Custom MRP
Custom MRP
Simple, affordable software that keeps high-mix, low-volume shops on schedule and in control—from quote to ship.
If you run a custom manufacturing shop, these scenarios probably cost you money every day...
You're not alone. Thousands of custom shops live this chaos every day.
But there's a better way.
Custom MRP gives you complete visibility and control over every job in your shop—without the complexity and cost of enterprise systems. See exactly where every job stands. Know what materials you need before you need them. Give your team clear priorities. Answer customer questions with confidence. And finally start quoting based on real costs instead of guesses.
See every job's status in 5 seconds, not 5 phone calls. Dashboard shows you materials picked, processes in progress, and completion percentages—at a glance.
Never start a job without materials ready. Smart picking workflow prevents surprises, tracks what's allocated to which job, and alerts you to shortages before they become emergencies.
Track actual time and costs on every job. Quote your next project based on what the last one really cost you—not guesswork. Know where money is going and stop losing profit to chaos.

Dashboard shows exactly where every job stands—materials picked, processes in progress, completion percentages. Answer customer calls in seconds, not after scrambling through spreadsheets.
Enforce material picking before work starts. Track allocations, support partial picks, and get low-stock alerts. Project-specific inventory auto-hides when jobs complete.
Work Queue shows operators exactly what's next with real-time progress tracking and item-level accountability. No more constant interruptions asking "what should I work on?"
Build templates once for common products with pre-configured materials and processes. Customize only the 20% that's unique—80% of data entry happens automatically.
Processes belong to specific products—"Cut wood for Wall Flat A" vs generic tasks. Track multiple unique products in one work order, each with independent progress.
Group related work orders into projects with multiple milestones. Track start dates, due dates, and ship dates. Perfect for complex customer orders with many components.
Custom MRP is purpose-built for high-mix, low-volume manufacturers. If you make unique products for every customer, this is your system.
Traditional MRP treats all items in an order as one blob. Generic "tasks" that don't tell you what you're actually making.
The Custom MRP Difference:
Processes belong to specific products. "Cut wood for Wall Flat A" vs. "Cut wood for Wall Flat B" are separate, trackable processes. Each product tracks its own progress independently.
Why It Matters:
Crystal clear what you're working on. No confusion between similar items. Perfect for shops making multiple unique pieces per order.
You rebuild every job from scratch. 45 minutes of data entry every time. High error rates. Inconsistency.
The Custom MRP Difference:
Templates pre-configure materials, processes, estimated times, and custom fields. Customize only the 20% that's unique per job. Create work orders in minutes.
Why It Matters:
Massive time savings. Consistency across similar work. New employees can create accurate work orders. Focus on the custom part, not the data entry.
Either they ignore materials completely, or they treat inventory like retail (not manufacturing). No enforcement of picking before work starts.
The Custom MRP Difference:
Formal pick process required before starting work. Partial picking supported (real world: materials trickle in). Allocation tracking prevents double-booking. Project-specific inventory auto-hides when done.
Why It Matters:
Never start work without materials ready. Eliminate duplicate purchases. Know what's allocated where. Handle real-world material flow (not just perfect scenarios).
Project management tools (Monday, Asana) handle timelines but ignore materials, inventory, and shop floor workflows. Traditional MRP handles production but treats projects as afterthoughts with poor milestone tracking.
The Custom MRP Difference:
True integration of both worlds. Group work orders into projects with multiple milestones. Track project-level timelines AND production-level details. Material allocations flow across related work orders. Shop floor sees what they need to do; project managers see overall progress.
Why It Matters:
Custom manufacturers need both. You promise delivery dates to customers (project management) while managing materials and shop floor execution (production management). Custom MRP is purpose-built for this reality.
No months of setup. No complicated training. Your team can be productive in days, not quarters.
Affordable subscription. No setup fees.
That's EXACTLY why we built Custom MRP. Product templates give you a starting point, then you customize the 20% that's unique. The product-centric architecture means every product in your order can be completely different. We handle variety—that's the whole point.
The shop floor view is dead simple: see today's jobs, see today's picks, tap to update status. No passwords required on kiosk mode. Drag-and-drop interface. Training takes under an hour. Your operators will love having clear priorities instead of constant interruptions.
We hear this constantly. Here's why Custom MRP is different: No modules to buy. No consultants required. No 6-month implementation. Product-centric design (not generic manufacturing). Built specifically for high-mix, low-volume shops. You can go live in 5 days with our hands-on onboarding.
Custom MRP is built for shops with 5-50 employees. You're not too small—you're exactly our target customer. If you're juggling multiple custom jobs, you NEED this. The chaos doesn't get better as you grow; it gets worse. Get control now.
You own your data. Export everything to CSV at any time—customers, work orders, materials, time tracking, everything. No lock-in. No hostage situations. Take your data with you.
Your data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Hosted on secure cloud infrastructure with automatic backups. Role-based access controls. Audit trails on critical operations. 99.9% uptime SLA. Your data is safer than local spreadsheets.
Most shop software is built for batch/repetitive manufacturing or generic job shops. Custom MRP is purpose-built for high-mix, low-volume custom manufacturers. Product-centric architecture, templates with 80% automation, item-level tracking, and a workflow specifically designed for one-off custom work. Plus, we're more affordable and faster to implement.
