ERP for plants that manufacture for someone else.
You are juggling products, customers, and quality rules that do not belong to a single brand. ShiftERP is the system for that plant, not for a factory that only makes its own SKUs.
Contract manufacturing is a different job.
The software has to hold more than one customer’s process at a time, and it has to do it without turning every new account into a consulting engagement.
Several product families
Different processes, equipment, and quality rules, often in the same week and sometimes on the same line.
Quality documentation
Each customer has their own standard. The audit trail has to match that customer, not a generic plant template.
Capacity you already promised
Commitments land on shared resources. You need to see the pinch before it becomes a missed ship date.
What the customer can see
Customers want status. You need to share it without handing them the rest of the plant.
What goes into the system.
Planning, quality, customer rules, and lot history are the same product because that is how the work is connected on the floor.
Production planning
Capacity-aware scheduling that respects constraints, so bottlenecks show up on the board instead of on Friday afternoon.
Quality management
Holds, inspections, and attachments, with quality profiles that can differ by customer.
Customer workflows
Configure the process per customer. Same platform, different rules, without a custom build for each account.
Lot history
Trace a lot from raw materials to finished goods when an auditor or a customer asks.
EDI
EDIStack for order flow with retail and CPG customers, sitting on the same production data.
Customer analytics
Profitability by customer, product, and process, from the work you already ran.
Weeks, not an 18-month program.
The workflows are already in the product. Implementation is configuration, data, and training, not a rebuild of manufacturing software.
- Configured for contract manufacturing from the start, not adapted later
- Typical deployment in 4-6 weeks
- A dedicated implementation team
- Training and ongoing support in the subscription
- Customer-specific rules without a custom development project
01 · Week 1-2
Discovery and setup
We learn how the week actually runs and configure the system around it.
02 · Week 2-4
Data in
Customers, products, and inventory come across. The board starts to look like your plant.
03 · Week 4-5
Training
The people who will use it every day get time on the real screens, not a slide deck.
04 · Week 5-6
Go live
The plant runs on it, with us still on the call until it settles.
See it against your customers and lines.
A useful walkthrough uses your products and the way you actually sequence a week, not a generic manufacturing demo.
