What production tracking software should include
- Bill of materials (BOM): raw material and semi-finished goods lists that change with dimensions and variants
- Work order: work orders generated automatically from sales orders, with a defined workstation sequence
- MRP: raw material requirements and purchase suggestions based on open orders
- Workstation tracking: real-time progress as the QR code on the job traveler is scanned at each workstation
- Scrap and quality: inspection forms, scrap quantities and deviation analysis
- Stock: raw material consumption, semi-finished and finished goods stock
- Cost: true product cost including raw materials, labor and scrap
- Planning: capacity view with kanban, daily plan and Gantt
Off-the-shelf software vs. custom production tracking software
Off-the-shelf programs work with generic BOM and stock logic; they cannot handle BOMs that change with dimensions, your workstation sequence, your approval flow or your pricing rules. Custom production tracking software is built after an on-site review of your facility; your existing product and customer/supplier account data is imported, and it integrates with your accounting software.
Reference: Mobilesse Mobilya production system
In the system I developed for Mobilesse Mobilya, which manufactures in İnegöl OSB, the BOM, raw material requirements and production plan are generated automatically the moment an order is approved; job travelers are scanned by QR code at workstations, quality and scrap are recorded, and shipping is completed with a delivery note and label. Details: furniture ERP software.
Machine data and automation connectivity
Production tracking does not have to be limited to manual entry: production counts and downtime data can be read from PLCs, OEE can be calculated automatically, and program files can be sent to CNC machines with DNC Box. For this layer, see the manufacturing automation software developer page.

Frequently asked questions
What is production tracking software?
It is software that monitors the bill of materials, work orders, workstation-level production progress, scrap, stock and cost in one system.
How is work order tracking done?
The QR code on the job traveler of a work order created from a sales order is scanned at each workstation; the stage of every work order is visible in real time.
Can BOMs that change with dimensions be managed?
Yes. BOMs that vary by dimensions, color and variant are defined; when an order is approved, raw material requirements are calculated automatically.
Which industries is it suitable for?
It can be configured for furniture, metalworking, textiles, food, electronics assembly and any manufacturer producing to order.
Does it work with my existing accounting software?
Yes. Customer/supplier accounts, invoices and stock data are integrated with your accounting software via API or file transfer.
How is it set up?
Your facility is reviewed on site, the system is adapted to your product and workstation structure, existing data is migrated and training is provided at your facility.
