ERP System for Manufacturing — Full Shop-Floor Control
A custom ERP system for manufacturing connects bills of materials, routings, shop-floor terminals and inventory into one source of truth. From customer order to dispatch, you run the entire process in real time — no spreadsheets, no duplicate data entry, no guessing what's actually happening on the floor.
What the system covers
Multi-level BOMs
Variants, substitutes and phantom components; automatic material explosion the moment a production order is released.
Routings and operations
Operations defined per work center, setup and cycle times, drawings and SOPs attached at the operator station.
MES layer and shop-floor terminals
Touch terminals at every workstation — start/stop operation, report good and scrap units, log downtime reasons. Zero paper travelers.
Barcode lots and serials
Full traceability from raw material to finished product. Find which lot ended up in which customer order in minutes, not days.
MRP and capacity planning
Net requirements against forecasts and orders, plus finite capacity scheduling that shows realistic completion dates.
OEE and scrap analytics
OEE per machine and shift, scrap rate by cause, operator efficiency — real numbers driving real decisions.
Who it fits
Machine shops and metalworking
Small batches, frequent tool changes, multi-step routings. The system tracks actual cycle time against standards and tells you when the standard itself needs updating.
Food and beverage
Shelf life, lot control and FSSC 22000-grade traceability. In a recall you identify affected customers and quantities in under 15 minutes — not by flipping through notebooks.
Furniture manufacturing
Made-to-measure orders, 3D-to-BOM hand-off, panel cut optimization. The shop knows exactly what to build before the customer invoice is even printed.
How we build it
We do not resell someone else's SaaS. We build your own ERP system for manufacturing on a proven stack: PostgreSQL for data, .NET or Node.js for business logic, React/Next.js for the web UI, React Native for mobile and industrial terminals. REST APIs and webhooks keep the system open to whatever lives around it.
We start with one to two days on site, mapping how production actually flows, who writes what on paper, where time leaks out. From that map we lock the MVP scope for phase one — typically BOM, production orders, inventory and shop-floor terminals. Other modules ship in later sprints without halting operations.
We integrate with barcode and rugged mobile terminals (Zebra, Honeywell, Android industrial), your accounting software, eMAG marketplace, couriers and electronic invoicing. See how we approach API integrations for existing landscapes.
Go-live happens in stages: one cell first, then the whole shop, then across sites. Risk stays low and people get time to adapt. After go-live we stay on an SLA-backed support contract — no surprises in year one.
Why Saitami for your manufacturing ERP
Shop-floor productivity
Average uplift six months after go-live, measured on real client data from metalworking and food production deployments.
Scrap and rework
Achieved through in-process QC at every operation and automatic blocks when a unit drifts out of spec.
Starting investment
Fixed price for the MVP phase. No per-user licensing, no hidden subscription. You own the system outright.
Manufacturing ERP often runs alongside an ERP for warehouse and ERP for trade on a single architecture — one database, one source of truth. See also our custom ERP development service.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does manufacturing ERP implementation take?
Manufacturing ERP implementation typically takes between 6 and 14 weeks for the first productive phase. A small shop with one production cell goes live in 6-8 weeks. A mid-size plant with 3-5 cells, warehouse and accounting integration lands closer to 12-14 weeks. We do not do big-bang go-lives — we deploy in stages, starting with the most painful process.
Is this ERP system suitable for small manufacturers?
This ERP system is suitable for small manufacturers with 5-15 employees. That is exactly why we start with an MVP scope — BOM, production orders and inventory — without bloated modules that weigh down operators. You get the same traceability as a large plant, with a lighter interface, fewer terminals and 2-3 days of training. The €6,800 starting price is sized for this segment.
Can the system integrate with existing accounting software?
The system integrates with existing accounting software in almost every project. We connect to Microinvest, Plus Minus, Ajour, Business Navigator and SAP Business One via API, file exchange or direct database hand-off. Production costs, customer invoices and stock movements flow into accounting automatically. You keep your accounting tool — the ERP runs operations.
How much does an ERP system for manufacturing cost?
An ERP system for manufacturing starts from €6,800 for an MVP rollout in a small shop and typically lands between €18,000 and €42,000 for a mid-size plant with multiple cells, warehouses and accounting integration. Pricing is fixed against the agreed scope, paid in milestones, and never includes per-user fees. Post-go-live support is a separate SLA contract.
