Bespoke Manufacturing Software Systems

Bespoke manufacturers have the challenge of configuring different product variations for custom orders.

Bespoke manufacturing software can provide accuracy, visibility and control to ensure your processes are aligned from start to finish so you can remain competitive and provide excellent customer service without delay. It gives you the ability to manage multiple Bill of Materials (BOM), routing instructions, material usages and pricing requirements all in one place to provide a cost-effective and efficient service to your customers.

ERP software centralises your data and processes and connects production and materials management so that it can be accessed in one unified system. With bespoke manufacturing software, you can automate order processing, scheduling, material handling, resource allocation and procurement and inventory management to ensure you have the right materials at the right time.

BESPOKE ORDER PROCESSING

Handle orders with accuracy

By offering customers more choices to create their products, custom and bespoke manufacturers have more variants within their production process. Sales orders become complicated as more variation means formulated cost banding, unique bills of materials (BOMs) and regular changes to work orders often leading to inaccurate planning and costly mistakes.

With bespoke manufacturing software, a centralised data system allows manufacturers to take custom orders, add them to the system and set up accurate pricing.

Bespoke manufacturing software unifies all the data needed to link customer orders and the activities or processes for production and materials management, which reduces the risk of inaccuracy and saves time.

Bespoke Product Configuration

Product configurator for bespoke manufacturing

Custom-made products can vary in colour, material and style based on customer preference. Bespoke manufacturers, therefore, require an expansive portfolio to accommodate each order. Offering such a large variety can become difficult to manage as multiple sale orders, associated BOMs and routing instructions are needed to complete the order.

Product configuration helps to build orders with the available variations and combinations at the point of sales order entry. It can also provide accurate delivery dates based on real-time information from existing production data. Once an order has been configured, it is automatically sent to the production team with a unique bill of materials and routing instructions.

A product configurator offers limitless options for customers to pick and choose from. These variations can be added or taken away by the custom manufacturer at any time. The configurator also eliminates manual input from sales representatives as it integrates seamlessly with any website or online portal. Working in real-time, the configurator can check if the order can be fulfilled based on the resources, materials and workforce available at that time required to complete the bespoke product.
