Manufacturing Management: your questions answered
What is manufacturing software for business?
Manufacturing software for business helps manufacturers plan and track production alongside the materials, stock and orders behind it. Rather than relying on spreadsheets, teams work from one system. Central ERP connects manufacturing with inventory, purchasing, sales and finance, giving SME manufacturers a single, live view of the business from order to dispatch.
Is Central ERP suitable for growing manufacturers?
Yes. Central ERP is built for SMEs, including growing manufacturers who have outgrown spreadsheets but do not need an enterprise system. You get connected production, stock, purchasing and finance at an SME friendly cost, with UK based support from a team that will help you set the system up around your processes.
Can I build quality checks into the production process?
Yes. Central ERP's custom task engine lets you define the quality checks, inspections and sign offs your products need. You can set conditions so that, for example, an inspection must be completed before an order is dispatched. The system then makes sure each step happens, every time, without relying on memory.
How does manufacturing software help with stock control?
Manufacturing software helps with stock control by tracking raw materials and finished goods in one inventory. In Central ERP, production draws on live stock levels and purchasing can replenish materials before they run out. This reduces both shortages that stop production and excess stock that ties up cash on the shelf.
How much does manufacturing software for business cost?
Central ERP is priced per user: £40 per month on Standard and £80 on Complete, excluding VAT, with Custom plans for more complex needs. Production, stock, purchasing and finance all run in the same system, so you are not paying for several separate tools. Our team will confirm the right plan for you.
Can I link production to customer orders?
Yes. Central ERP connects production to the sales orders it fulfils, so sales and operations work from the same information. Your team can see what needs making for each order and how work is progressing, which helps them give customers realistic delivery dates and then keep to them.
