Software built for manufacturing

Every manufacturer has processes that generic software cannot handle

Manufacturing businesses deal with complexity that off-the-shelf software rarely accommodates well. Bill of materials, works orders, multi-stage production routing, quality inspection at hold points, traceability requirements, and the need to link all of this to purchasing, finance and despatch.

Generic ERP and production software forces you to adapt your processes to fit its data model. A custom system is designed around how your facility actually works.

Common challenges in Manufacturing

  • Production visibility. Shop floor activity is not reflected in your management system in real time, making it hard to identify bottlenecks before they cause delays.
  • Traceability. Component and batch traceability is difficult to maintain consistently, creating risk in regulated or quality-sensitive sectors.
  • Disconnected systems. Your production system does not talk to purchasing, finance or your customer-facing tools, so data is manually re-entered across multiple platforms.
  • Paper-based quality processes. Inspection records, non-conformance reports and hold paperwork are still handled on paper, making audit preparation time-consuming and error-prone.

Manage raw material stock, trigger purchase orders at minimum levels and allocate materials to specific works orders automatically.

Production scheduling

Build and manage your production schedule with capacity awareness. Reassign and reprioritise jobs in real time as priorities change.

Quality and compliance

Digital quality inspection, non-conformance reporting and corrective action management. Audit-ready records available instantly.

Batch and serial traceability

Full forward and backward traceability for components, batches and serial numbers across your supply chain and production process.

Reporting and dashboards

Real-time production performance, OEE, scrap rates and throughput visible to your management team without manual data assembly.

Amosite Asbestos compliance

Context

Amosite is a specialist in asbestos management, providing inspection, management planning and legal documentation services to commercial and residential clients across the UK.

Challenge

Amosite needed a reliable way to generate, store and provide access to legally compliant asbestos management documents, with different access levels for staff, field inspectors and clients.

Result

A web portal and offline tablet app eliminated paper-based inspections, reduced document turnaround times significantly and enabled field inspectors to capture data and sync it automatically on return to connectivity.

AI for Manufacturing

AI built for the manufacturing floor, not the boardroom

Generic AI tools don't understand your production environment. We build AI-powered capabilities directly into your manufacturing software — addressing the specific operational problems that cost manufacturers time, material and margin every day.

Explore AI implementation Discuss your AI requirements

Production schedule optimisation

AI analyses order volumes, machine capacity and material availability to generate optimal run schedules — reducing changeover time and idle capacity.

Predictive maintenance alerts

Surface early warning signals from equipment data before a breakdown costs you a production run. AI flags anomalies and recommends action before failure occurs.

Automated quality inspection logging

AI captures, classifies and routes quality control failures automatically, reducing manual data entry and speeding up corrective action across production lines.

Demand forecasting for stock and procurement

AI models historical sales patterns, lead times and seasonality to help you order the right stock at the right time — cutting both waste and shortfalls.

OEE and throughput analytics

Real-time overall equipment effectiveness scores with AI-generated commentary on the biggest causes of availability, performance and quality loss on your shop floor.

Document extraction for compliance and traceability

AI reads delivery notes, certificates of conformance and supplier documents to extract batch data and update traceability records automatically — without manual re-keying.

Common questions

Questions about software for Manufacturing

Yes. We have integrated custom manufacturing software with Sage, Xero and a range of sector-specific platforms. Where an API or data export exists, integration is achievable.
Absolutely. We design role-based interfaces appropriate to each user group. Factory floor terminals can be purpose-built for shop floor data capture, separate from the management-level interface.
Yes. We have built systems for businesses operating under quality standards including ISO 9001 and sector-specific compliance requirements. Audit trail, document control and sign-off workflows are standard features we have delivered.
