ManuDyn Cloud 9

ManuDyn Cloud 9 is a web-based system for job-shop and made-to-order manufacturers, developed by Manufacturing Software USA. It runs in an ordinary browser, so nothing has to be installed or maintained locally.

The system lets a manufacturer define each part, take sales orders and then work out the labour and materials those orders need. Job costs and statuses update as operators log work.

What ManuDyn Cloud 9 offers

• Item engineering — defines manufactured parts and what goes into them.
• Quoting and estimating — prepares quotes and manages the sales order book.
• Shop-floor data collection — operators clock on and off jobs and update status on a simple screen.
• Real-time job costing — shows the status and running cost of every order.
• Planning and purchasing — production scheduling, inventory control, purchasing, invoicing and reporting.
