Manufacture Efficiently

If you are a manufacturer, you likely already know the importance of having accurate product counts in your facilities. This can include not only individual ingredients used in your customer's product formulas but also the individual container parts and shipping materials needed to complete them. With optional scanner support and barcode generation to simplify your batch production, you can streamline your manufacturing processes while accurately maintaining your inventory counts.

Handle production using both process manufacturing (recipes) and discrete manufacturing (parts). You can design a completely custom and flexible process that matches your unique production requirements.
