Access FactoryMaster key features
Material requirements planning
FactoryMaster automatically calculates what to make, when to make it and what materials you’ll need. Multi-level bills of materials, lead time management and minimum order quantities are handled effortlessly, giving you confidence in your production planning.
Production scheduling
Optimise your shop floor with intelligent scheduling that considers capacity, priorities and dependencies. Drag-and-drop functionality makes rescheduling simple, while ‘what-if?’ analysis helps you evaluate different scenarios before committing resources.

Connect your office to the shop floor with real-time production updates. Track job progress, record material use and capture quality data at source, giving everyone accurate information for better decisions.
Sales order processing
Manage your customer orders efficiently from enquiry through to dispatch. Available-to-promise functionality gives accurate delivery dates, while order tracking keeps your customers informed and your team coordinated.
Quality management
