Metal, wood & plastics
ERP for processors who make to order
For metalworkers, joiners, plastics processors and contract manufacturers. Quote, material, production and invoice come from one record so every order is costed, delivered and billed.
Where processors lose time and money
Costing in Excel
Material and labour are recalculated for every quote.
Quotes without follow-up
The quote is out and nobody asks.
Material too late
Ordering happens when the job is already in the workshop.
Unchecked goods receipt
Nobody checks whether quantity and price match the order.
How an order runs in relyd
From costing to invoice in one system.
Quote with costing
Material and labour from the bill of materials make up the costing that the quote is based on. If the customer opened it but did not reply, the AI Steward follows up.
- Costing from bill of materials and times
- Quote with digital signature
- Follow-up on open quotes
Material and production
The accepted quote becomes a work order with material needs. Purchase orders go to suppliers and goods receipt is compared with the order.
- Work order from the quote
- Purchase orders to suppliers
- Goods receipt against the order
Inspect, deliver, bill
Inspections belong to the order. Delivery note and invoice follow from the same record.
- Quality inspection on the order
- Delivery note and invoice
- Reminder and dunning
What the AI Steward takes over
Every workflow starts manually or with your approval and only runs on its own once it has proven itself. Every step is logged.
Quotation opened, no answer
Checks quotations the customer opened 3 days ago without accepting or rejecting: schedules a call for the responsible colleague or asks the customer whether anything is unclear.
Quotation accepted
Checks quotations accepted in the last days without an invoice: proposes a task to create the invoice or down-payment invoice.
Work order waiting for material
Proposes a task to request or transfer material for work orders waiting for it for more than a day.
Work order not started
Proposes a task to check the bottleneck when released work orders have not started 2 days after their planned start.
Inspection failed
Proposes a task for quality to open a nonconformity and decide on blocking the batch when an inspection was rejected.
Check goods receipt
Compares posted goods receipts with their purchase order and proposes a task only when quantity or amount differ noticeably.
