You make great products.
Your operational visibility doesn’t match.
Production tracking, inventory management, order processing, and shipping live in separate systems, or worse, separate spreadsheets. You know your margins are tighter than they should be, but you can’t see exactly where the waste is. We build a unified system that tracks every order from purchase to shipment live.
Industry Snapshot
“Your shop floor produces great products. Your front office has no idea what’s happening there until the end of the month.”
Does this sound familiar?
The operational patterns that show up in almost every mid-market manufacturer we audit.
The Shop Floor Is a Black Box
Production status lives in a clipboard or a foreman’s head. Office staff calls the shop floor to ask “where’s order #4421?” and gets an answer that may or may not be accurate. Customers ask for updates and you’re guessing.
Inventory Is Always Wrong
The spreadsheet says you have 400 units of part A. Physical count says 280. Nobody knows where the difference went. You order more than you need. You stock out on things you thought you had.
Quotes Don’t Match Real Costs
You quote a job at $50k. It takes 30% longer than estimated. Material costs were 15% higher. Labor overruns weren’t captured. You find out six weeks later the job made no margin. Not the first time.
Spreadsheet Hell
Production schedule in one spreadsheet. Inventory in another. Orders in a third. Shipping in a fourth. Quality control on paper. Half of them disagree with each other. The office manager spends three days a month reconciling them.
Quality Issues Show Up Too Late
A bad batch makes it through production, through QC, and out the door before anyone catches it. By the time the customer complains, you’ve shipped twelve more of the same problem. There’s no early warning.
Unified systems from shop floor to front office
Purpose-built ERP and production systems for the way your factory actually operates.
Shop Floor Tracking System
Real-time visibility into every work order, every machine, every operator. Your front office knows exactly where every job stands, without calling the floor.
- Work order tracking
- Machine status monitoring
- Real-time production dashboards
Unified ERP & Inventory System
One system for orders, production, inventory, shipping, and billing. Physical inventory and digital records stay in sync. No more spreadsheet reconciliation.
- Real-time inventory tracking
- Multi-location warehousing
- Automated reorder points
Job Costing & Profitability Engine
Every job tracked from quote through production with real labor hours, real material costs, and real overhead. You know which jobs make money, before you bid the next one.
- Real-time job cost tracking
- Quote accuracy analysis
- Margin protection alerts
Quality & Exception Management
Automated QC checkpoints, exception flagging, and early warning systems. Problems get caught on the line, not at the customer.
- Automated QC workflows
- Exception alerting
- Root cause tracking
How We Transform Manufacturing Operations
We walk the shop floor, learn your processes from the inside, and design a system around how your operation actually runs, not around what a software vendor thinks manufacturing should look like.
Floor-to-Office Audit
We walk your shop floor. We watch how work orders flow from intake through production through shipping. We see every spreadsheet, every clipboard, every workaround that’s holding the operation together.
Map the Manufacturing Flow
We document every process: order intake, engineering, purchasing, production planning, shop floor execution, QC, shipping. The Company Brain for your factory.
Design the Unified System
A custom ERP built around your specific manufacturing processes, not a bloated off-the-shelf system that makes you change how you work. You see a working prototype before we build anything.
Phased Rollout
30-90 day MVP, phased by department to minimize disruption. We don’t shut down production to migrate. You run the new system alongside the old until you’re confident, then switch.
What operators say about us
Real quotes from founders and operators we’ve worked with across industries.
“Our volume has doubled as a result of the systems OpsKings put in place. We’re processing around 150,000 orders a month now — up from 60,000 when we started.”
“Once we started really scaling, our processes just couldn’t keep up. OpsKings gave us the clarity and infrastructure to actually grow — without the chaos.”
Frequently asked questions
We already use NetSuite / SAP / Epicor. Do you replace those?
How do you handle shop floor data capture?
What about integration with our existing machines and sensors?
How do you handle compliance (ISO, FDA, etc.)?
We have multiple facilities. Can one system handle them all?
