12 - Manufacturing / BOM

Work orders and multi-level BOM without spreadsheets, with lot traceability from raw material to finished part.

Multi-level BOM for every item. Opening a work order deducts material from stock automatically. Every operator, every lot, every serial number — recorded. Planners see actual work centre capacity, not guesswork.

Why it hurts

Without a system you do not know what you consumed, who worked on it, or whether capacity is actually enough.

Excel WO

"Work orders are in Excel, we deduct material by hand." That is the sentence we hear at most manufacturing companies in the first conversation. Stock is wrong because deductions are delayed or forgotten. A customer complaint arrives — there is no answer.

lot ?

"We do not know which lot of material was used for which serial number." In food manufacturing, pharma, and medical devices, traceability from lot to serial number is a legal requirement; in automotive supply chains it is a contractual one. Without a system this means sifting through paper records under time pressure.

capacity ?

"The planner does not know the actual capacity." Work centres are scheduled by estimate, not by measured standard times. Delays pile up, priorities change manually, because nobody has visibility over the actual loading.

What you get

From BOM to finished part — with every consumption, every operator and every lot recorded.

Comparison

Before: Excel work order and manual deduction. After: BOM and an automatic flow from order to stock.

Before
Excel work order quantities entered by hand Manual deduction forgotten / delayed Lot traceability ? no record ? stock wrong complaint = panic
After
BOM multi-level ✓ Work order status: in progress ✓ Stock deducted automatically ✓ Lot / serial recorded ✓ Operator + control point ✓ QC check per step ✓ WMS / Accounting ✓
When is the right time

Not every company is ready for a manufacturing system — and that is fine.

Before we agree anything, we will tell you honestly whether you actually need this system. Three scenarios:

Small company
fewer than 5,000 SKUs, fewer than 20 WOs/month

Manual management is still feasible. Excel work orders work when the team is small and the article range is limited. A system would add cost without proportional benefit. Our recommendation: sort out stock first with WMS, then add the manufacturing module when volume demands it.

Talk to us anyway
Mid-size company
5,000+ SKUs or batch traceability required

This is the right time. When you have more than 20 work orders per month, must maintain batch traceability (food, pharma, automotive supply chain), or when planning delays are already affecting deliveries to customers.

Let us check together
Large company
complex BOM, multiple plants, EDI

You need a full ERP (SAP, Infor, Microsoft Dynamics) for enterprise-wide management. Our module does not replace a full ERP for MRP II planning or EDI exchange with OEM customers. Already have an ERP? The Enterprise plan connects our module to it via API. Contact us — we will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit.

Pricing

One-time setup. Monthly subscription by number of work centres and scope.

A more complex implementation than WMS — pricing reflects that. No hidden costs after signing. All prices excl. VAT.

SaaS (lower plans): you pay a monthly subscription — we handle maintenance, backups, and uptime. Source code is not part of the delivery and is not obtainable later — this applies to the Enterprise plan at 12,000 € as well.

Custom development: from 9,000 € (excl. VAT); source code is yours, hosted on your own infrastructure. Suitable for non-standard production workflows or own ERP. Details on request →

Starter
Setup 3,990 €
+ from 249 €/month

Up to 5 work centres, up to 200 active BOMs. Work orders, material deduction, lot traceability, work order status, basic reports. Suitable for simple series or mixed-mode production.

Business
Setup 6,990 €
+ from 349 €/month

Up to 20 work centres, unlimited BOMs. Multi-level BOM, capacity planning, quality checkpoints per step, QR scanning at workstations, integration with WMS and accounting.

Enterprise
Setup from 12,000 €
On request

Unlimited work centres and BOMs. Workflow customisation, API integration with existing ERP, custom dashboards and reports, priority support.
