Industries

Built for your industry

ProdSys was built together with Norwegian manufacturers, but is used just as much by wholesalers, service companies and project-based service businesses. The foundation is the same: you know what a job costs while it is running.

Manufacturing

ERP and MES in one system for the workshop

Machine shops, make-to-order manufacturers and process industry have one thing in common: the margin is decided in the costing and on the shop floor, long before the invoice is sent. ProdSys links bill of materials, production order, time capture and post-calculation in the same flow, so you see actual cost against estimated cost while the job is still running.

Operators clock on to operations from a terminal or phone, materials are drawn from stock with batch and serial numbers, and quality checks and deviations live inside the work order, not in a separate system.

Bills of materials and MRPMulti-level BOM, variants, alternative components, revision control.
Shop floor controlOperations, scanning and real-time progress per station.
Post-calculationActual cost per order and per product, updated from time capture.
Traceability and qualityBatch, serial numbers, inspection forms and deviations in the same order.

“We have increased our margins by 12% simply by getting better costings. We now charge the right prices because we know what things actually cost to produce.”

Per Kolbjørn Hårstad, Managing Director, Verkstedpartner AS

From goods receipt to invoiceMultiple warehouses, picking, stock-taking and web shop in the same system.

Trade and wholesale

Run the whole trading business from one system

Importers, wholesalers and distributors live by having the right goods in the right place at the right price. ProdSys keeps stock levels in real time across locations, with minimum levels and automatic reordering, and lets you price per customer, price group and campaign without a spreadsheet on the side.

Orders from the web shop land directly in ProdSys, larger customers can exchange orders electronically via EDI, and the margin reports show which products and customers are actually profitable.

Inventory managementReal-time stock, multiple warehouses, min/max and stock-taking.
Flexible pricingCustomer-specific prices, price groups, volume discounts.

Service industries

For consultants, agencies and service providers

Service businesses that have outgrown Excel need one place for hours, projects and invoicing. In ProdSys, hours are recorded per employee, project and customer from phone or PC, go through approval and end up as an invoice, whether fixed price, hourly rate, milestone or subscription.

Along the way you see budget against actual, progress and how much billable time each resource generates, so loss-making projects are caught before they are finished. Framework agreements and contract terms sit in the same view.

The same foundation

What all industries have in common

Whether you manufacture, sell or deliver hours: ProdSys is built around four things that decide whether a job turns a profit.

Costing before the quote

Materials, operations and hours are priced before the quote goes out, and become the basis of the order with one click.

Time capture where the work happens

From terminal, phone or PC, in your own language. Hours land on the right order without manual entry.

Post-calculation as you go

Actual cost against estimate per order, while the job is running, not after the invoice has been sent.

Accounting stays where it is

ProdSys creates the invoice and sends it to the accounting system you already use, such as PowerOffice, Tripletex or Visma.
