Custom Manufacturing ERP Development
Production planning, shop floor control, and quality management built around your actual plant layout — not a generic ERP template. Stop managing your factory in spreadsheets or working around an ERP that doesn't understand your routing logic.

The Problem
Why Off-the-Shelf ERPs Fail on the Manufacturing Floor
Generic routing logic that doesn't match your work centre setup
BOM structures that can't handle your product configurations
MRP engines that ignore real-world capacity constraints
No integration with your PLCs, SCADA, or IoT sensors
Quality control modules designed for warehouses, not process manufacturing
Per-user licensing that penalises you for putting tablets on the shop floor
Solution
Manufacturing ERP Modules We Build
Each module is designed around real manufacturing workflows — not adapted from a distribution or retail ERP template.
MRP / MPS Production Scheduling
Material Requirements Planning and Master Production Scheduling engines that calculate what to make, when, and in what quantity — based on live sales orders, BOM structures, and current inventory levels.
Shop Floor Control & Work Orders
Digital work orders with real-time status tracking across work centres. Operators update job progress from tablets on the floor; supervisors see capacity loading in real time.
Bill of Materials Management
Multi-level BOM with version control, engineering change orders (ECO), and automatic cost roll-up. Changes propagate instantly to production schedules and inventory requirements.
Quality Control & Inspection
Inline quality gates at each production stage, configurable inspection checklists, non-conformance reports, corrective action tracking, and full lot traceability from raw material to finished good.
Machine Utilisation & OEE
Real-time OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) dashboards pulling data from PLC integrations or manual entry. Identify availability, performance, and quality losses before they compound.
Preventive Maintenance Scheduling
Asset-based maintenance plans with usage-based triggers, spare parts inventory linkage, and downtime logging. Reduce unplanned stoppages with data-driven maintenance intervals.
Inventory & Raw Material Control
Bi-directional inventory movement across receiving, production consumption, and finished goods — with real-time valuation using FIFO, FEFO, or weighted average costing.
Production Reporting & Analytics
Shift reports, production efficiency summaries, scrap analysis, and cost-per-unit dashboards. All data live — no waiting for month-end Excel consolidation.
Delivery Process
From Plant Floor to Production System in 5 Phases
Production Workflow Mapping
We walk your production floor and document every process step, decision point, and exception — routing, work centres, shifts, and quality gates.
Data Model & BOM Architecture
Design the item master, BOM structure, routing definitions, and work centre hierarchy before writing a single line of production code.
Core Module Development
MRP engine, work order system, and shop floor interface built in parallel sprints with your production team testing against real orders.
Integration & Data Migration
Connect to existing accounting systems, quality tools, and IoT devices. Historical production data migrated and reconciled.
Go-Live & Hypercare
Parallel-run period with your legacy system, then a phased cutover. Our team is on-call for 30 days post-launch.
Tech Stack

FAQ
Manufacturing ERP Questions
Can you integrate with our existing PLC or SCADA systems?
Yes. We integrate with PLCs via OPC-UA, Modbus, or direct database polling depending on your equipment. For SCADA systems, we consume published data feeds and map them into the ERP's machine utilisation and downtime modules.
How do you handle multi-plant manufacturing operations?
Our architecture supports multi-site deployments with a shared item master and BOM, site-specific routing and work centres, consolidated reporting across plants, and inter-plant transfer orders.
Does the MRP engine work with make-to-order and make-to-stock simultaneously?
Yes. The MRP engine supports mixed-mode manufacturing — items can be flagged as MTS (make-to-stock), MTO (make-to-order), ATO (assemble-to-order), or ETO (engineer-to-order) with appropriate demand sourcing logic for each.
Can shop floor operators use it on tablets or touchscreens?
We build a dedicated shop floor interface optimised for touch, large text, and gloved operation. Works offline with sync when connectivity is restored — critical for environments with unreliable Wi-Fi coverage.
How do you handle engineering change orders (ECOs) and BOM versioning?
All BOM changes go through an ECO workflow with approval stages. Effective date, effective quantity, and supersession rules control when the change becomes active in production. Full history is preserved for audit purposes.
