The shop floor · Manufacturing

BooneMFG

Materials, orders, and visibility tied together from BOM to shipment.

Forge the plan. Run the floor.

Manufacturing-minded controls without drowning in heavyweight MRP overhead.

  • Built for shop-floor execution where materials, work orders, and delivery commitments need to stay in sync.
  • Track inventory with production context so teams know what is available, allocated, and short.
  • Coordinate jobs from order to completion with practical scheduling and fulfillment visibility.
  • Keep costs and operations aligned for stronger margins and fewer manual reconciliations.

Built for the Shop, Not a Spreadsheet

Practical manufacturing and production controls for teams that need real execution visibility.

Production Workflow

Track jobs through production steps so teams can see progress and bottlenecks in real time.

Materials & Inventory

Monitor on-hand and allocated materials to reduce shortages and improve planning confidence.

Work Orders

Create and manage work orders with clear line-level tracking from start to completion.

Order-to-Fulfillment

Keep sales orders connected to production and delivery status for better customer commitments.

Delivery Coordination

Schedule outbound flow and confirm completion so finished goods reach customers on time.

Operational Reporting

Review throughput, open jobs, and fulfillment performance with reporting teams can act on.

Quote Management

Build and track customer quotes with line-item detail, convert to jobs in one step, and compare estimated versus actual costs at close.

Job Costing

Capture material, labor, and overhead costs against each job so margins are visible before the invoice goes out — not discovered during month-end close.

Work Center Management

Define and configure each work center — machine groups, labor pools, capacity limits — so the schedule reflects real shop constraints rather than theoretical availability.

Scenario Scheduling (Gantt)

Model alternative schedules before committing — drag jobs across work centers, compare scenarios side by side, and lock the plan that best hits your due dates.

KPI Dashboard

Surface on-time delivery, work-in-progress value, open quote conversion, and cost variance on a single screen so decisions are driven by current shop data.

Workflow Engine

Route approvals, flag exceptions, and trigger notifications automatically — so quote approvals, job releases, and quality holds follow a defined process every time.

CRM & Contacts

Maintain a unified record of customers, vendors, and key contacts — with job history, open quotes, and communication notes accessible from the same profile.

Activity & Audit Trail

Every status change, cost update, and user action is logged with a timestamp so supervisors and auditors can trace exactly what happened on any job.

How We Stack Up

Scores reflect common buyer-facing positioning (not an exhaustive RFP matrix). Yes = clearly advertised or widely accepted strength; Partial = varies by edition, add-on, or configuration; No = not a marketed advantage; Unclear = insufficient public detail.
