To start using Manufacturo involves a few steps to ensure a tailored, efficient, and seamless implementation journey for every client.
The process begins with booking a tailored demo session, allowing you to gain firsthand insight into Manufacturo’s capabilities and functionalities for your business.
Next, a comprehensive requirements analysis is performed free of charge by our business consultants to assess your specific manufacturing model and organizational needs.
Once you are satisfied with what you have seen and verified, the next step is to sign an order form to solidify the partnership between our teams.
Finally, with all formalities in place, the implementation phase starts. In this phase, your Manufacturo environment is configured and deployed according to your needs and requirements.
Your expectations and needs are our priority, so we put you in the driver's seat while conducting a thorough requirements analysis. To ensure your needs are covered, you’ll get a quick questionnaire to fill out, outlining your preferences and areas of interest. By helping examine your manufacturing model, you remain in control of what you want to see and when.
If the requirements analysis uncovers gaps or issues, we will collaborate with you to address them effectively. You will have access to the core product and service team members to help you fully understand the functionality and roadmap and the proper course of action. If certain features require additional development, you’ll discuss them and collaborate with our product team. We value feedback, so this process helps us strengthen our product while meeting the needs of our new and existing customers.
Your specific needs will be further addressed using Manufacturo’s Integrator module, which offers several customization options enabling you to:
Build and embed custom screens that look and act like the standard product.
Add new and custom endpoints for easier and more efficient integration with other systems.
Implement bespoke business logic, ensuring seamless integration with your existing workflows.
Add additional custom attributes to most Manufacturo entities ensuring proper coverage of critical information.
After you have completed the evaluation process and are satisfied with how Manufacturo can contribute to your manufacturing operations, the next step is to sign the order form. Our team will work with you to create and gather all the necessary documentation detailing the agreed-upon terms and conditions to get Manufacturo started within your organization.
Your specific needs and pain points always determine our approach to the implementation process. We like to tackle and eliminate problems that cause the most pain. Using customer pain-driven development, we can ensure that every application within Manufacturo is tailored to solve your individual challenges.
Utilizing tools like Jira Product Management, you can submit a feature request or provide valuable feedback to be directly involved in shaping our roadmap, ensuring that every feature we develop addresses specific customer needs.
You can track progress and engage with our team via a dedicated client portal. We update Manufacturo weekly with release notes published frequently and regularly to support those updates, focusing on resolving pain points identified by you and other clients.
At Manufacturo, we understand you have a unique manufacturing model and requirements. Our Services Team is ready to support you on your implementation journey by guiding you in critical areas.
We offer extensive customization options to ensure you can effectively capitalize on all the benefits of Manufacturo. You can customize various elements, including screens, attributes, alerts, reports, business logic, and actions.
You can easily import master data to Manufacturo using ready tools or create your own scripts to upload data in a preferred format such as Microsoft Excel, CSV, and others.
While you can create your own reports and alerts in Manufacturo, we understand that support may be needed, and we are ready to assist you with expert guidance, consultations, and specialized training as required.
Manufacturo’s out-of-the-box (OOTB) applications typically include the core features you need, which means you can go live within a few weeks or even sooner. With this, we understand that some functionality may not exist, but our extension frameworks can fill this out to ensure all functionality is delivered as needed.
We offer diverse options to suit your needs and have standard migration toolkits to pull and cleanse data from various source applications. If you have a unique data format or an existing system, our team will thoroughly analyze the optimal approach for safely importing your existing data.
Successful implementation also relies on efficiently integrating of key systems in your data-driven manufacturing environment. Whether you use Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) applications, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Enterprise Resource Management (ERP) solutions, or Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), you need suitable connectors for effective manufacturing software integrations.

Manufacturo can be implemented as a stand-alone solution in days, whereas integration with third-party systems usually takes 2–8 weeks, depending on the complexity and available connectivity.
Definitely the integration phase. It is important to precisely plan what data should be exchanged and what should trigger an exchange of the data. We have integrated with hundreds of systems, and it is important to understand the flow of data and what system owns what. Visit our Integration web page for exhaustive information on the integration phase.
Ensure you have the right people and some of their time to start the process on your side. The services team might support you on this journey, but they will need some input from your team.
