Software for small manufacturing businesses
Opeux is a simple operations suite for small manufacturing businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets but do not want an ERP. Track stock and parts, log non-conformances, take sales orders, manage suppliers and keep an asset register — from one workspace.
The problem
Small manufacturers run on stock levels, supplier reliability and quality records. The reality is stock counts are wrong by Wednesday, supplier renewals get missed, sales orders live in someone's head, NCRs get logged in a folder nobody opens, and audits become panicked spreadsheet rebuilds.
How Opeux helps
Opeux gives a small manufacturer real visibility without an ERP rollout. Inventory tracks stock with reorder thresholds and live usage logging. NCR captures issues, root causes and corrective actions with a real audit trail. Sales handles incoming orders cleanly. Suppliers tracks contracts, renewals and notice periods. Assets tracks production equipment with service intervals.
