Connect the shop floor to the rest of the business
We build software for manufacturers that need better visibility of production, quality and orders. Much of it fills the gaps between an ERP and what actually happens on the factory floor.
What gets in the way
- Production data is recorded on paper or whiteboards and reaches managers late, if at all.
- The ERP does not reflect how work is really scheduled, so planners rely on spreadsheets.
- Quality checks and traceability records are hard to find when a customer or auditor asks.
- Trade customers still order by email and phone, creating re-keying and errors.
Built with the rules in mind
Manufacturing systems often support standards such as ISO 9001 quality management, sector traceability requirements and data protection law including UK GDPR. We build with these in mind and work with your quality and compliance teams, who remain responsible for certification.
Technologies we often use
How we help in your market
The rules, platforms and buyer expectations differ by region. We design for the one you sell into.
Europe & UK
Manufacturers selling into Europe and the UK need CE or UKCA conformity records, REACH substance data and traceability that stands up to ISO 9001 audits, and NIS2 is raising the bar for OT security. We build MES, quality and traceability tools that pull from your ERP and shop-floor systems into one record.
United States
US plants may need FDA 21 CFR Part 11 electronic records, ITAR controls on defence data and CMMC for Department of Defense supply chains. We build systems with signed audit trails, role-based access and data segregation, and work with your quality and compliance leads on validation.
Canada
Canadian manufacturers work to CSA standards, prove origin under CUSMA to trade with the US and Mexico, and may fall under the Controlled Goods Program. We build production tracking and supplier portals that capture origin and certification data as work happens, rather than at audit time.
What we build for manufacturing
Production planning
Scheduling tools that reflect real capacity, materials and priorities.
Shop-floor data capture
Tablet and scanner apps for recording output, downtime and materials.
Quality and traceability
Inspection records, non-conformance tracking and batch traceability.
ERP integration
Connections that keep orders, stock and production in step with your ERP.
B2B ordering portals
Online ordering with customer-specific pricing and order history.
Predictive maintenance
Models that use machine data to flag equipment problems early.
How we help
Custom Software Development
Bespoke business systems built around how your organisation actually works, not how an off-the-shelf package assumes it does.
AI & Machine Learning
Practical AI: LLM features, agents, document extraction and predictive models, built with your data privacy in mind.
eCommerce Development
Online stores and B2B ordering platforms on Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento or fully custom builds, connected to your operations.
API & Systems Integration
APIs and integrations that connect your CRM, ERP, payments and internal systems so data moves without manual re-keying.
Data Engineering & Analytics
Data pipelines, warehouses and dashboards that turn scattered business data into reliable numbers people trust.
Common questions
Can you work with our existing ERP?
Yes. We integrate with ERPs through their APIs or database interfaces, and extend them where they fall short rather than replacing them.
Can the system work on the factory floor?
Yes. We design for tablets, scanners and gloved hands, with large controls and offline tolerance where connectivity is weak.
Can you capture data from machines?
Where machines expose data through standard protocols or controllers, we can collect it for dashboards and maintenance models.
Do we need to replace our ERP to improve production planning?
Usually not. We often build a planning tool that reads orders and stock from your ERP, reflects real capacity and priorities, and writes confirmed schedules back, which is faster and less risky than replacing the ERP.
Can you provide batch and lot traceability?
Yes. We record materials, batches, operators and inspection results at each stage so you can trace any finished product back to its inputs, or forward to every customer who received it.
Can shop-floor data be shown live to managers?
Yes. Output, downtime and scrap captured on tablets, scanners or machines can feed live dashboards and shift reports, so problems are visible during the shift rather than the next day.
Can the system support our ISO 9001 quality processes?
Yes. We can digitise inspections, non-conformances, corrective actions and document control to support your quality system. Certification itself remains with your quality team and certification body.
Can trade customers order and reorder online?
Yes. A B2B portal can show customer-specific prices, order history and stock availability, with orders going straight into your ERP instead of being re-keyed from emails.
Can you work with older machines on the factory floor?
Often, yes. Where machines have no data interface, simple sensors or operator input on a tablet can capture the key information without replacing the equipment.
How do you introduce new systems without stopping production?
We pilot on one line or cell, train operators on site-ready screens and run the new system alongside existing records until everyone is confident before rolling out further.
