ERP for building product manufacturers

Manufacturing for construction is made to measure work on somebody else site programme. The order is a schedule of sizes, the delivery date moves because the building moved, and the material has to arrive in the sequence the fitters need it rather than in the sequence it was made. A production plan that cannot be resequenced without rebuilding it by hand is the usual bottleneck. Alibera drives work orders from the confirmed order, keeps material requirements attached to them, and holds delivery against the same record.

02What it has to do

What these companies need from an ERP

The capabilities below are the ones that come up first in discovery calls with companies in this category.

01

Bills of material and planning

Multi level bills of material with make to order and make to stock planning, so a confirmed order drives the material requirement and the work orders rather than a separate spreadsheet that somebody has to remember to update.

02

Stock that matches reality

Stock, orders, receiving and shipping in one place, with barcode and parcel tracking. Warehouse and logistics systems can be synced one way or both ways depending on what the business actually needs.

03

Talking to the systems you keep

A REST API secured with keys and signed tokens, plus Excel and CSV import and export as standard. Accounting, e-commerce and CRM data can be exchanged through a dedicated interface or through files, whichever is cheaper to maintain.

A discovery call is a conversation about your process, not a scripted product walkthrough. If Alibera is a poor fit for what you make, we will say so on that call.
