  • Unclear production costs

How does the application help in daily operations?

Price list – all prices in one place

In the application, you have a central price list for:

  • materials
  • finished products

Prices are used in:

  • calculations
  • planning
  • reports

👉 One change – applies everywhere.

Product Structure (BOM)

For each product, you clearly define:

  • which materials go into the product
  • in what quantities

The system uses this data for:

  • checking material availability
  • production planning
  • inventory reservation

Material Inventory

At any moment, you can see:

  • how much material you have
  • what is reserved
  • what is at minimum or maximum levels

This allows you to:
– prevent stoppages
– avoid unnecessary purchases
– have a realistic inventory overview

Work Orders

Work orders are the heart of the system.

In the application, you:

  • open new orders
  • assign product, quantity, and deadline
  • track status (planned, in progress, completed)

Everything is clear and transparent, without improvisation.

Production Planner

The planner helps you to:

  • check if you have enough materials
  • reserve materials for specific orders
  • schedule production by day and line

When an order is completed:

  • materials are automatically debited
  • finished products are credited to inventory

👉 Less manual work, fewer errors.

Finished Product Inventory

At any moment, you know:

  • how many finished products you have
  • their value
  • whether you are below or above planned quantities

Ideal for:

  • delivery preparation
  • production control
  • sales planning

Reports and Control

The application provides clear reports on:

  • material consumption
  • work order realization
  • inventory and its value
  • key performance indicators

Reports can be exported to Excel for further analysis.

Data Security

All data is:

  • saved locally
  • under your control

The application features:

  • manual one-click backup
  • automatic backup
  • easy data recovery

What does a typical workflow look like?

1. Check inventory status

2. Open new work orders

3. Plan production

4. Monitor order execution
