Software for manufacturers
The business systems around production — planning, inventory, procurement, maintenance and traceability — built to your process, not a suite's.
Manufacturers tend to have two software problems, and they are usually the same problem twice. The packaged suite handles finance adequately but cannot express how their plant actually schedules, so planning happens in a spreadsheet. And the spreadsheet becomes the real system, with no access control, no history and one person who understands it.
We build the business layer around production: planning and scheduling, inventory and batch traceability, procurement and supplier management, maintenance and asset records, and the quality and compliance documentation an audit or recall depends on. Our work sits above the shop floor rather than inside the control systems.
The failure modes
we keep meeting.
- 01
Planning lives in a spreadsheet
The suite cannot model your changeover rules, capacity constraints or material substitutions, so scheduling happens outside it — untracked, unauditable and dependent on one person.
- 02
Inventory and the ledger disagree
Stock movements recorded in one system and financial entries in another drift apart, and the reconciliation becomes a monthly ritual nobody trusts the result of.
- 03
Paper traceability
Batch genealogy and quality records held in binders, which turns any recall or customer audit into a multi-week manual reconstruction with real commercial exposure.
- 04
Maintenance is reactive
Without a usable asset and work-order history, maintenance is scheduled on memory. Spares are over-ordered, warranties lapse unclaimed, and true cost per asset is unknown.
Products, not
capabilities.
Each of these is a system we can build from scratch and scale to your size. Everything here works without training a model — where AI is involved it is a hosted model reading a document or answering a question, not a black box.
- Custom Software01
Production planning and scheduling
Capacity, changeover and material constraints modelled the way your plant actually works, with a schedule planners can adjust rather than fight — replacing the spreadsheet that is currently the real system.
- Procurement & ERP02
Inventory and batch traceability
Multi-location stock, batch and serial genealogy, and goods movements reconciled continuously against the financial ledger so a recall or customer audit is a report rather than a fortnight.
- Procurement & ERP03
Procurement: requisition to three-way match
Requisitions with budget checks, approval matrices with delegation and limits, purchase orders, goods receipt and three-way matching with exceptions that name the blocker.
- Custom Software04
Quality and non-conformance system
Inspection records against specification, non-conformance workflows, corrective and preventive actions, and an audit trail that holds up in a customer or statutory audit.
- Asset Management05
Maintenance and asset management
Asset registers by line and machine, preventive schedules on calendar or usage, work orders, spares inventory, downtime reasons and cost of ownership per asset.
- Procurement & ERP06
Supplier portal and quote comparison
Supplier self-service onboarding with compliance document expiry tracking, RFQ issue and response, and quotations from different vendors normalised into one comparable table automatically.
The work, and where it sits.

Sector specifics.
Do you work on shop-floor control systems?
No. We build the business systems around production — planning, inventory, procurement, maintenance, quality and traceability. Control-layer and instrumentation work is a different discipline with a different risk profile, and you want a specialist for it.
Can this sit alongside the ERP we already have?
Usually that is the right shape. Keep the packaged system for finance and statutory reporting, and build the planning and traceability layer that it cannot express, with a properly engineered integration between them.

A short conversation is usually enough to tell whether we are the right firm for the problem. If we are not, we will say so and point you somewhere better.
