Software for machine builders who live with change.
Machine building means engineering, changing, and still delivering on time. Every machine is slightly different; every change touches the BoM, the costing and the planning at once. Standard software rarely keeps up — so spreadsheets appear next to the ERP and quietly become critical.

Where it pinches in machine building
Engineering changes by email
Sent round, half read, never landing everywhere.
Pre- and post-calculation
Two truths that never meet.
Variants and configurations
The ERP can't do it without a consulting project.
Service history per machine
Scattered across folders, email and heads.
Start with the change process, not the system
We capture how engineering, work preparation and purchasing actually cooperate today. Then the route is clear: choose or reconfigure the ERP properly, and catch whatever falls outside it in targeted applications.

IN PROGRESS
Redline — engineering change management for machine builders — comes straight out of this practice. And an on-call app like the one for Evers shows how fast a service process can be rebuilt: first version in five days.
Questions from machine building
Our BoMs are too complex for standard ERP. Recognisable?
Very recognisable, and rarely true. Usually the BoM structure was never explicitly designed — it grew. The solution starts with the structure, not the system. After that, more turns out to fit standard than expected, with targeted apps for the rest.
Can you improve our change process without implementing full PLM?
Yes. Full PLM is too heavy for many machine builders at this scale. A tight change process with a light tool connecting ERP and drawing management covers most of the pain in practice.
What does a custom app for service or costing cost?
Fixed monthly price, cancel monthly, free prototype first. We calculate what it earns you before you spend anything.
