Production tracking
Job, batch or lot status captured from the shop floor on tablets and phones.
Manufacturing Software Development
Custom manufacturing software that fits how your factory works
Replace spreadsheets, paper job cards and WhatsApp updates with software built around your production flow, connected to the accounting or ERP system you already use.
In short
What is custom manufacturing software?
Custom manufacturing software is built around a specific factory's products, processes and existing systems rather than bought off the shelf. ImliStack typically starts with one costly manual process, such as production tracking, job-work or quotations, delivers it in weeks, then connects it to accounting or ERP and extends it in phases.
Where we usually help
- Production is tracked in Excel, registers or WhatsApp groups
- An off-the-shelf ERP does not match how your shop floor works
- The same data is typed into several systems
- Management cannot see live production, stock or job cost

Manufacturing Software Development: common questions
Do you build bespoke manufacturing software for UK companies?
Yes. ImliStack works remotely with UK manufacturers on bespoke production tracking, job and works-order management, stock control and scheduling, typically integrated with Sage, Xero or QuickBooks. We are based in India, so we agree working-hour overlap with UK teams at the start.
Is custom manufacturing software better than an off-the-shelf ERP?
Not always. Off-the-shelf ERP suits companies whose processes match it. Custom software is better when your workflow is distinctive, when you only need part of an ERP, or when you want to keep existing accounting and add what is missing around it.
Can we automate production tracking without replacing our accounting software?
Yes. Production, inventory and job data can live in a custom system that passes the relevant entries to your accounting software. Integration depends on the product, version and available APIs, which we check during discovery.
Can AI automate purchase order entry?
AI document processing can extract fields from purchase orders and supplier invoices and prepare structured records for review. Validation rules and human approval keep incorrect quantities, prices or suppliers out of your systems.
How long does a first version take?
A focused first module, such as production tracking or job-work, is typically live within a few weeks. Larger systems are delivered in phases so each one is usable on its own.
