Manufacturing software for small shops

Manufacturing is available soon. It is not part of the initial release. Inventory, Sales Orders, Appointment Scheduling and Surveys are available today, and Manufacturing follows shortly after launch. Everything on this page is what the module will do when it ships. Tell us you need it and we will let you know the day it goes live.

Work orders, bills of materials, routing and quality checks, sized for a shop that builds real things without an ERP consultant on retainer. Material tracking consumes the specific component units, so cost and traceability come free.

What you get

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

Work orders

Material tracking that consumes specific component units from stock, so you know which lot went into which build.

๐Ÿ“

Bills of materials

BOMs and composite products define what goes into a build. Kits from Inventory carry over.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ

Work centers and routing

Work centers with cost per hour and operations routing, so labor is part of the cost picture, not a guess.

โœ…

Quality checks

Checks attached to work orders, recorded where the work happened.

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ

Production schedule

Schedule, material availability and work-in-progress views show what can start and what is stuck waiting on parts.

๐Ÿ“‰

WIP reporting

A WIP report keeps partially built value visible instead of vanishing between stock and sales.

An honest boundary

Knowledge ERP does work orders, routings and BOMs well. It does not attempt enterprise finite scheduling, capacity planning or MRP-II, and we say so on the pricing page too. If your planning needs are that deep, you likely need a bigger system; if they are not, you get to skip paying for one.

Pricing

$79 a month, plus seats

Requires materials to come from somewhere: most shops run it with Inventory, and add Purchasing when component buying picks up.
