BOM Errors and Paper Work Orders
Are Killing Your Output
When your bill of materials is wrong, everything downstream is wrong — you buy the wrong quantities, produce the wrong amounts, and ship late. Digital production tracking fixes the foundation.

Manufacturing Without Visibility
Your BOMs exist in spreadsheets that may or may not be current. Work orders are printed on paper and handed to the floor. Nobody knows the real-time status of production until someone physically walks over and counts. When a component runs out mid-production, the whole line stops while procurement scrambles. This is manufacturing in the dark — and it is costing you delivery dates, material waste, and customer trust.
Without a proper system
- BOM changes aren't tracked — which version was used last month?
- Paper work orders have no status tracking
- Component shortages discovered mid-production cause line stops
- Material consumption isn't linked to inventory in real time
- No visibility into production progress from the office
- Finished goods aren't automatically added to sellable inventory

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Multi-Level BOM Management
Create and maintain multi-level bills of materials with component tracking, versioning, and cost rollup. Always know exactly what goes into each product.
Digital Work Orders
Create, assign, and track work orders digitally. Real-time status updates from the floor: scheduled, in progress, completed, or on hold.
Material Consumption Tracking
When a work order consumes components, inventory is deducted automatically. No manual stock adjustments needed after production.
Production Output Recording
Record finished goods output against work orders. Completed units are automatically added to your sellable inventory.
Production Analytics
Track output rates, BOM consumption efficiency, and work order completion rates. Identify bottlenecks before they become problems.
Component Shortage Alerts
Before starting a work order, the system checks component availability. Get alerted if materials are insufficient to complete the production run.
Less material waste
Mid-production component shortages
On-time work order completion
Automated inventory updates
Frequently asked questions
Yes. You can create BOMs with multiple levels of sub-assemblies. Each level tracks its own components, quantities, and costs. BOM versioning lets you maintain history while using the latest version for production.
When a work order starts, required components are reserved in inventory. As production progresses, consumed materials are deducted. When finished goods are recorded, they are automatically added to your sellable stock. The entire flow is automatic — no manual stock adjustments needed.
Yes. BOMs include component costs with automatic rollup. Work orders track actual material consumption against planned quantities, giving you variance analysis for material efficiency and cost control.
