Simple ERP System for Manufacturers
Simple where users need it. Complete where manufacturing needs it.
Fraction ERP gives SME manufacturers one system for sales, production, inventory, purchasing and shop floor updates - without the complexity of enterprise ERP.
Clear screens your team can use daily
Connected quote-to-delivery workflows
Live shop floor data without extra admin
What Simple ERP Should Mean
Simplicity should be visible in implementation, learning and daily work—not achieved by stripping out the manufacturing capability your business relies on.
Simple to operate
Practical workflows give users clear next actions when quoting, checking stock, updating jobs or reviewing performance.
Simple to understand
Connected sales, stock, production and purchasing data gives everyone a consistent view of the operation.
Simple to learn
Users should not need to become ERP specialists before they can work confidently in the office or on the shop floor.
Simple to implement
Move from existing systems without turning ERP into a multi-year transformation programme.
Simple to improve
Fraction continues to evolve through daily manufacturing use and feedback from the manufacturers who rely on it.
Simple Does Not Mean Lightweight
A simple manufacturing ERP still needs to cover the real work that happens from customer order to delivery.
The goal is not fewer capabilities. The goal is less friction around the capabilities your team uses every day.
That includes MRP, automatic and drag-and-drop scheduling, capacity planning, shop-floor data, purchasing, inventory, traceability, quality, subcontracting, job costing, reporting and integrations through the Fraction API.
Independent customer evidence
People of all ages adopted Fraction with minimal support and without an intensive training programme.

A simple ERP system is usually a good fit when your operation needs more control, but your team does not want a long, consultant-heavy ERP project.
- SME manufacturers moving away from spreadsheets
- Teams replacing disconnected systems
- Operations that need shop floor updates without extra admin
- Businesses that need production visibility but not enterprise ERP overhead
What to Watch Out For
Not every product described as simple ERP will be right for manufacturing. Check what it can actually handle before you commit.
Too lightweight
Some simple systems are easy because they avoid production, BOMs, MRP, routing or shop floor detail.
Generic business software
Accounting-led or CRM-led tools may still need workarounds for real manufacturing workflows.
Hidden complexity
A clean demo can still become difficult if every process needs custom setup or external configuration.
How Fraction ERP Fits
Fraction ERP is built around practical manufacturing workflows: quotes, sales orders, BOMs, works orders, stock, purchasing, scheduling, shop floor data capture, quality and reporting.
The interface is designed to keep those workflows usable for the people who rely on them every day, from office teams to production managers and shop floor operators.
