Custom Manufacturing Software Development

Plenty of manufacturers can tell you what happened on the floor last Tuesday but not what's happening right now. Production status lives in a supervisor's head, downtime gets reconstructed from memory at the end of the shift, and quality records sit in binders next to the line. Meanwhile the ERP says one stock figure and the storeroom says another, so purchasing either over-orders to be safe or the line stops waiting on a part.

Your ERP can stay. Systems like SAP, Pronto, Epicor and MYOB are usually doing their core job fine; what's missing is the layer between them and the floor. We build production dashboards that pull live data from PLCs and equipment, so OEE, downtime and schedule position are visible in real time, not in next week's report. Digital inspection checklists replace the binders, with non-conformances logged at the point they're found and CAPA workflows that actually get followed because the system chases them.

Inventory is usually the second project. Barcode or RFID tracking at receipt, issue and despatch keeps the system count honest, and reorder automation works from real consumption instead of gut feel. Because everything writes back to your ERP rather than living in a parallel spreadsheet, finance and the floor finally agree on the numbers. For manufacturers supplying regulated or audited customers, the same data gives you traceability (which batch, which operator, which inspection) answerable in minutes instead of a day of digging.

Discovery happens on your floor, following how product, paperwork and data move from receipt to despatch. Then we quote a fixed price. The first dashboard or checklist is live within weeks and the rest follows in stages. We're based in Brisbane, work with manufacturers across Australia, and transfer all code and IP to you.
