Production: bills of material, work centres and work orders
Bills of material with a work centre on every line, routings, and work orders tracked stage by stage with the quantities that came off each one, so a short stage is caught where it happened. Spire keeps the part master, and the module stays off until you switch it on.
Key capabilities
- Bills of material with revisions and a work centre on every line
- Work orders tracked stage by stage, with a scan page for the shop floor
- Finite scheduling, work-centre load and planned purchases
- Estimates pushed to Spire as quotes
- Engineering change control, and work in process journalled to the Spire ledger
- Service and warranty for the units you ship, billed through Spire
The flow, end to end
-
Define the product
Build the bill of material with a work centre on every line and the routing between them, and keep each revision.
-
Plan the floor
Schedule work orders against finite work-centre capacity, see the load on each centre, and get planned purchases for what the orders will consume.
-
Track every stage
Each work order moves stage by stage, recorded from a scan page on the floor with the quantity that came off each stage, so a short stage is caught where it happened.
-
Close the loop in Spire
Estimates go to Spire as quotes, work in process is journalled to the Spire ledger, and serialised units received off a work order join an installed base for service and warranty.
A Nexus add-on module
Production reads and writes the same live data as everything else you run on Nexus, so it works in step with your other modules: no syncs, no exports. Add it on top of the platform: a flat per-company fee, no per-seat charge.
What people ask about Production
Does it replace Spire?
No. Spire keeps the part master, the quotes and the ledger. Production adds what Spire has no place for: work centres, routings and stage-by-stage tracking.
Is it switched on for everyone?
No. It stays off until you switch it on.
How do purchasing and production connect?
Planned purchases come from what scheduled work orders will consume, and a purchasing radar drafts chase emails to vendors, with AI, for anything running late.
Can it handle service after the sale?
Yes. The units you ship build an installed base with their warranty. A service call goes onto a technician's day, is recorded from their phone, and is billed through Spire for whatever the warranty does not cover.
