel any time, end of your monthly billing period |
| ISO 9001 quality management | A separate spreadsheet, updated before the audit | Often a separate, paid module | Built in, included for every seat |
| Batch & lot traceability | A notebook, if you're lucky | Often an expensive add-on module | Built in, traced automatically every time |
| Usable by shop-floor operators | Paper job cards, illegible and easy to lose | Rarely designed for the floor | Tablet kiosk, PIN login, no training needed |
| Customer order tracking | Phone calls | Rarely included | Optional live, branded tracking link |
| AI insights & assistant | N/A | Rarely included, and often a costly add-on module | Included: bring your own API key, no markup |
| Price | "Free," but costs hours of admin time | Often thousands per month, plus per-user fees | From £149/month, covering 5 seats |
Quality & compliance
A full ISO 9001 quality management system. Already included.
Everywhere else, quality management is something you buy separately: its own subscription, its own login, its own invoice. Here it's simply part of the £149/month base plan, for every seat, from day one.
No separate QMS subscription to buy or renew
No per-seat surcharge for quality access
The same evidence trail an auditor asks for, built automatically as the team does the job
Non-conformances, risk, calibration, training records, supplier and customer scorecards, and management reviews all live in one place, kept up to date automatically because it's just how the team already works. Need ISO 14001 too? It reuses the same risk register and non-conformance log, adding a permits/emergency-plan register and monthly energy, water, and waste readings on top.
| Reference | Title | Severity | Status | Assigned | Raised |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NC-290726-001 | Customer return — Inspection Hatch Cover, cracked weld seam | Major | open | — | 29 Jul 2026 |
| NCR-2026-0142 | Bracket Assembly Type 4B — hole position out of tolerance | Major | investigating | Farah Iqbal | 28 Jun 2026 |
| NCR-2026-0140 | Customer return — Conveyor Guard Panel RH, cracked weld seam | Critical | investigating | Robert Callahan | 20 Jun 2026 |
| NCR-2026-0139 | Incoming steel sheet — mill certificate mismatch | Major | verifying | Farah Iqbal | 15 Jun 2026 |

Log an issue in seconds, and track it through to a real, closed-out fix.
Internal Audits
Plan, run, and record findings, with actions tracked all the way through to close-out.
Risk Register
See what could go wrong before it does, and exactly who owns fixing it.
Equipment Calibration
Know what's due and what's already overdue, before an auditor asks.
Training & Competence
Every certificate and expiry date in one place, always current.
Objectives & KPIs
Set a target, track progress automatically, know if it's on course.
Supplier Evaluations
A running score for every supplier, built from real delivery and quality data.
Customer Satisfaction
Every piece of feedback becomes a trackable score over time.
Management Review
Every input a review needs, already pulled together and ready to sign off.
ISO 14001 Environmental Management
Permits, licences, and emergency plans on a renewal cycle, plus monthly energy, water, and waste readings, all on the same evidence trail as everything else.
AI, done honestly
AI that finds real problems in your own data. Nothing invented, nothing hidden.
Bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google key. No markup, no separate AI subscription: you pay your provider directly for what you actually use.
Every insight traces back to a real number already in your system
The assistant only ever sees what your own login could already see
Bring your own API key, billed by your provider at their own rates
AI Insights runs every morning across supplier delivery, stale quotes, cold accounts, training expiry, and recurring quality issues, flagging what's actually worth a look and grouping it by role so nobody has to go hunting for it. Ask the assistant to find or open a customer, invoice, or order, right from the same screen.
AI Insights
Generated overnight from your own data — nothing here is invented, and dismissing one only hides it until the next refresh if the underlying issue is still real.
Buyer
Supplier delay: Meridian Steel Supplies
On-time delivery has dropped to 61% over the last 12 orders, worth a call before the next one.
Sales
Stale quote: Corvus Defence Systems
QUO-2026-0512 has had no reply in 18 days.
HR
Training expiring: Forklift Truck Licence
Dean Pryce’s licence expired 6 days ago.
AI Assistant
See it in action
One order, followed from quote to shop floor to invoice, and traced forever after
The same order confirmation your operator sees on the tablet is what your customer sees on their own tracking link.
On the shop floor
Operators tap in, and just get on with the job
No shared logins. Each operator PIN-signs in as themselves, works through the queue built for their station, and taps Complete Step when it's done, with photo proof on the steps that need it.

What your customer sees
Fewer "where's my order" phone calls
A live, branded tracking link shows real progress: the exact steps your operator is working through. Splitting the order across two shipments? They see that too, without calling to ask.
Getting paid
A branded invoice, straight off the order
No re-typing line items into a separate accounts package. Raise the invoice straight from the sales order, in your own branding, and watch it flow into Xero, QuickBooks, or Sage.

Everything the business needs, built as one product
One coherent system, instead of a dozen tools stitched together with exports and hope.
CRM & Sales Orders
Every customer, every quote, every order lives in one place. Turn a quote into a firm order in one click, watch it move through your own pipeline, and send it out branded as you, from your own domain.
AI Insights & assistant
Every morning, AI flags what's actually worth your attention: a slipping supplier, a quote gone quiet, a certificate about to expire. Ask the built-in assistant to find or open a record, using the exact same access as your own login.
Quality management, built in
Stop dreading the audit. Non-conformances, risk, calibration, training, and management review all just accumulate as the team does its job. Everywhere else, this is a separate system and a separate bill. Here, it's already on.
Shop-floor tablet kiosk
One tablet. No logins to remember, no shared accounts, no excuses. An operator taps their name, enters their PIN, and gets on with the job. You get a real record of who did what, automatically.
Manufacturing floor control
A schedule that knows who's actually on shift. Job cards and multi-step routes keep work moving, adjusting themselves the moment a shift changes or someone books time off.
Inventory & Bill of Materials
Your true cost, always current. Stock levels and full BOM costing recalculate automatically the instant a material price or labour rate moves.
Full traceability, instantly
Trace any batch back to the exact raw material it came from, or forward to every customer it reached, in seconds rather than a week of digging through paperwork.
Customer order tracking
The "where's my order" call, gone. Hand customers a live, branded tracking link showing real progress, let them ship in more than one wave without a single confused email, and know your own on-time rate without asking anyone to check.
Accounts: money in, money out
Invoice straight off an order, or bill in a supplier invoice: one system, both directions. Split payments into milestones, bill in 16 currencies, and let it all flow into Xero, QuickBooks, or Sage untouched by hand.
Planning that plans itself
Know what to order before you're short. Forecast demand, see exactly what's needed and when, and turn shortages into a ready-to-approve purchase order queue before they become a 6am panic.
A dashboard built around you
See what matters to your role. Hide what isn't your job, reorder the rest, and compare this period against last week, last month, or last year, all in two clicks.
Access that fits how you run the shop
Everyone sees exactly what their job needs. Nothing more.
Sales sees customers and orders. Workshop sees the floor. Finance sees the books. Every person gets a real login, and access is enforced by the system itself.
Management
Sees and does everything.
Finance
Accounts, invoicing, and Staff Management.
HR
Onboarding, roles, and absence approval.
Sales
CRM, Sales Orders, and Shipping.
Workshop
The manufacturing floor, Inventory, and Shipping.
Buyer
Inventory and Purchase Orders only.
Quality
Non-conformances, audits, risk, and the whole quality management system.
Need something more specific? Build a custom role with exactly the access it needs.
