Know what you can build — then build it on the floor.
Assemblies, work orders, and shop-floor execution in the same system as your warehouse, channels, and purchasing — so finished goods don't live in a separate spreadsheet from the orders that need them.
30 minutes, tailored to your operation. No commitment.
The essentials.
- Buildable quantity from live component stock
- Work orders that issue materials and update inventory as you produce
- Finished goods that land in the same ledger your channels ship from
From plan to finished goods
Define the assembly
BOM, routing steps, and work centers give every build a recipe and a path — make-to-stock or make-to-order.
Plan & release work
Replenishment creates planned work orders for stock builds; release when materials and capacity are ready. Shortages put the job on hold.
Execute on the floor
Operators pick components, run operations, pass QC, and complete units — finished goods land in the same inventory ledger the warehouse ships from.
What's in the box.
Assemblies & BOMs
Define product recipes with components, quantities, and wastage. Nested components explode for planning when a part is itself an assembly.
Work orders
Release builds, issue or backflush materials, track progress, and complete units into stock.
Planning / MRP
Planned work orders for make-to-stock assemblies from replenishment runs — recommended qty and start dates.
Routings & operations
Multi-step production paths with estimated time; pick matching BOM components at the right step.
Work centers & scheduling
Capacity by work center; see scheduled minutes against daily capacity and spot overloads.
Shop floor
An operator view to run work orders through routing steps and complete production.
Material & production holds
Hold builds short on components; hold make-to-order sales lines until production catches up.
Lots, serials & QC
Lot-aware component picks, output lots and serials when you track them, and QC inspection on routing steps.
Most MRP tools stop at "made." Skuwell keeps going to "shipped."
Manufacturing sits on the same inventory, order, and purchasing backbone as the rest of the operation. When a work order completes, finished goods aren't trapped in a manufacturing silo — they're available to allocate, pick, pack, and rate-shop like any other SKU. When components run short, purchasing already speaks the same language as the floor.

No connectors, no sync jobs — these hand-offs are just the same system doing its job.

Is Skuwell a full MRP like Katana or MRPeasy?
Skuwell manufacturing is built for product brands that assemble or produce and also run multichannel commerce ops. You get BOMs, work orders, planning from replenishment, routings, work centers, scheduling capacity views, and shop floor — connected to warehouse and channels. If your core need is plant-wide discrete MRP, deep MES, or outsourced manufacturing as the center of the product, a manufacturing-first ERP may still fit better.
Does manufacturing share inventory with the warehouse?
Yes. Components and finished goods live in the same inventory ledger — bins, lots, and movements included.
Can sales orders wait on production?
Yes. For make-to-order assemblies, Skuwell can place a production hold and create a work order so the order doesn't fulfill until the build is ready.
Do we need a separate WMS or shipping tool?
No. Manufacturing, warehouse, orders, and shipping are one platform — finished goods complete into the same stock your channels allocate and ship from.
