ERP for Engineering and Manufacturing Companies
Gain Control of Jobs, Materials, and Production in One System
Engineering and manufacturing companies need more than a generic ERP. You need a system that understands jobs, multi-stage production, complex BOMs, and real-time visibility across the shop floor.
Track jobs accurately
Plan materials effectively
Deliver on time
The Challenges Engineering Companies Face
Engineering and manufacturing businesses face specific operational challenges:
- Jobs are tracked in spreadsheets or whiteboards
- Material shortages cause delays at the wrong time
- No clear view of job progress across the shop floor
- Costing is estimated rather than tracked accurately
- Delivery dates are missed because planning is reactive
Without the right system, these problems only get worse as the business grows.
Built for Engineering — Not Adapted to It
Fraction ERP is designed for how engineering companies actually work.
Plan Materials Based on Real Demand (MRP)
Material planning should be driven by your orders — not guesswork.
- Plan material requirements based on demand
- Avoid shortages and production delays
- Reduce excess stock and wasted spend
Manage Jobs from Start to Finish
Every job needs structure — from order to completion.
- Track progress through every stage
- Manage priorities across the shop floor
- Keep production and planning aligned
Accurate Job Costing — Not Estimates
Know exactly what each job costs — and whether it is profitable.
- Track labour, materials, and time per job
- Compare planned vs actual costs
- Identify unprofitable jobs before it is too late
Real-Time Visibility Across Your Operation
Stop chasing updates — see everything in one place.
- Live job status across the shop floor
- Accurate inventory levels at all times
- Clear visibility of what is on track and what is not
Still Using Spreadsheets to Run Your Engineering Business?
Many engineering companies rely on Excel to manage jobs, materials, and production. This leads to:
- Manual data entry and duplication
- Errors and inconsistencies
- No real-time visibility
- Time-consuming administration
Fraction ERP replaces spreadsheets with a single, connected system.
