Every handover is a re-key.
Stores, planning and QA enter the same lot, batch and record into their own systems, and reconcile them later.
• ERP + MES + QMS
ERP, MES and QMS on one database. A decision in one product controls what can happen in the others.
Start with one product. Connect the rest when ready.
Create the material record once.
The receipt opens sampling and retains supplier, lot and location.
The problem
Purchase, production and quality each keep their own records. Every handover between them is a re-key, a reconciliation or a chase.
Stores, planning and QA enter the same lot, batch and record into their own systems, and reconcile them later.
QA puts a lot on hold. Stores, planning and dispatch find out by email, if they find out at all.
Inspectors walk through three records and the middleware between them. So does every upgrade.
Close the gaps between systems
Five things you only get when purchase, production and quality share one record.
01 / Lot genealogy
A supplier lot carries its receipt, test, dispensing, batches and dispatches on one record. Recall reach is a view, not a project.
Search a supplier lot, batch or dispatch and see the whole path, backward and forward.
Receipt from ERP, test from QMS and dispensing from MES, on the same record.
See the batches, customers and stock a recall touches, before the call ends.
02 / One hold
When QC holds a lot, stores, planning and sales see it in the same second. No email, no interface, no sync.
Stores cannot issue held stock, and its bins are locked.
Planned batches that need the lot are flagged in MES before dispensing starts.
Orders that depend on it are marked at risk, with the reason attached.
03 / Batch costing
Prices from purchase meet actual consumption from the floor, so batch costing is a report, not a month-end spreadsheet.
Every material is costed at the rate it was bought at.
Dispensed and reconciled quantities, not the BOM standard.
Price and usage variance against plan, batch by batch.
04 / Plant view
Sales, purchase, production and quality on one dashboard, so a delay shows up at its cause, not where it lands.
OTIF, OEE and readiness, read from the same record.
Each late batch points to the step and the team holding it.
Overdue work opens with the record attached.
05 / One validation
Inspectors walk through one append-only, hash-chained audit trail and one validation package, instead of three systems and the interfaces between them.
Every change in ERP, MES and QMS, with who, when, why, and the value before and after.
URS, risk assessment, IQ, OQ and PQ for one system, not three plus their interfaces.
An upgrade changes one system, so there are no interfaces to revalidate.
Under the hood
Twelve modules across ERP, MES and QMS, on one record.
From enquiry and feasibility to invoice, payment and credit note.
Requests, orders and receipts, from qualified vendors only.
Every lot from receipt to dispatch, sampled and released on the way.
Zones, racks and bins, with their capacity and conditions.
Plans from sales orders, checked against material and capacity.
Approved plans, run step by step on the electronic batch record.
Work centres and equipment, with runtime, calibration and cleaning.
Formulation trials, proven by three passing runs in a row.
Quality events, CAPA and release, each held until its conditions are met.
SOPs written and approved in the app, shown wherever they apply.
Courses, quizzes and a competency matrix that gates regulated work.
A full LIMS: instruments, standards and validation behind every result.
Every task, approval and conversation, with nothing chased by hand.
Master data for every module, under change control.
Controls for each regulated category, on the same records and workflows.
Moments that matter
Five situations where separate systems stall and one record does not.
Available-to-promise counts released stock only, so the promise matches what QC has approved.
Genealogy runs from supplier lot through every batch to dispatch. From one record, ready before the call ends.
Purchase prices meet actual floor consumption, so costing is a report, not a month-end spreadsheet.
Stores, planning and dispatch see the hold the moment the lab records it. Nobody chases anyone’s inbox.
One audit trail and one validation package, instead of three systems and the interfaces between them.
Who it is for
Each role opens Factro on its own screen, with the evidence it needs to act.
01 / Who it is for
See the whole plant in one place.
OTIF, OEE and readiness in one place
Batch cost against plan
Delays traced to where they started
02 / Who it is for
Grow without adding systems.
One subscription for every product and module
Industry packs and new modules included
No integration project to fund
03 / Who it is for
Walk inspectors through one system.
One append-only audit trail
One validation package
Evidence captured with the batch
04 / Who it is for
Follow every material movement across the operation.
Receipts and supplier standing
Released material for planned batches
Orders at risk when a lot is held
05 / Who it is for
Connect the floor to the rest of the plant.
Material readiness on the plan
Stage progress and quality holds
Delays visible to every department
06 / Who it is for
Batch cost based on the work that happened.
Price from purchase, quantity from dispensing
Yield from reconciliation
Variance against plan, batch by batch
07 / Who it is for
One system to govern and support.
One access model across the plant
Controlled integrations and audit history
One validated record, not three copies
Before you start
Start with the operation you have. Agree the controls and connections you need.
Talk to our teamNo. Start with the one that hurts most. When you add the others, they join the same record, with no migration and no interface to build.
No. If SAP runs your finance, procurement and reporting, it stays. Factro puts execution on the floor, a quality system that gates rather than reminds, and posts back to your ERP.
One database for all three products. A QC hold in QMS stops issue in stores and the planned batch in MES straight away, because there is nothing to synchronise.
You validate one system with one audit trail, instead of three systems and the interfaces between them. We provide documentation to support your validation.
No. One plant runs one Factro. Industry packs add the controls each category needs on top of the same record.
One subscription covers every product, module and regulatory pack, including new ones as they ship. You start paying when you start using it.
