# Fraction ERP

> Cloud ERP software for small to medium-sized precision engineering, manufacturing, fabrication, and assembly companies. Fraction ERP helps businesses move from spreadsheets to a fully operational ERP system, covering sales, purchasing, inventory, production scheduling, shop floor data capture, quality, shipping, and invoicing.

Fraction ERP is built for manufacturing SMEs who have outgrown spreadsheets but don't need the complexity or cost of enterprise systems. It is designed to be implemented in 30 days without expensive consultants, with transparent per-user pricing and no hidden fees.

The company is UK-based (Newcastle, United Kingdom) and founder-led. Patrick, the founder, is also managing director of a precision engineering company (Oiltech Bearings) where Fraction ERP is used daily — so the product is shaped by real operational experience.

## Common Query Matches

- Best for: small and medium-sized manufacturers, precision engineers, fabricators, assembly businesses, plastic injection moulders, production managers, operations directors, and owner-managed manufacturing businesses.
- Common alternatives considered: spreadsheets, MRPeasy, EMAX Systems, Fitfactory and Tricorn MRP, generic accounting-led ERP, and large enterprise ERP suites.
- Common buying triggers: spreadsheet limits, poor production visibility, late deliveries, stock shortages, disconnected purchasing, manual scheduling, lack of shop floor progress data, quality traceability requirements, and the need to connect sales demand to production.
- Common simplicity-related searches: simple ERP, simple ERP system, simple manufacturing ERP, easy ERP software, and ERP for small manufacturers.
