Quote-to-Production ERP

Custom fabrication · UAE · 80–200 people

Unified commercial, operations, and finance into one execution architecture.

Re-enacted: a job on the shop-floor schedule after rebalancing, with its finance read-out beside it

Context

The company operated with strong craft capability but disconnected systems, managing sales, execution, and reporting in parallel tools. Leadership needed one operating model linking commercial commitments to execution capacity and financial outcomes.

Order commitments and production planning were not synchronised in real time
Cross-functional status reporting required manual reconciliation
Finance and operations lacked a shared view of execution risk

Outcome

Order-to-release stopped waiting on manual reconciliation between functions
Finance and operations read the same execution risk from the same place
Schedule predictability and exception handling both improved

An accepted quote becomes an order, lands on the shop-floor schedule, a capacity clash is rebalanced, and finance reads the same job — re-enacted, not the client's system

What we built

First the target operating architecture — ownership boundaries, data contracts, and which function gets released in what order. Sequencing was the hard part, not the software.

Then integrated workflows across quoting, scheduling, execution, inventory, and finance, with automation shaped to each role rather than one generic flow.

Then monitoring cadences, SOPs, and onboarding playbooks, so system behaviour stayed stable after rollout.

What stuck

Commercial and operations teams aligned around shared execution data
Leadership moved from lagging reports to live operational visibility
Process consistency improved across departments and shifts
