Manufacturing
Episcript designs, builds and supports Manufacturing Software in Singapore: bills of materials, production orders, scheduling, shop-floor tracking, quality and costing, with AI we build in to read supplier documents, forecast demand and flag unusual scrap.
For discrete, made-to-order, contract and process manufacturers, from a single workshop to several plants.
Core modules
The modules most manufacturers start with, all working from one production order.
Multi-level bills of materials hold every component and sub-assembly per unit, routings set the operations and work centres, and each engineering change is saved as a new revision.
Raise a production order from a sales order or for stock, and the system splits it into work orders per operation, reserving the materials the bill of materials calls for.
Plan jobs against machine and labour capacity on a visual schedule, with each due date checked against material availability before a job is released to the floor.
Operators start, pause and finish each operation on a tablet or by scanning the job card barcode, recording quantities made and scrapped, and job status updates with every scan.
Inspection checklists run at goods receipt, in process and before dispatch, and a failed check opens a non-conformance report with its cause, action and sign-off recorded.
Actual material, labour and machine time are costed against every production order and compared with the standard cost, so you see the margin on each job as it closes.
Manufacturing ERP
Manufacturing ERP Software joins sales orders, bills of materials, stock, purchasing and delivery → on one record, and every production order checks its materials before release. Finance, sales and HR run in the same build, as they do in our Custom ERP Software.
Shop floor
A scan or tap at each work centre replaces the paper job card and updates the job, schedule and stock.
Every open job by operation: waiting, running, paused or done
Start, pause and finish with a tap at the work centre
Scan to open the job with its drawing and instructions
Components drawn from stock as quantities are reported
Reasons recorded against the operation and operator
Stoppages logged by machine, cause and duration
Hours booked to each operation from clock-on and clock-off
Counts and status read from equipment, built where your machines allow
Quality and costing
Inspection results, costs and reports all come from what the floor records against each production order.
By role
Each person sees what their role needs, from the same production records.
Orders, output, late jobs, scrap and margin by customer on one dashboard, with AI answering questions about your own production data.
Orders scheduled against machine and labour capacity, material shortfalls shown before release, and jobs moved on the schedule when priorities change.
The jobs queued at each work centre with their drawings and work instructions, and quantities and scrap reported by scan or tap.
Shortfalls from the plan raised as requisitions, goods received booked by scan, and materials issued to each job against its bill of materials.
Inspections due at receipt, in process and before dispatch, with non-conformance reports and corrective actions tracked until they are closed.
Job costs, stock valuation and work in progress at month end, with sales invoices and supplier bills posted to your accounting system.
Built to order
Built in phases using information from your own system, with staff approving every output.
Module library
Add these as your factory needs them.
Promise dates the factory can actually meet.
Price quotations from the bill of materials, routing and current material costs, with the margin shown before sending.
Take sales orders with promised dates checked against the production schedule before you confirm them.
Attach drawings, specifications and approved samples to the customer's product, and they follow every production order for it.
Raise delivery orders and packing lists from finished goods, with partial deliveries tracked until the order is complete.
Know where every material lot is and who holds it.
Trace each finished batch back to the material lots and supplier deliveries it used, for recalls and audits.
Receive, issue and count materials with a Barcode Inventory System on handheld scanners or phones.
Store finished goods by bin and pick them to order in a Warehouse Management System on the same stock.
Send material out for plating, heat treatment or machining, and track what each subcontractor holds until it returns.
Hold materials supplied by a customer separately from your own stock, with usage reported back against each order.

Packaged manufacturing ERP products suit factories whose processes match the product. When your routings, costing method or customer-supplied materials do not, we build the system around them, and change it as your products and lines change.
Questions
The best Manufacturing Software is the one that follows your own bills of materials, routings and costing. A packaged manufacturing ERP suits standard processes, and a custom build fits when made-to-order or contract work keeps breaking that standard.
Manufacturers typically use an ERP for orders, stock, purchasing and finance, alongside production software for planning, shop-floor tracking and quality. We build both into one system, so a job is never retyped between them.
The five most often named are ERP for orders and finance, MRP for material planning, MES for shop-floor execution, quality management software and CAD/CAM for design. We build the first four into one system; design stays in your CAD tools.
Manufacturing ERP Software adds what a factory needs to sales, stock and accounts: bills of materials, production orders, scheduling, shop-floor tracking, quality and job costing. A general ERP records stock and sales, but not how each product is made.
Cost depends on scope: the modules in the first phase, the data to migrate and the systems to connect. A small manufacturer can start with bills of materials, production orders and stock, and each phase is priced separately.
It depends on the first phase. A release covering bills of materials, production orders and shop-floor tracking goes live sooner than a full build with scheduling, quality and costing, and we give you a schedule once scope is agreed.
We move them for you. We map your spreadsheets or old system to the new structure, run a test import for you to check, then load items, bills of materials and opening stock on an agreed cut-off date.
Our solutions are eligible for government grants. We explain how the schemes apply to your project and what the agency looks for, so you can budget with the full picture in front of you.
The system connects to Xero, QuickBooks and InvoiceNow (Peppol) for invoices and accounts. Machine connections for counts and status can be built where your equipment provides the data; tell us your machines and we will confirm what is possible.
AI features can be added in their own phase, using information from your system: forecasting demand and material needs, reading supplier documents, answering order status questions and flagging unusual scrap or delays. Staff approve every output.
Access is set by role, so operators see their jobs and drawings while costs and margins stay with managers. Every change is logged against a named user, supporting your PDPA obligations alongside your own policies.
