Bill of Materials (BOM)
EXCS's bill of materials allows you to accurately define all the components, materials, parts, subassemblies and quantities required to manufacture a finished product. Starting with the finished product at the top, its hierarchical structure allows infinite multi-level BOMs of unlimited size. Save time by duplicating existing BOMs, use the tracking history to record revisions (ideal for audit purposes), and import BOMs from other software packages, including Excel and CAD packages. Included in EXCS ERP's BOM is a standard item configurator.
BOM Imports
Avoid manual errors and save time by transferring data to EXCS ERP quickly and conveniently from multiple software packages, including CAD and CSV formats. Data can also be extracted from EXCS and fed into CAD packages.
BOM Control
Manage every change or update to your BOM across components, sub-assemblies and materials with EXCS's BOM control. Once approved, our Version Control records and stores the full history of BOM revisions.
Work Order Management
Generate work orders in a single click with EXCS ERP and keep your production moving. Guide your production team, coordinate your resources and ensure every job is manufactured to a quality standard and schedule. EXCS ERP supports multi-item work orders, allowing for nesting and by-products being returned to stock.
Stock Management
Accurately track inventory levels and ensure you have the necessary materials to complete each job. The most cost-effective materials for each job are easily identified. With EXCS you can also minimise waste by optimising use of raw materials, saving time, material, and cost by using the same piece of raw material across different jobs. These split costs can then be allocated to the relevant job. Our Warehouse Management ensures that stock can be easily identified and located.
Multiple Unit of Measure (UOM) & Conversions
EXCS ERP gives you the ability to measure materials precisely, based on your preferences. Stay in control of various units of measurement for your inventory. Establish conversion ratios directly within the system, ensuring seamless management of sales, purchases, and stock transactions. The system will automatically manage all conversions on your behalf.
Manage Scrap
Avoid material shortages and account for all material costs by recording scrap or wastage information. EXCS ERP allows you to apply a fixed quantity and/or percentage to all items, either purchased or manufactured, for accurate materials management. Fixed and percentage scrap is also handled at every level in our BOM.
Full Traceability
EXCS ERP tracks materials in real time across your operations, not just in the warehouse. Track by batch, serial or lot numbers, or by date, including First In First Out (FIFO), Last In First Out (LIFO), and Use By.
Manage Your Resources Effectively
Take your MRP to the next level with EXCS ERP as you plan, monitor and organise your resources to meet customer deadlines. EXCS ERP allows you to schedule activities, taking into account availability of labour (including specific skill levels if required), machinery, tools, and work centres to create optimal production plans. In addition to daily, weekly, and monthly planning, our MRP functionality can be used for long term planning and forecasting.
Accurately Track Job Costs
Assign different labour rates to individuals and calculate the time they spent on each job. EXCS ERP also calculates the total weight and cost per tonne of the fabrication.
Key Analytics and Reporting for Fabrication
View the KPIs that matter to you on EXCS's customisable dashboards. Track work orders, stock levels, quality, production targets, waste and costs and understand exactly how your fabrication business is performing.
Improve Supply Chain Management
Get real time insights into your operations and manage the flow of materials through your business. EXCS uses current and historical data to analyse and forecast future demand and calculate stock requirements, source materials and plan production activities and end deliveries. Bringing all your data together provides a holistic view and allows leaders to spot opportunities for efficiency improvements.
Revision Control

Optimise Your Routing
Specify the tasks or operations and resources required for each job and the order in which these should be performed. With EXCS ERP you can create multiple route versions and add clear instructions and operator instructions on each route. Easily copy standard operations and routes from other part definitions. Store template routes and add different operations when required. Tests can also be assigned behind operations. Calculate planned labour costs and track set up times and run times, including cycle quantities and cycle time.
Comprehensive Quality System
Ensure your products meet specified standards. EXCS ERP handles inspections, testing and documents all results during the project, guaranteeing quality and durability. Material & test certificates can also be scanned in and printed with delivery notes.
