Factory Manager
Status: LiveRun your whole factory from one simple screen
Stock, quality checks, production, sales, accounts and GST in one place. Every batch can be traced from the supplier's truck to your customer's invoice.
- For
- Manufacturing plants: chemicals, pharmaceuticals, automobile components and engineering
- Deployment
- Online web application, used in the browser on computers and on phones on the shop floor.
- Commercial model
- Pricing on request.
The challenge
Plants run on disconnected registers and spreadsheets
- Stores, quality, production and accounts each keep their own records, and the same data is typed again and again.
- Material is used before quality has checked and released it.
- Tracing a batch back to its supplier, or forward to a customer, takes hours.
- GST workings, return drafts and TDS are prepared by hand every month.
The solution
How Factory Manager works
Each screen does one job. What the stores team enters is what quality, production and accounts see, with nothing typed twice. Journals post themselves from stock, purchases and sales, so the trial balance, profit and loss and balance sheet are always up to date.
Factory Manager is set up for how your industry works: pick your industry when you sign up and the right screens and rules come switched on. It works in English, Hindi and Gujarati, on computers and on phones on the shop floor.
