One system that sees your BOM, your shop floor, and your books at the same time.
Most SMB manufacturers run production planning in one tool, inventory in another, and finance in a third, then spend hours each week reconciling the three. Yukti runs them as one connected system from the start, which is the core reason manufacturers move to it.
The Real Workflows Behind Process & Discrete Manufacturing ERP
One BOM structure for discrete, batch, or both
Bill of materials supports multi-level structures with component substitutions and cost rollup, whether your process is discrete assembly, batch process manufacturing, or a mix of both. Work orders track material consumption and labor hours in real time, with quality checkpoints at whatever stage matters for your process.
Routing and shop floor control in real time
Routing defines the sequence of operations across work centers, and shop floor control gives real-time visibility into what's actually happening on the floor, not what the schedule assumed would happen.
Shortages become a purchase suggestion, not a phone call
A shortage discovered mid-shift is a stalled work order and a rushed call to a supplier at the worst possible price. Because material requirements from a work order and purchase management run on the same platform, a flagged shortage generates a purchase suggestion tied to the specific job that needs it.
Stock valuation updates as production happens
A completed work order automatically updates finished goods stock and cost of goods sold, and work in progress is valued and tracked as real inventory partway through a multi-stage process. Purchase orders for raw materials trigger based on actual production schedules and lead times, not a static reorder point.
How the Pieces Connect
One connected record instead of four separate entries
Production planning in one tool, inventory in a spreadsheet, and finance in separate accounting software means three versions of the truth someone has to manually align. Yukti collapses that: a work order, the material it consumes, the finished good it produces, and the purchase order that replenished it are the same connected record.
A shop floor shortage becomes a requisition automatically
A shortage surfaced on the shop floor becomes a purchase requisition without anyone re-typing a part number into a second system.
Real-time costing instead of a month-end estimate
Stock valuation updates as production transactions post, so cost of goods sold, work-in-progress value, and margin by product are current numbers a manager can pull mid-week, not a report accurate only as of the last manual reconciliation.
One AI agent working across production, stock, and the books
This is where AI-native architecture matters most for a general manufacturer: the production scheduling agent isn't bolted onto a standalone MRP tool.
Sees material availability, work center capacity, and financial cost data as one picture
Bases scheduling recommendations on what's actually in stock
Factors in what production actually costs, not a stale estimate
Avoids relying on a snapshot from whatever system last synced
See What This Could Save Your Team
Production planning and scheduling
You could save ~6.0 hours/month
Based on documented ERP implementation efficiency benchmarks: planning, forecasting, and reporting activities in manufacturing typically see a 10-20% efficiency gain from AI-assisted scheduling that reduces manual replanning triggered by material shortages, machine downtime, and demand changes; enter your own expected improvement since results vary widely by production environment.
Material picking and production consumption tracking
You could save ~8.0 hours/month
Based on documented ERP implementation efficiency benchmarks: material picking and recording production consumption typically see a 20% efficiency gain when component usage is tracked automatically against the bill of materials instead of logged by hand.
Engineering change orders and BOM revisions
You could save ~0.8 hours/month
Based on documented ERP implementation efficiency benchmarks: propagating an engineering change order or bill-of-materials revision to every affected work order typically sees only a 5% efficiency gain, since this remains a largely manual review process even with automation support.
Preventive maintenance scheduling
You could save ~1.7 hours/month
Automatic preventive maintenance scheduling against equipment usage replaces manually tracking maintenance due dates across a spreadsheet.
Shop floor progress tracking
You could save ~2.1 hours/month
Real-time shop floor status visible from the office replaces walking the floor or calling supervisors to check on work order progress.
Bill of materials creation and maintenance
You could save ~4.5 hours/month
Multi-level BOMs with reusable sub-assemblies reduce the time spent rebuilding similar structures from scratch for each new product.
Production efficiency (OEE) analytics
You could save ~6.0 hours/month
Real-time OEE and cycle-time dashboards replace manually compiling downtime and output data from the shop floor into a report.
Total: ~29.1 hours/month, ~$908/month
Common Questions
We currently run production in a spreadsheet and inventory and accounting in separate software. What actually changes if we move to Yukti?
The biggest change is that a work order, the material it consumes, and the resulting finished goods stock become one record instead of three separate entries you reconcile by hand. A completed work order updates inventory and cost of goods sold automatically, so you're not re-keying the same production data into a spreadsheet and then again into accounting software.
Does Yukti automatically create a purchase order when a work order reveals we're short on a raw material?
A shortage flagged during production generates a purchase suggestion tied to the specific job that needs it, so reordering doesn't depend on a manager noticing the shelf is empty or remembering to check a static reorder point that may not reflect what's actually queued up on the shop floor.
How does stock valuation update as production happens? Do we still need a month-end inventory reconciliation?
Stock valuation updates as production transactions post, consuming raw material and producing finished or semi-finished goods, so cost of goods sold and margin reports reflect current numbers rather than a snapshot from the last manual reconciliation. That doesn't eliminate periodic stock counts for accuracy, but it removes the need for a month-end batch process just to know what production actually cost.
We run some products as discrete assembly and others as batch process manufacturing. Do we need two different systems, or does one handle both?
One system handles both. Bill of materials, work orders, and routing support discrete assembly, batch process manufacturing, or a mix, so you're not forced to pick a production model the software assumes and work around it for whichever products don't fit.
What happens to a product that's partially built, is that tracked as inventory or is it invisible until it's finished?
Work in progress is tracked and valued as real inventory as it moves through a multi-stage process, not just at the moment a final operation completes. That matters for an accurate stock and cost picture at any point mid-production, not only at the two endpoints of raw material and finished goods.
Where a Simpler Tool Might Be Right
A business that buys finished goods and resells them, with no in-house production step, doesn't need bill of materials or work order tracking. A distribution-focused setup fits that model better than a manufacturing module built around a production process that doesn't exist in your business. This page is for businesses that actually make something, whichever process gets them there.
