Manufacturing process automation
On a factory floor the value is made by machines and the people running them, not by retyping numbers from an email into an ERP. We automate exactly that middle layer: the document and order flow that caps how many orders your team can process.
The middle layer, automated.
Quotes, supplier invoices and production paperwork handled automatically inside your own ERP — so the people stay on the floor, where the value is made.

What gets automated first.
The ones where a person moves data between an email, the ERP and a document. In manufacturing that is almost always quoting and supplier invoice entry.
| Process | How it works today | How it works with the system |
|---|---|---|
| Preparing a quote | Details gathered from an email thread, prices worked out by hand | The email becomes a priced quote under your rules; a human approves it |
| Supplier invoices | Read and keyed into accounting one at a time | Extracted, matched against the order, posted with an audit trail |
| Production orders | Retyped from sales into the production plan | Created automatically; mismatches are routed to a person |
| Stock enquiries | Checked by hand before every reply | Stock level and lead time pulled from the ERP in real time |
| Quality and traveller documents | Collected and filled in manually | Generated from production data, signed off by a person |
3–6 weeks. Priced to the return.
Your first production system goes live 3–6 weeks after a signed scope. The price is tied to the return, not to hours.

Common questions.
Will we have to replace our ERP?
No. The automation works with the ERP you already run, reading and writing through its existing interfaces. Where no open interface exists, we build the integration as part of the work and it stays yours.
Our documents come in several languages. Is that a problem?
No. Systems are tested against your own documents in each language before launch, so they learn the formats you actually receive from suppliers and customers.
How long does analysing a manufacturer's processes take?
About a week. We measure how often the process repeats each month, how long one pass takes and what an hour of that work costs. That produces the number the price is compared against.
Can we start with a single plant or product line?
Yes, and usually we do. One process goes live in 3–6 weeks, and the foundations it lays make every later build faster.
Other sectors.
The same method applies to other sectors where data still moves by hand.
Logistics
The ones that repeat with every shipment. Document capture and status requests give the largest return, because their volume grows directly with turnover.
B2B trade & export
The ones that repeat with every enquiry. Quoting and taking orders from email are the usual first step, because there delay turns directly into lost deals.
Professional services
The ones that repeat across clients and require no judgement. Client intake and standard document drafting are the usual first step, because that time is not billable.Tell us about your process.
