Technology for Manufacturers
Manufacturers who make to order deal with complexity that off-the-shelf software rarely handles well: products with thousands of possible combinations, trade customers who order through a mix of email, phone and spreadsheets, and production processes that depend on systems nobody wants to touch.
We have worked with UK manufacturers for more than ten years, most closely in furniture. We build the ordering systems their customers use, connect new machinery to existing production processes, and take manual steps out of the business.
Where we help manufacturers
Our manufacturing work tends to start in one of four places.
Trade ordering for your retailers
B2B ordering portals let your retailers and trade customers order complex products online, with administration tools for your own team, so orders arrive complete instead of by email and phone.
Configurators that prevent impossible orders
Customers mix and match sizes, finishes and options, while rules behind the scenes make sure only valid combinations can be ordered. You can offer a wide range without maintaining thousands of separate product codes.
Orders with everything production needs
When an order needs more than a product code, customers upload plans and drawings when they order, so the warehouse and assembly teams have what they need from the start.
Production processes that connect
New machinery is integrated with your existing production systems, including older ones, so a new piece of equipment improves the whole process rather than becoming another island.
Working with us
Manufacturing systems have to keep running while they change. We work in stages, around your production schedule, and build everything to be documented and maintainable so you are never locked in.
"Quaytech aren't just software developers. They took the time to understand what we were trying to achieve, helped shape the solution, and suggested improvements we hadn't considered. The result was a production process we could genuinely rely on." Operations Director, UK SME
