Where to start

Flōware Factory

Flōware Factory is for manufacturers: bills of materials, production orders and quality holds. Every finished batch gets a label as it comes off the line.

We set Flōware up around how your business works. You don't change how you work to fit the software. You add to Flōware as you grow.

On the floor

Every delivery, move and pick is scanned where it happens.

Each zone has its own scanners, printers and screens.

  1. 01

    Receiving bay

    Every delivery is scanned in against the order. Every box gets a label.

  2. 02

    Inventory stores

    Stock lives in a named bin. Every move and every stocktake is scanned.

  3. 03

    Staging area

    Each production order takes its stock from a named staging bay.

  4. 04

    Machines & assembly

    Production orders use up the raw materials and book what was made. A quality hold stops a batch from moving.

What's included

The software and hardware that connect your floor to the office

Every business gets stock, sales and purchasing. Manufacturers also get production orders, quality holds and the scanning app.

The software

Inventory
Stock by warehouse, zone and bin, with transfers, stocktakes and units of measure.
Sales
Quotes, sales orders and customer price lists. A discount over your limit needs a second person to approve it.
Purchasing
Purchase orders, goods receipts and supplier certificates.

For manufacturers

Manufacturing
Bills of materials, production orders and work in progress on the factory floor.

Warehouse scanning app

A barcode scanning app for the floor: receive deliveries, pick orders, move stock between bins and count stock on a handheld scanner.

Runs on the handheld scanner.

Often added

Lot, batch and serial tracking
Know which batch went where, from the dock to the customer. Stock that expires first gets picked first. A recall takes one step.
Accounting integration
Invoices, supplier bills and stock adjustments post straight into your cloud accounting software.

The hardware

This is the kit for one site. We specify and supply it on its own itemised quote. You can use your own instead if it passes a compatibility check.
