Industries
Rail buyers are public bodies and large operators, and they procure slowly and document heavily. For a supplier of thirty people that means an order with a long horizon, a fixed specification and a requirement to prove conformity per component years after delivery. The traceability record is not a nice extra in that relationship, it is part of what was sold. Alibera logs every change to a record with user and timestamp, plans the production against the bill of material, and keeps permissions scoped so the contract documentation is not editable by everyone.
01In this category
Every process below runs on the same core system. The differences show up in configuration, in which modules you switch on, and in what gets integrated.
02What it has to do
The capabilities below are the ones that come up first in discovery calls with companies in this category.
01
Every login, change and deletion is logged with the user name, a timestamp and a description of the action. It is a core feature rather than a paid extra, so when a customer asks who changed a quantity or a specification, there is an answer.
02
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.
03
Permissions by role, department and location, with inheritance, and two factor authentication on by default in the cloud. A separate staging environment lets you test a change before it reaches production.
03Where to go next
Three pages cover most of what gets asked after this one.
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.
