Neartu is a dedicated program for Manufacturers
We are passionate about providing the manufacturing trade with the most versatile software program to manage all their processes. We have created a tool to convey sales, purchasing, accounts, engineering and inspection from one place providing efficiency throughout.
This enables you to generate build sheets, create user configurable quotations and integrate planning within various departments.
How It Works
In advance of generating a quote, the user sets up templates for the core components of the product build. Basic information can be entered as default and later changed. Technical information is managed in house and the configuration detailing what can be built and sold is completed before a quote is ever created.
The user creating the quote simply selects the pre configured option for the clients need. Ambiguity starts to be removed from the build at the start of the sales process.
The system allows the user to start gathering all the information needed to build the product at the quotation stage. Once a quotation is accepted and converted to an order a large portion of the information needed to build the product is already available from the sales process.
Sales can build a detailed technical quotation that captures all the client requirements with the added advantage of ensuring the planned build is technically possible before engineering have to get involved.
The quotation document will eventually become a technical build sheet that can be used to manage all information required for the build.
An individual technical build sheet will be created automatically for each item on the quotation when the order is accepted, saving time on what was previously a labour-intensive process.
Once the build sheet has been created Engineers can log and view drawings (where drawing software allows). Additional technical information can be added by the engineers based on the bill of materials and the drawings created.
Engineering can add and view the drawings making them easily accessible for all parties in the build process.
The build sheet / technical spec will follow the product through each stage of production, ensuring requirements are available for all linked departments.
Planning
Once an order has been accepted each build is added to the planner and available to all company departments. Purchasing will know when and what needs ordered. Credit control know what needs to be chased. Sales can keep the client up to date with how their build is progressing. Management can oversee all the functionality in the workshop. Live production changes are transparent for all departments.
This planner can be used by sales to keep customers updated with predicted delivery.
It can be used by Purchasing to estimate what is to be ordered and when.
It can be used to ensure the correct workforce is in place to meet the production demands (capacity).
Inspection
As the product rolls out of each stage of development it can be inspected for compliance with the build sheet/technical spec.
The user sets up an initial template for the inspection. Once created this can be adapted to suit particular builds. Control of the data is in the hands of the user. Sub Contractor information can be added and a full audit provided for Quality Control.
