Module
A product cost that includes the labour
Production plans that release into work orders, issuance capped at what remains planned, leftover work-in-progress returned on completion, and labour folded into the finished product cost rather than booked away as overhead.
What it does
Bills of materials with yield
A recipe with a base quantity and a yield, so a formula that makes 95 units from inputs for 100 costs correctly rather than quietly overstating the margin.
Routings and work centres
The steps a product goes through, with the time and the centre each takes. That is what turns labour from a monthly overhead figure into a cost attached to the thing it made.
Plans that release into work orders
A production plan is released into work orders and gets their progress back, so the plan reflects what the floor actually did rather than what was intended.
Issuance capped at what remains
You cannot issue more material to an order than it still plans to consume. Over-issue is the quiet route by which a work order's cost stops meaning anything.
Leftovers return on completion
Material issued and not consumed is returned to stock when the order completes, rather than staying as work-in-progress nobody reconciles.
Quality checks and variances
Checks recorded against an order, with material and labour variances reported against the plan rather than discovered in the annual accounts.
Why teams choose it
What your business gains:
Know what each product really costs: labour is built into the finished-product cost, not lost in monthly overhead.
Margins you can rely on: yields are costed correctly, and material issues never exceed what the order still plans to use.
Plans reflect what the floor actually produced, because work-order progress flows straight back into the production plan.
Catch variances early: material and labour variances and quality checks are reported per order, not found at year end.
Questions about this
Can we switch on only the modules we need?
Yes, and the ones you do not use stay out of the menu rather than sitting there greyed out. Accounting is always on, because every other module posts to it.
Can we run more than one branch or warehouse?
Yes, from the Professional plan. Each branch has its own cash boxes and linked accounts, stock moves between warehouses with a real journal behind it, and a user can be limited to the branch they work in.
Is the manufacturing module real, or a label on inventory?
Real: bills of materials with yield, routings, production plans that release into work orders, issuance capped at what remains planned, leftover work-in-progress returned on completion, and labour folded into the product cost rather than booked away as overhead.
Is there a point of sale?
Yes — a cashier register with product tiles and a numpad, and a sales history. It posts to the same ledger as everything else, so the till and the accounts cannot disagree.
The register is built for fast cash sales at the counter. A credit sale with payment terms goes through a sales invoice, which posts to the same ledger and appears on the same customer statement.
Are there mobile apps?
Three: a field-sales and CRM app, an employee self-service app for attendance, leave and payslips, and an owner dashboard. They are native apps rather than the website in a frame.
