Manufacturing
Run the commercial side of the factory on one system.
Stock across warehouses, quotations that survive three revisions, challans for goods going out for job work, sourcing with a record behind it — and the accounts and people behind all of it. Switch on the add-ons you need and leave the rest.
This is the commercial and administrative side of a manufacturing business. GetBizApps is not a shop-floor execution system: there is no machine-level production scheduling, no MES, and no direct capture from PLCs or machine controllers. What it does cover is everything the office does around production.
Why manufacturing businesses run on it
One record from enquiry to dispatch
A quotation becomes a sales order, the order becomes a challan, the challan becomes the invoice. Nothing gets retyped at the handover, which is where the quantities usually change.
Stock you can quote against
Quotations pull products from warehouse inventory with stock checked as the line is added, so a promise to a customer is made against what is actually on the rack.
Paperwork that settles arguments
Challans record partial dispatches, stock adjustments carry their documentation and approval, and quotation revisions keep every earlier version. Six months later the record is still there.
Only the modules you run
Pricing is per add-on, per user, per term. A factory that needs inventory, quotations and dispatch is not paying for a recruitment module it will never open.
Stock
Stock counted per warehouse, and valued properly.
Raw material in one store, work in progress in another, finished goods in a third. A single blended total tells you the stock exists somewhere, which is not the same as knowing you can ship the order.
Multi-warehouse stock
Quantities are held per warehouse rather than as one figure, so the question is not whether you have the part but whether you have it where the order is being filled from.
Reorder alerts
Set the level at which a component counts as low and get told. A line stopping for a five-rupee fastener is a replenishment failure, not a supply problem.
Maximum stock levels
A ceiling per product stops over-ordering from quietly parking working capital in the warehouse where it cannot be spent.
Adjustments with approval
Scrap, rework and recounts are all adjustments. Each one carries its documentation and goes through an approval step, so a changed stock figure has a reason and a name attached.
FIFO, LIFO or weighted average
Cost of goods sold is calculated by the method you actually use and updates as purchases and sales post, rather than being reconstructed at year end.
Valuation by location
Stock valuation reports break down by method and by warehouse, so you can see which site is holding the value rather than reading one consolidated number.
Before GetBizApps, checking stock across warehouses meant asking several people for updates. Inventory gives our purchasing team a shared view of stock levels and a better starting point for purchasing decisions.
Enquiry to order
Quotations that remember every revision.
Industrial quoting is iterative. The price moves, the specification moves, and three weeks later the customer asks about the version before last. That should be a lookup, not an archaeology exercise in somebody's sent items.
Revision control
Changes are kept as versions in a parent-child relationship with automatic numbering, so the original quotation is never overwritten by the one that replaced it.
Compare and roll back
Put two versions side by side to see exactly what changed, and restore an earlier one when the customer decides the second revision was the right one after all.
Priced from live stock
Products are selected from warehouse inventory with the unit price populated and stock checked as you build the quote.
Multi-rate tax and discounts
Each line carries its own price, discount and tax configuration, which is what a quotation with mixed goods and services actually needs.
Approval before it leaves
Draft, sent, accepted, rejected — with an approval step before a quotation reaches the customer, so a discount is signed off rather than discovered.
Straight into the invoice
An accepted quotation converts into a sales invoice with its data carried across in full, so the billing matches the offer that was agreed.
Quotation and Sales help us keep customer enquiries, revised quotes, and orders organised. When a customer asks about an earlier offer, our team can follow the record instead of searching through email attachments.
Dispatch
Goods leave the gate with the right document.
Plenty of what leaves a factory is not a sale yet — material out for plating, tooling out on approval, a partial consignment against a larger order. All of it needs to be documented as it goes.
Challan against the order
Raise the challan from the order it fulfils, so the dispatch and the commitment behind it stay connected instead of living as two unrelated documents.
Job work and approval dispatches
Send goods out for processing or on approval under a challan, so stock that has left the premises without being sold is still on the record.
Partial dispatch, recorded
Item and quantity lines state exactly what went, which turns a part-shipment into a recorded fact rather than a disagreement at the month end.
Dispatch and delivery details
When the goods left, how they are travelling, where they are going and whether they arrived — held on the document that travels with them.
Billed from what shipped
A challan carries through to the invoice, so billing follows the consignment that actually went out rather than being retyped from the order.
Challan register
Every challan searchable in one place — what went out, to whom, and against which order — without going through a physical file.
GetBizApps gives our dispatch team a consistent way to prepare delivery challans. Having Inventory and dispatch paperwork within the same suite makes daily coordination easier.
Sourcing
Supplier selection with a record behind it.
A vendor decision made over three phone calls and a forwarded email is a decision nobody can review later. Procurement runs the whole request-for-quote process in one place, and leaves the reasoning behind.
RFx with real line items
Build a request for quote or proposal with as many purchase items as it needs, added line by line rather than squeezed into an attachment.
