Do we need a full ERP?
Not at first. Many manufacturers start with inventory and purchasing, or production tracking, and add modules once the first one is in daily use.
Manufacturing
Systems for manufacturers who run on spreadsheets.
Production orders, raw material stock, purchasing, quality checks, and dispatch, connected in one system built around your shop floor.
What is manufacturing ERP software?
Manufacturing ERP software connects the steps between a customer order and a delivered product: checking raw material, planning production, recording work on the shop floor, inspecting quality, dispatching, and invoicing. Each step reads from and writes to the same records, so stock, cost, and order status stay accurate without anyone reconciling spreadsheets.
Small and mid-sized manufacturers often find packaged manufacturing ERPs too heavy for how they actually work, so production ends up tracked in notebooks and sheets anyway. SETITUP builds a system around your real routing, units, and approval habits, starting with the area that causes the most delays.
Familiar problems on the shop floor.
- Raw material runs out before anyone notices
- Production status lives in a supervisor's notebook
- Purchase orders approved over WhatsApp
- Finished goods stock does not match the sheet
- Dispatch and invoicing are done separately
- No clear cost or margin per order
- Quality issues are found after shipping
- Owners walk the floor to know what is happening
What we build for manufacturers.
-
Production planning
Production orders, schedules, and work-in-progress by stage.
-
Inventory and BOM
Raw material, work-in-progress, and finished goods, with bills of materials and reorder alerts.
-
Purchasing
Purchase requests, approvals, supplier history, and goods received.
-
Quality checks
Inspection checklists and sign-offs recorded at each stage.
-
Dispatch and invoicing
Delivery notes and invoices created from the same order record.
-
Owner dashboard
Output, pending orders, stock value, and receivables on one screen.
One order, end to end.
How an order moves through a connected manufacturing system.
-
Order
Sales order confirmed
The order is entered once, with product, quantity, and delivery date.
-
Material check
Stock reserved or purchase raised
The system checks raw material against the bill of materials and raises a purchase request for any shortfall.
-
Production
Work order on the floor
Supervisors update each stage from a phone or tablet, so progress is visible without walking the floor.
-
Quality
Inspection recorded
Checks are signed off at each stage, and rejects are logged against the batch.
-
Dispatch
Delivered and invoiced
The delivery note and invoice are created from the same order, and finished goods stock updates automatically.
Manufacturing questions
Can shop floor staff use it on a phone or tablet?
Yes. We design simple mobile screens for updating production stages, stock movements, and quality checks.
Will it work with our accounting software?
Yes. We connect to your existing accounting tool so finance keeps its current process.
How do you handle bills of materials (BOM)?
Each product can have a bill of materials with quantities and units, so material requirements and costs are calculated from real orders instead of estimates.
Can we track batches or serial numbers?
Yes. Batches and serial numbers can be recorded at production and dispatch, which helps trace quality issues back to the source.
