Manufacturing ERP software that answers in plain English
Run BOMs, work orders, production planning and shop-floor tracking on one proven ERP platform — then ask it anything, from scrap rates to late work orders, and get an instant, audited answer.
LedgerOne is a manufacturing ERP built on the mature open-source Frappe/ERPNext platform, so the fundamentals are already battle-tested: multi-level bills of materials, work orders, production plans, subcontracting, capacity planning and quality inspections all live in the same system as your accounting, inventory and purchasing. Every material issue, every finished-goods entry and every operation cost flows straight into the general ledger without exports, re-keying or reconciliation spreadsheets.
What makes LedgerOne different from traditional manufacturing software is how you get information out. Instead of hunting through report menus or waiting on an analyst, anyone on the team can ask a question in plain English — "which work orders are running late this week?" — and the built-in AI workbench writes and runs a safe, read-only SQL query against your live production data, showing both the answer and the exact query it ran.
Sound familiar?
Production data trapped in silos
When planning lives in spreadsheets, stock in one system and costing in another, nobody trusts the numbers. LedgerOne keeps BOMs, work orders, stock and cost on one platform with a single source of truth.
Answers arrive too late to act
A scrap-rate report that takes three days to build describes last week’s problem. With a median time-to-answer of about three seconds, LedgerOne turns shop-floor questions into same-meeting decisions.
Real production costs stay invisible
Material, labour and overhead are booked in different places, so true cost per unit is guesswork. LedgerOne valuates every work order against the ledger, so actual cost is always current.
What you get
Every capability below ships in the same platform as the rest of your ERP — no add-on modules, no integration projects.
Multi-level BOMs
Model assemblies, sub-assemblies and alternates with revision control, operation routing and per-level costing that rolls up automatically.
Work orders & job cards
Issue materials, track operations across workstations and post finished goods — with actual versus planned quantities visible at every step.
Production planning & capacity
Plan production from sales orders or forecasts, check material availability, and schedule against real workstation capacity instead of wishful thinking.
Shop-floor tracking
Live status on every operation and workstation, so supervisors see bottlenecks as they form — not in next month’s review.
Quality inspections
Inspection templates on incoming material, in-process operations and finished goods, with results linked to the batches and suppliers involved.
Accurate production costing
Material, operation and overhead costs post to the general ledger per work order, so margin per item reflects what production actually cost.
Ask your factory anything
The AI workbench turns plain-English production questions into transparent, read-only SQL against your live manufacturing data. It can never modify a work order or a stock entry — every query is validated, capped and recorded in an audit log. Planners, supervisors and owners get answers directly, without learning report builders or waiting in the IT queue.
“Which work orders are behind schedule this week?”
“What was our scrap percentage by item group last month?”
“Which raw materials will run out before the next purchase receipt?”
“What is the actual vs planned cost on work order WO-00042?”
Manufacturing ERP questions, answered
Yes. LedgerOne is built on the Frappe/ERPNext manufacturing core, which supports nested bills of materials, alternate items, operation routing, subcontracted operations and BOM revision control out of the box.
