Manufacturo
by Manufacturo
A modular cloud MES with its own MRP app, built for high-complexity production such as space, energy and defense hardware. Procedures, shop-floor execution, inventory, nonconformance and CAPA share one data model, and the vendor sells it with a hands-on implementation.
Why it is classified this way
We call this a MES / shop floor product. Runs and records what happens on the floor. Execution, not planning, usually downstream of an ERP or MRP system.
It is not labeled Full MRP because we have not verified that it accepts dated demand, sales orders, a forecast, or a master production schedule; nets that demand against stock on hand and orders already incoming; explodes requirements through at least one level of the bill of materials; uses lead times or required dates; and produces dated buy, make, transfer, release, or reschedule recommendations. That is a statement about the evidence we found, not a claim that the product is weak, see the capability table and the sources below.
The six Full MRP tests, and how Manufacturo does on each (1 of 6)
- YesIt represents a bill of materials, recipe, or formula.Evidence: manufacturo.com › Process and procedures(opens in a new tab)
- PartialIt accepts dated demand, sales orders, a forecast, or a master production schedule.Not established. Backed only by a limited source (a vendor video from before 2023, source code, an old blog post or a single marketing line), which can fill the table but cannot pass this test.
- PartialIt nets that demand against stock on hand and orders already incoming.Not established. Backed only by a limited source (a vendor video from before 2023, source code, an old blog post or a single marketing line), which can fill the table but cannot pass this test.
- PartialIt explodes requirements through at least one level of the bill of materials.Not established. Backed only by a limited source (a vendor video from before 2023, source code, an old blog post or a single marketing line), which can fill the table but cannot pass this test.The MRP app compares demand "across every BOM level" and lets you "Analyze all BOM levels demand". Marketing page only, so this cannot pass the explosion test. Marketing page, read 2026(opens in a new tab)
- PartialIt uses lead times or required dates.Not established. Only partly shown: the evidence covers some of this but not all of it, so the test is not established.
- PartialIt produces dated buy, make, transfer, release, or reschedule recommendations.Not established. Only partly shown: the evidence covers some of this but not all of it, so the test is not established.
These rules are applied identically to every product and enforced at build time, a record cannot be published as Full MRP unless all six pass with a source attached. Read the methodology.
Best for
- Hardware manufacturers in regulated or high-complexity work (space, energy, defense) that need traceable execution and quality in one system
- Teams growing from prototype to production that want MRP tied to shop-floor execution
Not a fit when
- Small shops that need a published price or a self-serve start: everything is sold through demos and implementation
- Anyone who needs accounting in the same system; it connects to an ERP instead
Pricing facts
What it costs to do manufacturing in this product.
No published price
This vendor does not publish pricing, so you cannot compare it against anything here without contacting them. We will not estimate a figure.
What moves the real bill
- No published price. You have to contact the vendor, which usually means a sales call.
Pricing detail
No price is published. The vendor's site has no pricing page and asks you to book a demo, and its Microsoft marketplace listing offers only "Contact me". The startups page describes "an all-inclusive license that covers maintenance, support, and ongoing updates" without a figure. Implementation is a services project: the integration page says most integrations take "2 to 12 weeks".

Manufacturing capability

Planning
Working out what to buy or make, and when.
| Capability | Finding | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Accepts dated demandYou can tell it what is due and when, sales orders with dates, a forecast, or a production schedule. | Yes | The MRP page says you can "Build, and adjust Master Schedules across Products, Projects, or Sites" and "Configure by due date, quantity, Pedigree, Customer and Project". Vendor product page; no public manual.Reviewed October 9, 2026. Source: Marketing page, read 2026(opens in a new tab)Question this |
| Nets against stock on handIt subtracts what you already have before telling you to buy more. | Yes | The MRP app works "By comparing demand from your Master Schedule with available supply—across every BOM level, Site, Pedigree and Project". Vendor product page; no public manual.Reviewed October 9, 2026. Source: Marketing page, read 2026(opens in a new tab)Question this |
| Counts incoming ordersIt knows about purchase orders and production orders already placed, so it does not tell you to order twice. | Partial | "Available supply" is not defined, so the page does not say whether open purchase and work orders count as supply. It does list checks on "Orphan Inventory, Purchase and Work orders".Reviewed October 9, 2026. Source: Marketing page, read 2026(opens in a new tab)Question this |
| Uses lead timesIt works backwards from when you need something to when you must order or start it, using supplier and production lead times. | Partial | Planned orders are generated "based on inventory, lead times, Safety Stocks and Re-Order points", but the page does not show lead time moving an order or start date.Reviewed October 9, 2026. Source: Marketing page, read 2026(opens in a new tab)Question this |
| Produces dated buy/make suggestionsThe output is an actionable list with dates, order this much by this date, start this batch on this date. | Partial | The engine will "Automatically generate planned Work Orders and Purchase Orders", with suggested actions to drill into. No dates on those suggestions are described.Reviewed October 9, 2026. Source: Marketing page, read 2026(opens in a new tab)Question this |

Source: manufacturo.com › Process and procedures(opens in a new tab)Question this |
| Multi-level BOMSub-assemblies inside assemblies, a part that is itself made from other parts, nested as deep as you need. | Yes | The MRP app can "Plan multilevel assemblies and generate Clear-To-Build indicators" and "Analyze all BOM levels demand".Reviewed October 9, 2026.

Inventory & traceability
Knowing what you hold and being able to trace it.
| Capability | Finding | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Batch & lot traceabilityWhich incoming material lots went into which finished batch, and where those finished goods went. | Partial | NC dashboards track "serial/lot numbers" and link NCs to "supplier lots", and inventory keeps "trace history across builds". A lot trace forward to the customer is not described.Reviewed October 9, 2026.

Editorial notes and cautions
Things we would want a friend to know before buying.
- Every claim here rests on the vendor's product pages; there is no public manual or API reference. The MRP page is registered as a limited source, so its planning claims fill the table but cannot pass a Full MRP test.
- Positioned for aerospace, space, energy and defense manufacturers. The vendor's own examples are rockets, reactors and satellites, not small-batch consumer goods.
Evidence and verification
Why this record is not Verified. Held at partially verified because there is no public documentation behind the product pages, even though the coverage would clear the Verified threshold.
Researched 2026-09-19 from the vendor's MRP, inventory, shop-floor, procedures, nonconformance, integration and security pages, read in full, plus its Microsoft marketplace listing (publisher shown as Andea). Held at partially verified because there is no public documentation behind the product pages, even though the coverage would clear the Verified threshold. Security page: hosted on Microsoft Azure, including Azure Government; the home page also mentions private cloud and on-premise options.

What we still want to confirm
We publish our gaps rather than hiding them. If you can point us at a first-party page for any of these, we will update the record and credit the correction.
- Find documentation of the MRP run: whether open purchase and work orders count as supply, and whether lead time sets the dates on planned orders.
- Confirm costing, lot trace to the customer, expiry and any export.
- Get an indicative price or license structure.
Still unknown: capacity planning, recipes & formulas, expiry & shelf life, product costing & cogs, ecommerce connection, webhooks, mcp support, csv export.
