The challenges of running a Manufacturing business

In manufacturing the problem isn't a lack of data, it's that data lives apart: the BOM in one file, orders in the ERP, progress on whiteboards and sheets by the machine. So scheduling is a guess and product cost shows up only after the fact. We build custom manufacturing software and MES modules that connect BOM, orders, inventory and the shop floor, so you know in real time what the factory is producing and at what cost.

The bill of materials lives in a file separate from the ERP: an engineering change doesn't propagate, and you end up producing with different BOM versions in the office and on the floor.

Production orders are scheduled by whoever knows the machines by heart: if that person is out, planning stalls and priorities fall apart.

You learn progress at end of shift from sheets by the machine, so you discover downtime, scrap and delays when it's too late to act.

Raw-material and work-in-progress inventory isn't aligned with production: a component is missing right when it's needed, or you have capital sitting on the shelf.

What we build

Bill of materials and production orders

A structured, versioned BOM that generates production orders and commits materials. An engineering change flows through to orders and requirements, so floor and engineering always work on the same version.

Progress tracking and shop-floor MES

Machine-side stations or terminals where the operator declares start, finish, good quantities and scrap. You see order progress in real time, downtime and actual yield, without rebuilding them at end of day.

Production scheduling

Order planning across resources and machines with priorities, constraints and real capacity. Delivery dates become realistic and the shift lead's know-how stops being the only plan that exists.

Inventory and quality control

Raw-material and WIP stock tied to production orders, with requirement-based reordering. Quality checks with results recorded per batch, for traceability and non-conformance analysis.

Custom or off-the-shelf?

If your production cycle is linear and standard, an ERP with a ready production module may cover you well. Custom, or a dedicated MES, pays off when your process is particular (make-to-order work, product configuration, multiple plants) or when the ERP you already run doesn't reach the machine. We often keep the ERP for master data and accounting and build custom only the shop-floor layer it lacks.

How much it costs

A MES solution with scheduling, bills of materials and integration to your ERP and machines usually lands between €30,000 and €60,000. To start smaller, a first custom module (shop-floor progress capture) falls within the Gestionale Light package: €5,000–€12,000 and go-live in 8–10 weeks. We set the price after a free analysis of a pilot line or department, so you know what you are paying for and why.

Frequently asked questions

It depends on the scope. The Gestionale Light package covers a first module (shop-floor progress capture) between €5,000 and €12,000, with go-live in 8–10 weeks; a MES solution with scheduling, bills of materials and integration to your ERP and machines usually runs €30,000 to €60,000. We always start with a free analysis of a pilot line or department to give you a real quote, not a price list.
