Why they buy it.

For UAE manufacturers of packaging, labels, parts and panels who make to order on paper job cards and keep quality records in binders, the Manufacturing app is a light ERP under their own brand that shows standard against actual cost for every work order and traces any lot from the supplier to every customer in seconds. Unlike Excel, a whiteboard plan and QC binders, it records material issue, output, scrap and inspections at the line on a tablet, so cost and traceability come from the shop floor as the work is done.

The job, the pain, the gain.

What the people who run these businesses are trying to get done, what goes wrong today, and what changes.

The job

  • Ship each order on time and in full.
  • Know what a job really cost and whether it made money.
  • Plan which line makes what, with which material.
  • Answer a customer complaint or a certificate request quickly.

The pain

  • Job cards are on paper and the plan is on a whiteboard, so nobody can say what a job cost or when an order will ship.
  • When a customer complains, finding which raw material lot went into which delivery means digging through binders.
  • Customers order by email and phone, then call again to ask for status, invoices and certificates.

The gain

  • The shop floor on a tablet
    Work orders from sales orders, placed on a schedule board per line. Materials issued with lot numbers, output and scrap reported at the line, and standard against actual cost per work order.
  • Quality recorded at the machine
    Inspection checklists with photos. A failed check opens a non-conformance report, lots are released by QC, and certificates of analysis or conformity are kept per lot.
  • Customers help themselves
    A branded portal to reorder from a previous order or upload a PO, follow status, and download delivery notes, invoices and certificates.

What makes it different.

Against Excel, paper job cards, a whiteboard plan and QC binders, and against a generic suite with a module bolted on.

Every lot, both ways

Supplier lots are recorded at goods received and issued to work orders, so a finished pallet traces back to the raw material lot and forward to every customer who received it.

QC holds the lot

A failed inspection opens a non-conformance report at the machine, and a lot is released for dispatch by QC, with its certificate of analysis or conformity attached.

UAE paperwork at dispatch

ICV and conformity certificates are kept with expiry reminders. A regulated item is dispatched while a valid certificate is on file, and export-only items cannot go to a domestic delivery.

A day with it.

08:00, the general manager's morning. As our demo tells it; the company and its data are fictional.

  1. The dashboard shows what needs action: a customer on credit hold with a new order, two open non-conformance reports on one supplier's material, a lot about to expire, and output against plan.

  2. A customer's buyer places a repeat order in the portal. The customer is over its credit limit, so the order is held until the accountant releases it.

  3. The work order goes onto the line's schedule. The operator reports output and scrap on the line tablet.

  4. A failed measurement on the QC checklist opens a non-conformance report at the machine.

  5. A complaint comes in. One search traces the pallet back to the supplier's lot and forward to every customer who received it. Dispatch, proof of delivery and the invoice follow on the same timeline.

Inside the app.

Who it is for.

Small and mid-sized UAE manufacturers that make to order for B2B customers: packaging, labels, plastic and metal parts, furniture, LED fittings, electrical panels. One plant, sometimes two, with 1 to 8 production lines.

Not for:

  • Plants that need automatic planning optimisation. The schedule board is placed by hand.
  • Plants that want output counted straight from their machines.
  • Companies looking for a full ERP with a general ledger. The books stay in their accounting software.

Also included.

  • Customer price lists and quotations
  • Credit limits with automatic credit hold
  • BOMs with versions and material shortages
  • Purchase orders in AED or foreign currency, with landed cost
  • Supplier bills with 3-way match
  • Dispatch with delivery notes and proof of delivery
  • Standard and zero-rated invoices, cheques and receivables
  • Migration from your Excel files

What people ask.

  1. We already use Tally, Zoho or QuickBooks.

    Keep it for the books. We cover orders, production, quality, stock and invoicing, and give your accountant a VAT summary. Accounting export is on the roadmap.

  2. We need automatic production planning.

    The schedule board is placed by hand per line, with material shortages from the BOM. If planning optimisation is your main need, we are probably not for you.

  3. Our shop-floor Wi-Fi is patchy.

    The tablets need a connection. When Wi-Fi drops, operators use paper job cards that the supervisor enters at the end of the shift. An offline mode is on the roadmap.

  4. Customers ask for our ICV certificate.

    The certificate is kept with an expiry reminder, attached to quotations and shown in the customer portal. Preparing the ICV data pack for the certifying body is on the roadmap.
