ERP for manufacturers
Plan, produce and cost every batch, from raw material to dispatch.
Problems we fix for manufacturing
Each one is a cost you carry today. Here is how the system removes it.
Production is planned in spreadsheets that nobody trusts by Wednesday
Raw material runs out mid-run, or sits idle for months
Nobody can say what a unit really costs to make
A normal day, in the system
Each step updates the next one automatically. Nobody retypes anything.

Asked in every first meeting
Can ERPNext handle multi-level bills of materials?
Yes. A finished product can contain sub-assemblies, each with its own bill of materials, operations and cost.
Do operators need a computer each?
No. Job cards run on a shared tablet or a phone on the floor, so operators record work where it happens.
