ERP for contract manufacturers

• Import customer orders from PDFAvailable

  Have a customer PDF order read by an AI reader that checks order number, dates, quantities and prices against the document; show differences with the sales order and apply the lines. A ribbon button reads in a received customer order directly and the system also recognises by itself which document is a customer order; it learns per customer from earlier imports.

• Products and product groupsAvailable

  Central item catalogue with units, packaging, sourcing type (purchased, manufactured, customer supplied) and custom attributes per product group.

• Cost estimatingAvailable

  Cost estimates based on the BOM; one action per component to reserve stock, create a purchase demand or a production order.

• Finite-capacity schedulingAvailable

  Automatic priority-driven scheduler with ASAP and JIT scheduling, dependencies, critical path and a drag-to-reschedule Gantt chart. Per department you set a priority per production order, the Gantt shows department colours and filters on workplace, department and user, and a planner work list shows the operations of a user's workplaces. An operation without planned time does not block scheduling.

• Lots and traceabilityAvailable

  Immutable lot ledger, tracing from supplier batch to customer and back, repacking with lot genealogy and production postings per lot.

• Pick orders and packing slipsAvailable

  Pick orders for sales, production, replenishment, transfers and cycle counts. Create them directly from a sales order (including partial deliveries) or a production order, pick on a mobile device with barcode scanning and book every movement into the lot ledger automatically. A pick list per type, plus a packing slip of the picked lines.

• Consumption, good/scrap and confirmationsAvailable

  Book material consumption and good and scrapped quantities with scrap reason from the floor, with confirmation steps where needed.

• Quality (NCR, audits, confirmations)Partial

  In-process quality control with measurement steps, tolerances, photos and checklists recorded by the operator, with a configurable frequency (for example every first piece or every N pieces). A rejected step can block the operation, block a lot or start a non-conformance report (NCR). Non-conformance reports and audit schedules as task board templates; no SPC charts and no incoming inspection at goods receipt.

• Documents: quotes, order confirmations, invoices, packing slipsAvailable

  Own document templates per tenant with numbering, e-mail delivery, payment status and e-invoicing.

• Automatic postings from operationsPartial

  Sales invoices, purchase invoices, goods receipts, stock movements and production orders (work in progress, labour and machine absorption, variance settlement) post automatically in the same transaction as the operational action.

• Integrations with financial systems and other ERP systemsAvailable

  Integrations with your financial systems, e-invoicing and other ERP systems. Also when only the shop floor is wanted: Digital WorkMate then runs alongside your existing ERP.
