The technology problem
The technical problem is a shared data model for materials, bills of materials, production orders and stock movements, with approval workflows and reporting on top.
Industry ยท Manufacturing
Manufacturing systems that connect stock, production and purchasing.
Manufacturers need to know what they have, what is being made and what to order. We build systems that keep those answers current.

Industry challenges
Where the friction is
- Raw material, work-in-progress and finished stock are tracked in different files.
- Bills of materials and production orders are not linked, so costs and shortages surface late.
- Purchasing reacts to shortages instead of planning for them.
- Managers assemble production reports by hand.
Our experience. Codexaara has not published a manufacturing case study yet. This page describes solution areas we can build, not a track record in the sector.
Capabilities
What we build for manufacturing
Inventory and stock movement
Materials, components and finished goods with movement history and locations.
Bill of materials
Structured product recipes that link to stock and production.
Production workflow
Production orders, stages and status visible to the whole team.
Purchasing and suppliers
Purchase requests, orders and goods received linked to demand.
Operational reporting
Stock valuation, usage, throughput and shortage views.
Example solutions
What good looks like
Linked materials and production
Production orders that reserve and consume stock automatically.
Shortage visibility
Alerts that show what needs to be ordered before production is blocked.

Engineering considerations
Architecture, integrations and security
Architecture
- A data model for items, bills of materials, work orders and stock
- Shop-floor screens designed for tablets and barcode scanning
- Scheduled background jobs for planning runs and reports
Integrations
- ERP and accounting systems
- Barcode and RFID scanners
- Machine data, where equipment exposes it
- Supplier ordering by email or portal
Security
- Access by plant and by function
- An audit trail for stock adjustments and quality records
- Office systems kept on a separate network from shop-floor equipment
Services
Services we bring to this sector
Enterprise & Custom Software
ERP, CRM, inventory and workflow systems that put an organization on one reliable source of truth.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Has Codexaara published a manufacturing case study?
Not yet. Manufacturing is a solution area where we build inventory, bill of materials and workflow systems, described here as a capability.
Can you integrate with machines or an existing ERP?
Integration depends on what interfaces those systems offer. We assess this during discovery and tell you what is realistic.
