Manufacturing Module

This feature allows your team to quote jobs using available inventory, historical data, and costs from your CRM. Turning a quote into a work order has never been easier as once you win the work, this feature will automatically initiate the inventory allocation and scheduling process.

Unique to DMS ERP when recording labour and material costs for manufacturing orders that are for multiple quantities. If, for example, a customer orders five finished units, then Discovery’s “Group With” function will allow you to record labour and materials for that group of units. This is useful when your shop floor works on all the units simultaneously but does not assign time for a specific unit. Discovery’s time entry system will split the hours entered over all the units thus saving time to record and enter this data.

If a customer requires a change, you can apply the change to an individual unit or use the “Group With” function, that will apply the change to all units in a batch. Discovery’s Manufacturing Module has the flexibility to ensure you can tailor each projects needs specific to your situation with corresponding WO’s and BoM to match for traceability.

Reduce waste, optimize job schedules, and ensure your business is always stocked by taking advantage of real-time integrations with inventory and purchasing. With enhanced resource allocation and purchasing power, you’ll gain deeper insights into actual costs and cash flow - all of which can be deeply analyzed directly within the user interface.

Stay on top of your costs and gain complete visibility into the profitability of operations and supplier relationships. Hold your suppliers accountable and negotiate favourable terms with actionable insights.

Production jobs can be scheduled by work center using the customer request date, backward scheduling, or by applying available resources directly to a job. Time captured on the shop floor is summarized by employee and is always primed to be sent to the payroll system for processing.

Gain a clear, real-time picture of your production costs with built-in job costing tools. Track labour, materials, subcontracting, and overhead expenses against each job to understand true profitability - before, during, and after production. Whether you're running one-off custom builds or volume runs, job costing gives you the insights to price competitively, reduce waste, and drive continuous improvement across your manufacturing operations.
