Write down the BOM
We capture the bills of materials you already use, including the levels that today live in a supervisor's head.
Manufacturing, costed per order.
If you cannot say what a production order really cost, the price you quote is a guess. This module closes that gap.
What the module does.
- Work orders from release to completion
- Multi-level bills of materials
- Per-order costing with real material and labor consumption
- Quality control checkpoints
- Lot traceability from input to finished product
What it changes in the meeting.
Quoting stops being intuition. With per-order costing you know which products carry the margin and which ones you are subsidizing. That single number usually pays for the project.
Who it makes sense for.
Manufacturers that already know their BOM on paper but cannot answer what a specific order cost. If quoting depends on the experience of one person, the module turns that experience into a calculation anyone can repeat.
- Plants with several products and shared materials
- Operations with quality checks that live on paper
- Businesses that need lot traceability for a client or a regulator
- Anyone quoting from intuition rather than from cost
Where the money shows up.
Two places, usually within the first quarter: you stop quoting below cost on the products that quietly lose money, and you stop carrying inventory for orders that no longer exist. Both are visible the first time you close a period with real per-order numbers.
How it connects to the rest of the ERP.
Production consumes inventory and writes back finished goods, so stock and cost stay aligned without a second entry. Quality checkpoints attach to the work order, and lot traceability follows the material from receipt to shipment — the answer a demanding client or an auditor will eventually ask for.
Because it runs on the same system as purchasing and invoicing, the cost of an order is not reconstructed at month end; it is known while the order is still open.
Pricing.
The manufacturing module is +$1,200 USD on top of any NEOS tier, which start at $7,500 USD. One-time payment; the annual fee from year two covers server, backups, support and maintenance.
What we need from you to start.
Your product list with the bills of materials you use today, the routing of your main processes, and the quality checkpoints that already exist on paper. If your BOM lives in the head of one supervisor, part of the diagnostic is writing it down once, in a format the system can calculate.
What we measure after go-live.
Cost accuracy per order against the previous estimate, the share of orders that need a manual correction, and the difference between quoted and realized margin. The third number is usually the one that changes how you price.
Why not a generic manufacturing package.
Generic packages assume a standard plant and a standard flow. If your routing, your quality checkpoints or your cost structure are specific, you either pay consultants to bend the package or you change how you work to fit it. Building around your flow avoids both.
How the module works.
Model the routing
The steps a product goes through, with the checkpoints that already exist on paper.
Release work orders
From release to completion, with real material and labor consumption recorded.
Close with real cost
Every order closes with its actual cost, available while the order is still open.
Costed per order vs. intuition.
| Design X AI (custom) | Per-user SaaS | |
|---|---|---|
| Quoting | From real cost per product | From experience and habit |
| Margin | Known by product and by order | Averaged at year end |
| Waste | Visible while the order runs | Discovered in the next audit |
| Quality | Checkpoints attached to the work order | Paper forms and clipboards |
| Traceability | Lot from input to finished goods | Reconstructed after a complaint |
| Inventory | Consumption and finished goods update stock | A second entry, later |
Before you decide.
How much does the manufacturing module cost?
+$1,200 USD on top of the NEOS tier, which starts at $7,500 USD. One-time payment.
Does it support multi-level BOMs?
Yes, multi-level bills of materials are included.
Can I see the cost per production order?
Yes. Per-order costing with real consumption is the core of the module.
Does it track quality and lots?
Yes, quality checkpoints and lot traceability are included.
Does it update inventory automatically?
Yes. Consumption and finished goods are written back to the same inventory the rest of the ERP uses.
Can we run it alongside our current process at first?
Yes. A parallel run during stabilization is normal and helps the team trust the numbers.
