What is an MRP software app?

Manufacturing software might go by different names, like manufacturing ERP software, MRP software, or production planning software, but it all works toward the same goal – improving efficiency in every area of your business. From development through to distribution, manufacturing software works with Xero to enhance processes, reduce costs, and help you take control of your operations from accounting right to your shop floor. 

What are the benefits of manufacturing apps?

  • Production efficiency: Track production details from start to finish and find areas of improvement within internal processes and systems. Have the tools on hand to make adjustments and be proactive about manufacturing operations. 

  • Decrease costs: Decrease costs by reducing downtime, minimising unproductive work on tasks that can be automated, and tracking materials and components with better accuracy to avoid inventory waste.

  • Increased manufacturing visibility: Get a big picture view of your entire operation with the help of  manufacturing apps. Bring together production, accounting, sales, marketing, purchasing, and more into a single software solution.

What are the typical features I can use with manufacturing and production software?

  • Inventory management: Track all inventory and organise storage in the shop or warehouse so all materials can be easily found. Monitor levels of inventory to place orders before you run out to decrease downtime. 

  • Shop floor management: Manage the shop floor with tools for scheduling, work in progress, product workflows, machine maintenance, and more. Maximise employee efficiency and forecast maintenance costs by syncing your data with Xero accounting software for better financial management.

  • Stock movement and sales reports: Get stock transactions, bills and expenses directly updated in your Xero account. Gain visibility into stock profit and loss to strategically plan your manufacturing focuses while tracking and syncing sales data in multiple locations.

  • Supply chain management: Keep track of vendor and supplier costs and timelines, and monitor all steps in your supply chain process, from sourcing to delivery. 

How manufacturing apps work with Xero

Create efficiencies at every point of your production with manufacturing software apps that integrate directly with your Xero account.  Designed to bring visibility to all points of your supply chain, no matter the size of your business, connecting a manufacturing app with Xero can allow you to: 

  • Gain visibility into your stock sale movements from cost of sale to profit and loss and balance sheet reports, from directly within Xero

  • Automatically receive expenses for payment and reconciliation within Xero as soon as you receive items from suppliers

  • Update outstanding payments for customers and set credit limits that immediately sync to customer accounts in Xero and reflect in owed invoices
