This is a sequence, not a feature list. Each stage hands the same job record to the next — the quote becomes the order, the order becomes job cards, the cards become hours, the hours become pay.
Module 01
Quotes, orders & costing
Estimate from real material prices and real operation times, not last year's guesses. When the quote is accepted it becomes the order — same record, no re-typing — and the estimate travels with the job so actuals land next to it.
Replaces
The quoting spreadsheet, and the gap between what was quoted and what was made.
Module 02
Job cards & shop-floor tracking
Every order breaks into job cards per operation. Work is booked at the work centre — scanned, tapped or keyed — so you can see where any job physically is without walking the floor to ask.
Replaces
Paper job cards, and the whiteboard that's three days behind.
Module 03
Labour planning & piecework
Plan crews against the week's load and see bottlenecks before Thursday. Piecework is captured at the operation against versioned rate tables, so operators are paid from the same record the job was costed on.
Replaces
The wages notebook, and arguments about who did which bundle.
Module 04
Purchasing & inventory
Shortages raise requisitions from the jobs that need the material. Receipts land against orders, price breaks are applied automatically, and stock agrees with the jobs consuming it — because they are the same system.
Replaces
The re-order spreadsheet, and stock counts that never match.
Module 05
Payroll
Hours and piecework flow from the floor straight into the pay run — rates, overtime and shift rules applied once, centrally. The wages clerk checks and approves; nobody re-keys a timesheet.
Replaces
Re-typing timesheets into a payroll package that's never heard of your factory.
Underneath all of it
Multi-company and role-based access
Run more than one trading entity in a single system, with consolidated purchasing where it helps and clean separation where it matters. Every role — estimator, foreman, storeman, wages clerk — sees exactly the screens their job needs and nothing else.
