Understanding the Platform

What is Manufacturing Management Software?

A purpose-built system that tracks resource conversion, production processes, and quality control — all in one unified platform

Manufacturing involves complex, interconnected processes where materials, labour, and equipment must be precisely coordinated. Without dedicated software, manufacturers struggle with disconnected spreadsheets, manual paperwork, and information silos that lead to delays, errors, and lost profitability.

Our Manufacturing Management Software is built entirely around your requirements and business processes — not generic checklists. It lives inside your Microsoft 365 tenant, integrated with the tools your team already uses. No separate systems, no complex integrations — just one connected platform that streamlines everything from procurement to delivery.

  • Track production orders & work orders
  • Manage raw materials & inventory
  • Schedule maintenance tasks
  • Monitor quality control checks
  • Plan capacity & workloads
  • Automate approval workflows
  • Generate production reports
  • Manage supplier relationships
Platform Capabilities

Key Features of Our Manufacturing Software

We build fully customised manufacturing solutions tailored to your operations — every feature is designed around your actual workflow, and additional modules can be added at any time.

Production Order Management

Create, track, and manage production orders from initiation to completion. Monitor progress in real-time, assign resources, and ensure every order meets delivery deadlines with full visibility across the shop floor.

Inventory & Materials Management

Track raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods with automated stock level monitoring, reorder point alerts, and supplier management to prevent stockouts and overstocking.

Maintenance Scheduling

Preventive and corrective maintenance management with automated scheduling, work order generation, equipment history tracking, and downtime logging to maximise asset uptime.

Quality Control & Inspections

Multi-stage quality checkpoints, inspection forms, non-conformance tracking, and corrective action workflows — ensuring every product meets specifications before moving to the next stage.

Production Planning & Scheduling

Visual production schedules with capacity planning, resource allocation, and dependency management. Drag-and-drop scheduling with real-time conflict detection and what-if analysis.

Bill of Materials (BOM)

Multi-level BOM management with version control, component tracking, and automated material requirement planning (MRP) calculations based on production orders.

Real-time Production Monitoring

Live dashboards showing OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), throughput, scrap rates, and line performance — enabling rapid response to production issues.

Labour & Equipment Tracking

Track operator assignments, equipment utilisation, and labour hours against production orders. Integration with timesheets ensures accurate cost allocation.

Supply Chain & Procurement

Vendor management, purchase order creation, goods receipt processing, and supply chain visibility — all integrated with inventory to streamline the procurement lifecycle.

Shop Floor Data Capture

Mobile and desktop interfaces for operators to record production quantities, report issues, log downtime, and complete quality checks directly from the production line.

ERP & Machinery Integration

Connect with existing ERP systems, PLCs, SCADA, and manufacturing execution systems (MES) through APIs and webhooks for seamless data flow across your technology stack.

Document & Version Control

Secure storage for production drawings, SOPs, work instructions, change orders, and compliance documents with version history, approval workflows, and role-based access.

Pre-Built Modules

Common Forms & Apps Included

These are the most commonly requested manufacturing modules. Every application is fully customisable to your specific processes — and we can build anything else you need.

Internal Surveys

Implementation Journey

How We Build Your Manufacturing System

Our structured five-step process ensures your manufacturing software is delivered on time, aligned to your exact requirements, and ready to drive efficiency from day one.

1
Discovery & Process Mapping
We spend time on your shop floor, map your production workflows, identify bottlenecks, and document every form, report, and approval process you need — creating a complete blueprint.
2
System Architecture Design
We design the SharePoint solution architecture, including site structure, list schemas, Power Automate workflows, Power BI dashboards, and security model — all before writing code.
3
Development & Configuration
Our SharePoint developers configure lists, libraries, forms, workflows, and integrations within your Microsoft 365 tenant. We build incrementally, showing you progress every two weeks.
4
Testing & User Training
We test every workflow, train administrators and end users, and run UAT scenarios with your production team — fixing any issues before go-live.
5
Go-Live & Support
We launch, provide hypercare support, monitor adoption, and hand over documentation. Your team is fully equipped to manage and extend the system independently.
Why It Matters

The Business Case for Manufacturing Software

Manufacturing organisations that centralise their operations on a unified platform see dramatic improvements in efficiency, quality, and profitability. When production, inventory, quality, and maintenance data all live in one system with automated workflows, decision-making becomes faster and more accurate.

Our SharePoint-based solutions give you complete visibility across the entire manufacturing value chain. No more manual data entry, no more spreadsheet chaos, no more information silos. Everything is connected — from procurement through production to delivery — with full audit trails and compliance-ready documentation.

Because your system is built on SharePoint and integrated with Power Automate, every process can be automated: approvals flow automatically, inventory updates in real-time, and management dashboards reflect current operations without manual reporting.

Built on Microsoft

Why Build Your Manufacturing Systems on Microsoft SharePoint?

SharePoint provides a robust, secure platform that goes far beyond document storage. It's a complete enterprise application framework that scales from small workshops to large manufacturing plants — all within your existing Microsoft 365 investment.

Enterprise-Grade Security
Microsoft 365 security infrastructure, Azure Active Directory authentication, and granular permission controls protect your intellectual property and production data. Full audit logging meets ISO and industry compliance standards.
No Additional Licensing
If you already have Microsoft 365, you already have SharePoint. No new software licences, no per-user fees for the platform itself — just the development cost to configure it for your needs.
Seamless System Integration
Connect with your existing ERP, accounting software, machinery systems, and business intelligence tools through APIs, Power Automate, and Power Apps — creating a unified operational ecosystem.
Access Anywhere
Shop floor supervisors, warehouse staff, and management all access the same system from desktop, tablet, or mobile — whether they're on the production line, in the warehouse, or off-site.
Automate Everything
Power Automate connects every process — when a production order is created, inventory reserves automatically; when QC fails, notifications trigger; when stock is low, reorder workflows begin.
Scale with Your Business
Start with production tracking and inventory, then expand to quality, maintenance, and beyond. SharePoint scales effortlessly from 10 to 10,000 users — no reimplementation required.
