Manufacturing
Manufacturing ERP for Kenyan factories.
A recipe for every product, a schedule for every line, and the true cost of every unit — materials, labour, and overhead, not a guess.
The problem
If this sounds familiar, you're who we built this for.
Unit cost is a guess
You know what materials cost and what the product sells for — but labour, power, and waste in between are estimated, so margins are folklore.
Stock counts never match
Raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods move between store and floor on paper. The weekend stock-take is a ritual nobody trusts.
Quality failures reach customers
Without checkpoints at receipt, in process, and before dispatch, the customer becomes your quality department — and they resign loudly.
What we build
The system, piece by piece.
Bills of materials and real costing
Every product gets its recipe; every production run records what was actually consumed — so each batch shows its true cost, not the brochure cost.
A schedule the floor can follow
Work orders tell each line what to produce today, pull the right materials, and report what came out — visible to the office in real time.
Quality gates built into the flow
Inspection checklists at goods receipt, during production, and before dispatch. When something fails, trace it to the batch and the source — not just apologise.
Stores, payroll, and books in one place
Material moves update stock and the ledger together; the same system runs payroll with current KRA rules. One close, one truth.
Production runs on ERPNext — the same proven open platform as your finance, stock, and payroll — so factory numbers and accounting numbers can never disagree. See what's inside the platform and how an implementation runs.
Common questions
Asked on almost every call.
Which kinds of manufacturers do you work with?
The system fits process and discrete manufacturing alike — food and beverage, metal fabrication, plastics, textiles, furniture, construction materials. If it has a recipe and a routing, it can be costed.
Can you migrate our existing items, BOMs, and stock?
Yes — data migration is part of every implementation. Items, BOMs, suppliers, customers, and opening stock come in before go-live, and we run parallel with your old system until the numbers match.
Can it read our weighbridge or scales?
Where the hardware exposes data we integrate it; where it does not, structured capture at the weighbridge keeps the record complete. Either way the tonnage ends up on the batch.
How much does it cost?
Scoped to your factory: a one-time fixed implementation quote, then one flat monthly fee for hosting, support, and updates. A thirty-minute call gives you a realistic range.