Vendor portal
Suppliers browse your published opportunities on a front-end portal and apply there, so sourcing reaches beyond the three vendors already in the address book.
Bids and documents in one place
Applicants answer the questions you set, upload their documents and submit a pricing bid, which makes responses comparable instead of arriving in six different shapes.
Rate and shortlist
Score each application and move it through stages, so a shortlist is a recorded position rather than a conversation somebody half-remembers.
Interviews tracked
Schedule and track supplier interviews, each with a pending, confirmed or cancelled status against the application it belongs to.
Onboarded as a vendor
Take the selected applicant through to the vendor list, so the supplier you chose becomes a record you can raise a purchase against.
Procurement has helped us organise supplier requests and vendor onboarding. There is a clearer process to follow, and we spend less time piecing together information from different files.
How work moves
Document the handover, then assign it.
Most delays in a factory office are not inside a department, they are between two of them. Mapping the process shows where the work stops; task management gives the next step an owner and a date.
Workflow builder
Set out an internal process step by step — where it begins, where it ends, and what happens in between — as a record rather than an understanding.
A name on every stage
Assign a responsible role or team member to each step, which is usually enough on its own to expose the stage nobody actually owns.
Flowchart view
See the process drawn out rather than listed. Loops and gaps are obvious in a chart and easy to miss in a paragraph.
Progress while it is live
Watch where a process has reached as it moves, so a stalled step is visible while it is still stalled rather than at the review afterwards.
Handover notifications
The people involved are notified as work reaches their stage, so a handover does not depend on somebody remembering to mention it.
Tasks with an owner and a date
Every task carries a named owner, a due date, a priority and a status, viewable as a board or a list, with the discussion kept on the task itself.
We use Business Process Mapping to document how work moves between teams, then Task Management to assign the next steps. GetBizApps has made our process reviews more practical because everyone can see where responsibility sits.
The month in numbers
Reporting you stop rebuilding by hand.
The figures a factory reviews every month are the same figures every month. Once stock, purchasing, sales and payroll are in one system, the report is a view rather than a rebuild.

Illustrative view — figures are examples, not customer data.
Whole-business overview
Finance, sales, HR, inventory and operations on one screen, so performance is read across the business rather than department by department.
Profit and margin, properly
True profit and margin for any period, rather than a revenue figure that quietly hides what it cost to earn.
Product stock report
Available stock, quantity and value by product, with out-of-stock items highlighted rather than left to be noticed.
Purchase invoice report
Supplier bills, amounts paid and pending dues, filtered by vendor, warehouse or month, so what is falling due next is visible now.
Cash position
Money in and money out with enough forward visibility to see a shortfall while there is still time to do something about it.
Attendance and payroll sheets
Presence, overtime and net pay per employee, filterable by branch and department, for checking a run before it goes out.
Whichever modules you run
What holds true across the platform.
These are not add-ons you switch on. They are how the Suite behaves once any of it is running.
Switch on what you need
Every capability on this page is an add-on. Start with stock and quotations, add procurement when sourcing gets serious, and leave the rest switched off.
Branch and warehouse scoping
Reports and records filter by branch and warehouse throughout, so a plant manager reads their own site rather than the group total.
Approvals where they matter
Stock adjustments and outgoing quotations both carry an approval step, so the two places where a number can quietly change are the two places somebody signs.
Audit trail with names on it
Modification history with timestamps and user attribution, which is the difference between knowing a figure changed and knowing who changed it.
Documents with access control
Drawings, certificates and supplier paperwork in folders with document types and controlled access, attached to the record they belong to.
Mobile apps
Several modules have companion mobile apps, so a stock check or a task update does not have to wait for somebody to reach a desk.
AI assistant
Drafting and summarising inside the workflow, with your team reviewing the wording before it goes anywhere.
Payments and integrations
Payment gateways, calendars, messaging and storage connect as add-ons, so the tools already in use around the factory stay in use.

FAQ
Manufacturing questions, answered.
It is a modular business platform covering the commercial and administrative side of manufacturing — inventory across warehouses, quotations and sales orders, dispatch documentation, procurement, accounting, HR and reporting. It is not a shop-floor execution system: there is no machine-level production scheduling, no MES, and no direct capture from PLCs or machine controllers.
Yes. Inventory holds quantities per warehouse rather than as one combined figure, with reorder points and maximum stock levels set per product, and stock valuation reports that break down by warehouse as well as by valuation method.
Yes. Delivery Challan covers dispatches that are not sales — goods sent out for job work or on approval — so material that has left the premises without being invoiced is still documented, with the challan linked back to its order and forward to the invoice when one is raised.
Cost of goods sold is calculated by FIFO, LIFO or weighted average, and updates automatically as purchases and sales post. Stock valuation reports break down by method and by location.
Pricing is per add-on, per user and per term, so it depends on which modules you switch on and how many people use them. A factory running inventory, quotations, dispatch and accounting pays for those four rather than for a full suite licence.
