Jiwa, and the Nice flour, maize meal and feeds brands, are manufacturing customers. This is the plant edition: a work order, a quality hold, a real batch cost, and a ledger that matches the floor.

The ledger matches the floor.
Jiwa and the Nice brands, on this work order.
Define BOMs with sub-assemblies, co-products and by-products. Change a component once and every level that uses it stays correct.
Raise a work order, issue materials against it, and hold output for quality before it can be sold. Nothing ships unchecked.
See what a batch really cost — materials, yield variance and overhead — instead of a standard cost nobody trusts.
Freight, duty and clearing are pushed into true item cost, so an imported input never looks cheaper on paper than it was.
Barcode receiving, put-away, picking and FEFO for anything with a shelf life. Stock counts stop being a weekend event.
Demand forecasting with safety stock, supplier lead-time learning and ABC/XYZ classes — turned into purchase orders with one click.
A plant is only as good as the books behind it. The same system that issues materials posts the journals.
Departments, lines and sites as cost centres and dimensions — so profitability is reported per line, not guessed at year-end.
TIMS/eTIMS invoicing, iTax-ready exports and Kenyan statutory handling built in, not bolted on afterwards.
Run several plants, stores and legal entities on one platform with inter-company movements handled properly.
A morning briefing that surfaces yield drops, stock-out risk and margin slippage while there is still time to act.
Yes. A bill of materials can produce more than one output, and cost is apportioned across them so both carry a sensible value.
Both are supported. Most manufacturers run actual or moving-average costing so the batch cost reflects what really happened, with standards used for comparison.
Yes. VortexERP Enterprise deploys on-premise or in the cloud — many manufacturers keep it in their own data centre. VortexERP Lite is cloud-only, so choose Enterprise if on-premise matters.
Book a walkthrough with the team — BOMs, work orders, costing and the ledger behind them, on a system built for plants that run at scale.
