003Manufacturing Software Development

Manufacturing software development that connects the shop floor to the back office

Webisoft builds manufacturing software around how your plant actually runs: ERP implementation on Odoo, MES tooling, inventory and warehouse tracking, and production planning that reflects real capacity.

Our senior Montreal engineers handle the integrations packaged vendors avoid: machines, scales, scanners, legacy databases, and the spreadsheets your schedulers secretly rely on.

When to bring us in

Signs your plant has outgrown its current software

Manufacturers rarely lack software; they lack software that matches the operation. The signals show up on the floor long before they show up in the financials. Here are the situations where an engagement with us pays for itself:

  1. Production is planned in spreadsheets

    The schedule lives in a workbook only one person understands, and every rush order means rebuilding it by hand. We build planning tools that know your routings, capacity, and material constraints.

  2. Inventory counts never match reality

    The system says one number, the shelf says another, and purchasing splits the difference with safety stock. We build inventory tracking with scanning at every movement, so the count is the truth.

  3. The shop floor is invisible to the office

    Nobody in the front office can answer what is running right now without walking out to look. We build MES tooling that puts live work order and machine status in front of the people planning around it.

  4. Systems don't talk to each other

    The ERP, the accounting package, the machines, and the label printers each live in their own world, stitched together by exports. We build the integrations that turn them into one operation.

  5. Traceability is reconstructed after the fact

    When a customer or auditor asks which lot went into which shipment, someone spends days in binders and spreadsheets. We build lot and serial tracking that answers in seconds.

  6. The ERP no longer fits the operation

    The system that fit at half your size now forces workarounds, or was customized past the point of upgrading. Our Odoo consulting services assess whether to fix, replace, or extend it.

The Webisoft advantage

What our manufacturing software engagements include

(5)
  1. 1

    Manufacturing workflows first

    The system is designed around your routings, BOMs, and shift patterns, not the other way around. Software that fights the floor gets abandoned, so we start by understanding how the floor works.

  2. 2

    Odoo when it fits, custom when it doesn't

    We implement Odoo ERP where its modules cover the need and build custom software where they do not, and we tell you which is which before you spend, because the wrong platform choice costs years.

  3. 3

    Integration with the equipment you own

    Scanners, scales, label printers, PLCs, and the legacy database in the corner all get connected. The value of a manufacturing system is proportional to how much of the operation it can actually see.

  4. 4

    Written, executable deliverables

    Data models, integration maps, and operating procedures are documented so your team can run the system without us, and any future vendor can pick up where we left off.

  5. 5

    Rollouts that don't stop production

    Cutovers are phased and run in parallel with the old process until the numbers reconcile, because a plant cannot pause for a software project. Go-live is an event you schedule, not one you survive.
