[ Software the shop floor will actually use ]
Production, inventory, quality and maintenance for manufacturers. The system is used by people with dirty hands next to a machine, and if data entry takes longer than the job it will not happen.

Tell us what your floor records on paper todayScan, tap, done. If recording production takes longer than a minute it gets written on paper and entered badly at the end of the shift, or not at all.
Batch and lot linked through production to the finished goods that left. In a recall or a customer complaint this is the only thing that answers the question.
Raw material, work in progress and finished goods with issue, consumption and return recorded where they happen rather than reconstructed monthly.
Tally or your ERP stays the financial system. Production data flows to it rather than replacing it, which is what makes adoption possible.
Job cards, stage-wise production entry, work-in-progress visibility and output against plan, captured at the machine.
Raw material, WIP and finished goods with batch and lot traceability from receipt through production to dispatch.
Inspection plans, rejection with cause, rework tracking, plus preventive maintenance schedules and breakdown logging.
Watch the actual process — where material moves, where it waits, who records what and on which register. The paper trail shows you the real system.
Bills of material, operations, work centres and yield. Getting the BOM right is what makes consumption and costing believable.
Barcode or QR at each stage, large-target screens on shared tablets, and offline capture because a shop floor rarely has reliable wifi.
Job cards, production entry, rejection with reason, rework and inspection results tied to the batch they belong to.
Purchase, consumption, production and dispatch pushed to Tally or the ERP so the accounts and the floor agree without re-keying.
Output against plan, rejection rate by cause, machine downtime, material consumption against BOM and cost per unit produced.
Manufacturing systems fail on adoption rather than on features. The person recording production has a machine to run, and if the software takes longer than writing on a register, the register wins — and then the data in the system is wrong, which is worse than having no system.
So the design constraint is seconds per entry. Barcode scanning, large targets, defaults that are usually right, and offline capture because factory wifi is unreliable. Get that right and the traceability, costing and quality reporting follow; get it wrong and none of them are trustworthy.
Every extra tap is a reason to use paper instead. Capture speed is the feature that decides whether the system has real data in it.
When a customer complains or a batch is recalled, you need the chain from raw material to dispatch immediately.
Tally or your ERP stays the financial record. Production data flows into it — that is how these projects get accepted.
Rugged shared tablets at work centres became affordable, which moved data capture to where the work happens rather than to an office at shift end.
Larger buyers now ask suppliers for batch traceability as a condition. It has moved from good practice to a commercial necessity.
For manufacturers who want an integrated system rather than several, a configured Odoo often beats a bespoke build — and we will say so.
Only if entry takes seconds. We design for barcode scanning, large targets on shared tablets, minimal typing and offline capture, and we measure entry time during the pilot. If a task takes longer than the paper equivalent, we change the design rather than the training.
