Ostendo caters for simple to advanced levels of manufacturing.

We understand that manufacturing companies require software solutions of differing complexities. There is always a fine line between delivery a manufacturing software solution that requires huge overheads to maintain vs a solution that will deliver the right level of functionality to cover meet your business requirements.

We have worked many manufacturing businesses that “make to stock” standard products and “make to order” custom manufactured items. Ostendo’s functionality covers both of these scenarios offering flexible bill of material, routing, scheduling and resource/inventory control. Ostendo manufacturing software delivers rich functionality to manufacturing businesses of all sizes.

Ostendo software addresses a range of common challenges that manufacturers face.

This gives you greater control over the consistency of manufactured items One version of the truth from a bill of material perspective Simple to complex recipes can be maintained easily
Unsure of true manufacturing costs for an item?	Standard, average or actual costing can be utilised Cost rollups allow you to sum up component costs to give you finished goods costs	Be on top of your costs to make sure you are manufacturing profitably
Difficult to forecast stock and resource requirements	Ostendo offers full MRP (materials resource planning) to establish raw material requirements to meet the demands of current and future requirements.
