Orders on paper slips, the plan in the manager's head. Time for a system that runs your production.
We build simple production management software for companies that do not need a corporate MES. Orders, planning, reporting and work time tracking - built precisely for your shop floor.
Paper slips and Excel work while orders are few
These are the signals we hear most often from owners of manufacturing companies that have outgrown their tools.
- The production plan lives mostly in the shift manager's head
- Sales promises the customer a deadline without knowing what is already in the queue
- You calculate the margin on an order after the fact - if at all
- The production report is built once a month, by hand, in Excel
- Work time written on paper slips - payroll takes days
- The production plan lives in the system - office and shop floor see the same thing at the same moment
- Sales sees capacity and quotes a realistic deadline while still with the customer
- Each order collects material costs and labor hours - you know the margin right away
- Production reports generate themselves, in real time
- Work time recorded by scan or panel - payroll in minutes
What custom production management software can do
We match the scope to your processes - you pay for what you actually use.
Production orders
From customer order to shop floor: statuses, priorities, deadlines, change history.
Production planning
Order queue per machine and shift, capacity utilization, replan with a single move.
Production reporting
Plan execution, shift performance, defects, order costs - in real time, not once a month.
Work time tracking
Workers clock operations by scan or on a panel at the workstation. No more paper slips and rewriting.
Materials and consumption
Material usage per order, recipes and consumption standards, stock for upcoming orders.
Barcodes on the shop floor
Order and batch labels, operations reported by scan - the data enters itself.
Alerts and deadlines
The system watches at-risk deadlines, material shortages and downtime - before they become a problem.
ERP and warehouse integration
Subiekt, Comarch Optima, enova365, warehouse systems - orders and documents flow on their own.
From analysis to a working system
Transparent rules, clear contracts, payment after work acceptance. No surprises.
Production analysis
We visit your shop floor or connect remotely. We follow an order from purchase to dispatch and write down how your production really works.
From 30 min to a few daysDocumentation and quote
We describe the features, screens and integrations. You receive a document and a concrete quote - before any build decision is made.
5-50 pages of documentationBuild in stages
First the core: orders, plan and reporting. Then work time tracking, barcodes and integrations. You review and test each stage on real orders.
First stage in 4-8 weeksDeployment and growth
We train the office and the shop floor, go live and stay on for support. The system grows together with your production.
Payment after acceptanceHow much production management software costs
Real price ranges from our projects. No per-user subscription - the system is yours.
Production core
€4,025-7,000 net
Production orders, a simple plan, statuses, users and basic reports.
Production with measurement
€8,050-14,000 net
The core plus work time tracking, material consumption, barcodes and ERP integration.
System for the whole company
from €16,100 net
Planning per machine and shift, batch traceability, warehouse, data exchange with sales.
Every project starts with documentation and an exact quote - you know what you are paying for before work begins.
We connect the system to what you already use
We do not replace tools that work - we connect the system to what you already have.
Systems for manufacturing are our daily work
For an artisan bakery we built BakePilot - a system that manages orders, plans production and keeps track of raw materials. We put the same craftsmanship into every production management system.
Frequently asked questions
MES (Manufacturing Execution System) is the production control software known from large factories - with deployment prices running into hundreds of thousands. A manufacturing company with revenue around €3M usually needs 20% of those features: orders, a plan, reporting and work time tracking. That is exactly what a simple custom system delivers - without the corporate MES price tag.
The core - orders, plan and reports - is €4,025-7,000 net. The version with work time tracking, material consumption and ERP integration fits within €8,050-14,000. You get an exact quote before work starts, based on documentation - not along the way.
The first working stage usually takes 4-8 weeks from documentation sign-off. A full deployment with work time tracking and integrations takes 2-4 months. We work in stages, so you run your first orders in the system long before the project ends.
Off-the-shelf programs assume a typical process - and almost every production has its exceptions: unusual units, make-to-order work, changeovers, subcontractors. We build a custom system around your process, so the system adapts to the shop floor, not the shop floor to the system.
Yes, because we design the shop floor screen separately: large buttons, code scanning instead of typing, one action per screen. The worker clocks the start and end of an operation - the system calculates the rest. Panel training usually takes about fifteen minutes.
Yes, ERP integrations are standard in our projects: customer orders flow into production automatically, and documents and stock levels flow back to the ERP. Accounting and sales keep working in their software, the shop floor in its own - the data stays consistent.
