Run the floor on numbers you can actually trust.
Discrete and process manufacturers come to us with the same problem: the shop floor and the back office run on different versions of the truth. We unify production, inventory, and finance on Dynamics 365 or Odoo — so the schedule, the costing, and the order book finally agree.
Where manufacturing teams lose time and margin.
These are the patterns we find in nearly every discovery. They rarely show up on a balance sheet — they show up as overtime, expedite fees, and a planner who lives in spreadsheets.
Spreadsheet planning
Production schedules live in a planner's head and a fragile workbook. One absence and the line stalls.
Phantom inventory
On-hand counts drift from reality, so you over-buy raw materials and still run out of the part you need.
Costing you can't defend
Standard costs are stale and overhead is allocated by gut feel. Real margin per SKU is anyone's guess.
Quality lives in binders
Non-conformance, CAPA, and traceability sit in paper and email instead of the system of record.
Blind shop floor
Machine status, scrap, and downtime are logged hours late, so the schedule reacts instead of adapting.
Disconnected back office
Procurement, AP, and the GL re-key the same data the floor already captured, with a lag and errors.
Two systems of record, one operating model.
We deploy the ERP that carries production, inventory, and finance, and the CRM that carries the order book and aftermarket. They share one customer, one item, and one source of truth.
ERP for the whole plant.
BOMs, routings, MRP, shop-floor execution, and costing on one platform — wired straight into finance so every move on the floor lands in the ledger.
- Multi-level BOMs, routings, and work-center capacity planning
- MRP and demand planning that respect real lead times
- Lot and serial traceability from receipt to ship
- Actual costing with overhead that ties out to the GL
CRM for the order book.
Quote-to-cash for engineered and configured products, plus field and warranty service — so sales promises what the plant can actually deliver.
- Configure-price-quote for complex, made-to-order products
- Capacity-aware promise dates pulled from the schedule
- Field service, warranty, and spare-parts management
- One account record shared with the ERP
What we put to work first.
The first programs we scope in a manufacturing engagement — chosen because they pay for the build before it finishes.
Finite scheduling
A capacity-aware schedule that reacts to live machine status instead of yesterday's assumptions.
Real-time WIP
Operators clock jobs at the station; WIP, scrap, and yield update the moment work happens.
Lot traceability
Full genealogy from raw lot to finished serial — a recall scoped in minutes, not days.
Margin by SKU
Actual cost rolled up per product, so pricing and product-mix decisions stand on real numbers.
Maintenance & uptime
Preventive schedules and downtime capture that feed OEE dashboards leadership trusts.
Supplier collaboration
Purchase plans, ASNs, and quality scores shared with vendors to cut expedite freight.
The right modules on each platform.
We deploy one platform end to end — never a mix. Here's the module set we configure on each for manufacturers; the discovery call settles which fits your scale.
Senior-led delivery, tuned to your floor.
The same disciplined arc we run everywhere — but the discovery starts on your floor, not in a conference room. The senior consultant who scopes it is the one who builds it.
Walk the floor, map the flow
We trace one product from PO to ship dock, find where data breaks, and leave week one with process maps and a fixed-scope brief.
Design the production model
BOMs, routings, costing rules, and the schedule built against your real items and demand in a working tenant — not in slides.
Pilot one cell, then scale
We prove the model on a single line with the operators who run it, then roll out cell by cell so the plant never goes dark.
Tune against live OEE
60-day hypercare with the consultant who built it: schedule tuning, costing accuracy, and dashboards leadership signs off on.
“Flectic replaced fragmented processes with one operating system our team actually adopted. The rollout was disciplined and the impact was visible within the first quarter.”SARAH HADLEY · COO · DISCRETE MANUFACTURING
Field notes from real rollouts.
MRP that survives a stockout
How to set lead times, safety stock, and reorder logic so your planning engine stops lying to you.
From spreadsheets to a live schedule
A 200-person plant cut expedite freight 24% in one quarter by moving scheduling into the ERP.
Costing you can defend to the board
Why standard costing hides margin, and how actual costing changes the product-mix conversation.
Before you commit to a manufacturing rollout.
Direct answers to the questions manufacturing leaders raise before they greenlight a rollout. If one of these is a dealbreaker, better to surface it on the first call.
No. We pilot on a single cell with its operators, rehearse the cutover in a sandbox, and scale cell by cell during planned windows. Production keeps running while we prove each step.
Both. Recipes, batches, and yield for process; BOMs, routings, and serials for discrete. The platform and configuration follow your operating reality, not a template.
Yes. We integrate shop-floor data capture, PLCs, and existing MES through supported connectors and APIs so the schedule reacts to real status — no double entry.
Most manufacturers see measurable wins in 8–12 weeks — usually inventory accuracy and scheduling confidence first, margin clarity close behind, all verified during hypercare.
The senior consultant you meet on the discovery call. No offshore bench, no handoff to a junior team in week three. The person who walks your floor is the person who builds the system.
Pressure-test your plant's plan in one conversation.
Bring your current state — whatever shape it's in — and we'll map the fastest path from a fragmented floor to one operating system. If we're the wrong fit, we'll say so on the call.
