Solution · Manufacturing ERP

Manufacturing ERP built around your production floor, not a generic factory

Every factory plans, buys, produces and ships — but no two do it the same way. A garments unit in Gazipur runs style-wise; a plastics plant in Narayanganj runs by machine and mould; a food processor runs by batch and shelf life. AutoProbaho builds manufacturing ERP that follows your BOMs, routings, shifts and costing logic, captures data on the floor in Bengali or English, and gives management real production numbers the same day.

Production data lives on whiteboards and in the planner’s head

The plan is a spreadsheet, material requirements are calculated by experience, work orders are verbal, and output is written on a board and copied into Excel at night. Costing is done after the month closes — if the wastage figures can be found. Management learns about a material shortage when the line stops, and about a loss-making order when the accounts arrive.

Generic ERPs model a textbook factory. Fitting a real one — sub-contracting, rework, by-products, shift-wise output, machine-wise efficiency, style-wise costing — usually means paid customisation that breaks on every upgrade, or staff working around the system with side sheets.

Who this is for

  • Garments, textile and accessories manufacturers running style- and order-wise production
  • Plastics, packaging, furniture, food, pharma and light-engineering plants
  • Factories with 50–1,000 workers that have outgrown Excel and packaged ERP trials
  • Groups with several units that need consolidated production and costing views

Current pain points

  • Material shortages found too late

    Requirements are calculated by hand, so lines stop waiting for a component nobody ordered.

  • No visibility of WIP

    Nobody knows how much is on each line or in each stage until the physical count.

  • Costing after the fact

    Actual cost per order or style is known weeks later, when it is too late to act.

  • Wastage and rework unmeasured

    Losses are absorbed silently because they are never recorded per line or shift.

  • Reports assembled by hand

    Daily production reports are typed from boards and phone messages every night.

What AutoProbaho builds

  1. Production core

    Bills of material with versions, routings, work centres, work orders and MRP that reflect your real process — including sub-contracting.

  2. Shop-floor capture

    Tablet and mobile screens for supervisors and operators: material issue, output per shift, wastage, rework, downtime — offline-tolerant.

  3. Planning & scheduling

    Order-wise or forecast-based planning, capacity view by line or machine, material availability check before release.

  4. Costing & quality

    Standard vs actual cost per order, style or batch; QC checkpoints, rejections and traceability by lot.

  5. Connected to stock, purchase, sales and finance

    One data model with inventory, purchasing, sales, HR and finance — or integrated with your existing systems.

Modules & capabilities

  • BOM & routing

    Multi-level BOMs, alternates, consumption norms, routings with work centres and standard times.

  • Planning & MRP

    Demand from orders or forecast, net requirements, purchase and work-order suggestions.

  • Work orders

    Release, material issue, operation tracking, split and merge, sub-contract issue and receipt.

  • Shop-floor execution

    Shift-wise output, operator and machine logs, downtime reasons, rework loops.

  • Quality control

    Incoming, in-process and final inspection, sampling plans, rejection handling, CAPA notes.

  • Costing

    Material, labour and overhead absorption; standard vs actual; order, style and batch profitability.

  • Maintenance

    Machine master, preventive schedules, breakdown logs, spare parts consumption.

  • Production dashboards

    Plan vs actual, efficiency by line, WIP by stage, wastage trends, on-time delivery.

Interactive demonstration

Example workflows

Order to production plan

  1. 1Sales order or buyer PO is confirmed
  2. 2BOM explodes into material requirements
  3. 3MRP nets against stock and open POs
  4. 4Purchase requests and work orders are generated
  5. 5Planner reviews capacity and releases the schedule

Shift production

  1. 1Supervisor opens the work order on a tablet
  2. 2Materials are issued against consumption norms
  3. 3Output, wastage and rework are posted per shift
  4. 4Downtime is logged with a reason
  5. 5Costing and WIP update automatically

Sub-contract loop

  1. 1Materials are issued to the sub-contractor with a challan
  2. 2Expected output and due date are tracked
  3. 3Finished goods are received and inspected
  4. 4Sub-contractor bill is matched to receipt
  5. 5Cost is absorbed into the order

Integrations

  • Attendance devices and payroll inputs
  • Barcode/QR scanners and label printers
  • Machine counters and IoT sensors where available
  • Buyer portals and EDI where relevant
  • WhatsApp Business, SMS and email
  • Google Workspace / Microsoft 365
  • n8n workflow automation and BI tools

Implementation process

  1. 01

    Floor audit

    We walk the floor with planners, supervisors and store-keepers and map how orders actually move through production.

  2. 02

    Model your process

    BOM structure, routings, work centres, shifts and costing rules agreed and prototyped on screen.

  3. 03

    Build in phases

    Typically inventory and BOM first, then work orders and floor capture, then costing and quality.

  4. 04

    Migrate & train

    Item, BOM and open-order data imported; supervisors and operators trained on tablets in their language.

  5. 05

    Go-live & optimise

    Line-by-line rollout, hypercare through the first closes, then continuous improvement of norms and reports.

Expected business outcomes

  • Shortages seen before the line stops

    MRP and availability checks surface gaps at planning time.

  • Live WIP and output

    Management sees today’s production today, by line and stage.

  • Costing you can act on

    Order and style profitability is visible while the order is still running.

  • Wastage and rework measured

    Losses are recorded per shift and line, so they can be reduced.

Security & ownership

  • You own the system and data

    Deployed in your cloud or on-premise; source access and documentation handed over.

  • Role-based floor access

    Operators, supervisors, planners and management see only what their role needs; every posting is logged.

  • Backups & continuity

    Encrypted backups, tested restores and offline capture for power and network interruptions.

Frequently asked questions

Yes — that is the point of building it around your floor. Multi-level BOMs, sub-contracting, rework, by-products, shift-wise output and style- or batch-wise costing are modelled from your actual process.
