DERA for manufacturing
From raw materials
to the delivered order
We develop systems connecting sales, procurement, inventory, production, maintenance and accounts. We start with your products and production lines, then tailor the solution to how your factory works.
Solution areas
Every stage has its needs. One connected system
Select an area to explore what can be configured and developed for your factory.
Products & bills of materials
Define product components, quantities and manufacturing stages with tailored review and approval workflows.
Requirements, data and workflows are assessed before features are agreed in the project scope.
Illustrative interactive workflow
Follow an order across the factory
Selected stage
Customer order
Record the product, quantity and requested delivery date.
Responsible team
Sales
Role-shaped experiences
Operators deliver. Supervisors follow up. Management sees the picture
Factory-floor interfaces
Tasks, instructions, quantities, time and downtime through role- and site-appropriate interfaces.
Production dashboards
Track orders, stages, materials and requests using recorded data.
Customer & supplier portals
Requests, documents, supply and delivery status within each party’s permissions.
Automation & AI
Clearer information. Fewer manual steps
Summarise shift reports and fault requests
Search operating instructions within access permissions
Extract document data for review
Alerts, approvals and task routing based on business rules
Uses are tested with your team and human review is defined. Demand and fault prediction require data assessment.
Customisation & integration
Start with your factory as it works today
We review products, components, production lines, equipment and current systems, then define modules, interfaces, costing, quality and scheduling requirements, distinguishing configuration, customisation and new development.
Scales, machines, barcode devices and external-system integrations depend on devices, interfaces and permissions. Specialist quality and traceability requirements are reviewed with your team before scope is agreed.
Frequently asked questions
Do you develop ERP systems for factories?
We develop and tailor systems connecting sales, procurement, inventory, production, maintenance and accounts, based on your products, lines and workflows.
Will the solution fit our production model?
We assess products, bills of materials, stages, equipment and recording practices, then define suitability and customisation before implementation.
Can bills of materials and production stages be tailored?
Components, quantities, operations and work centres can be configured with tailored review and approval. Specialist formulations or production methods receive their own assessment.
Can we trace batches and consumed materials?
Traceability can connect lot or serial numbers with material movements, production and deliveries, depending on the product and recording practices.
Can we manage scrap and production cost?
We define consumption and scrap recording, causes and material, operating and expense cost components, then design reports around an agreed costing method.
Can you add quality checks?
We develop inspection forms, acceptance and rejection results, attachments and corrective workflows, with scope and criteria defined with your team.
Can you build operator and supervisor interfaces?
Interfaces can show tasks and record quantities, time, downtime and findings, with appropriate permissions for each role.
Can you integrate scales, barcode devices and machines?
We assess device type, communication protocol, interfaces and access before confirming integration. Additional hardware or development may be needed.
How can AI help factory operations?
Uses can include shift summaries, fault categorisation, procedure search and document extraction. Demand or failure prediction requires suitable data and separate validation.
Can you connect to our existing accounting or systems?
We assess interfaces and required data, then define integration, migration, validation and responsibilities between systems.
What will the system cost and how long will it take?
Cost and timing depend on modules, interfaces, production complexity, integrations and migration. Assessment leads to scope, schedule and pricing, with phased delivery possible.
Does delivery include training and support?
Training, documentation, support, maintenance, coverage and response times are defined in the proposal, with user workflow testing before launch.
