Order, bill of materials and work order together, built for UK businesses
Teams in London, Manchester and Birmingham usually want this running before the next quarter, so the scope is built around how your people actually work. When a customer order comes in, it must be clear which material, work steps and dates are needed. The system breaks the order into work orders using the bill of materials, shows the status and follows it through to delivery.

- Bacs and GBP
- Roles and audit log
Order
An order is recorded with customer, product, quantity and requested date. The bill of materials produces the material requirement and a purchase request is suggested for missing material.
Bills of materials are entered by the company or imported.
Work order and delivery
Each work order goes to the shop floor with its steps, and completed steps are ticked off. The customer learns the order status and expected delivery date by e-mail.
Automatic reading of CAD drawings is out of scope.
