Connect production, costing, and quality in one intelligent workflow.
Manage bills of materials, production orders, job costing, and quality control — all connected to your live financials. Get real-time visibility into production costs, margins, materials, and profitability before goods leave the shop floor.
Orchestrate smarter, more responsive manufacturing operations.
The Manufacturing Assistant brings together AI agents, people, processes, and production goals to coordinate execution, provide real-time guidance, and support faster decisions. Balance production priorities, workforce capacity, and operational performance — all in one intelligent system.
Bill of Materials — Track every cost from raw material to finished goods.
An accurate bill of materials is the foundation of manufacturing cost control. If your BOM is wrong, your standard costs are wrong, your inventory valuation is wrong, and your gross margins are wrong. I-ERP’s BOM module supports multi-level structures with unlimited levels of sub-assemblies, version control with effective dates, and automatic cost rollup. When raw material prices change, the impact on finished goods cost is calculated automatically.
Multi-Level BOMs
Manage unlimited sub-assembly levels for complex products
Version Control
Track BOM versions, effective dates, and engineering changes.
Automatic Cost Rollup
Calculate production costs from raw materials to finished goods.
BOM Comparison
Compare versions and instantly understand the cost impact of changes.
Job Costing Know your true production cost — in real time.
Standard costing shows what production should cost. Job costing shows what it actually costs. Infocom X-ERP tracks material consumption, labour hours, and machine time against every production order, giving you real-time visibility into cost variances and profitability.
- Track Actual Costs — Capture materials, labour, and machine costs for every production order.
- Monitor Cost Variances — Compare actual costs against standards as production progresses.
- Identify Cost Overruns — Detect inefficiencies early before they impact profitability.
- Improve Production Profitability — Use accurate job-level costing to make faster, better decisions.
Actual Cost Tracking
Track material, labour, and overhead costs for every production order.
Real-Time Cost Variance
Monitor deviations from standard costs as production progresses.
Material Usage Variance
Compare actual material consumption against standard quantities.
Labour Efficiency Variance
Compare actual labour hours against standard production hours.
Quality Control — Built into every production step
Quality control that happens after production is complete is too late. Infocom X-ERP integrates quality inspection checkpoints into the production workflow itself: incoming goods are inspected before they’re accepted into inventory, in-process inspections are triggered at configurable production stages, and finished goods are inspected before they’re transferred to the finished goods warehouse. Non-conformances are tracked with root cause analysis and corrective action workflows.
Incoming Inspection
Inspect goods before accepting them into inventory.
In-Process Inspection
Perform quality checks at configurable production stages.
Finished Goods Inspection
Verify product quality before transfer to the finished goods warehouse
Non-Conformance Management
Track issues with root cause analysis and CAPA workflows.
Capacity Planning — See bottlenecks before they happen
Plan machine and labour capacity against production demand by work centre, shift, and time period. Identify constraints early and make informed decisions on overtime, outsourcing, or rescheduling — while ensuring accurate available-to-promise commitments.
- Capacity Visibility — Monitor machine and labour capacity in real time.
- Bottleneck Detection — Identify capacity constraints before they disrupt production.
- Flexible Planning — Evaluate overtime, outsourcing, and rescheduling options.
- Accurate ATP — Promise sales orders based on actual production capacity.
Machine & Labour Capacity
View capacity by work centre and shift.
Capacity vs. Demand
Monitor capacity against demand across the planning horizon.
Bottleneck Detection
Identify constraints and evaluate resolution options.
Accurate ATP
Calculate available-to-promise based on real production capacity.

Yes. Infocom X-ERP supports MTO, MTS, and CTO manufacturing strategies.
- Make-to-Order (MTO) — Link production directly to specific sales orders.
- Make-to-Stock (MTS) — Plan production using demand forecasts and reorder points.
- Configure-to-Order (CTO) — Capture product configurations at order entry and automatically drive the required BOM and routing.
Calculate accurate product costs from raw materials to finished goods.
Infocom X -ERP automatically rolls up costs through every BOM level:
- Material Cost — Based on standard cost or latest purchase price.
- Labour Cost — Calculated from routing and standard labour rates.
- Overhead Cost — Applied using configured overhead absorption rates.
- Automatic Recalculation — Update costs across all affected finished goods when inputs change.
