Custom leather-goods manufacturing

How a custom leather-goods manufacturer ties each purchase to its production job on Beezr

Every sales order in this workshop opens a production request in Beezr with its bill of materials. Materials, purchases and expenses stay tied to the job, so margin is visible per product and batch.

Custom manufacturing lost the link between sale and material

Sales, operations and procurement coordinated production through disconnected tools. Custom orders made the handover harder. Spreadsheets struggled to track each specification, while manual coordination delayed fulfilment.

Material consumption had no central record tied to production output. Stock discrepancies followed. Procurement requests went by email, so replenishment and delivery slipped. Management lacked a shared view of production and inventory.

The workshop had the order. It lacked a connected record of the work.

Each job carries its requirements: what we built

We started with the sales order and kept the production job attached.

Sales starts production

Retail and partner orders link to their product configurations. Each order triggers a production request with its bill of materials. Custom items carry design notes, instructions and the customer's reference data.

Materials move with the work

Production activity deducts raw materials from stock in real time. Batches retain their item type, supplier and warehouse. Expired, overused and returned materials are recorded so their movements remain traceable.

The purchase belongs to a job

Purchase orders are created against supplier profiles in Beezr. Each purchase is tied to the production job for cost attribution. Supplier balances retain transaction detail, alongside the purchase-order status procurement works with.

Finance sees the cost of the work

Expenses are recorded by category and linked to jobs. Cost tracking also covers product types and timeframes for margin analysis. Finance handles expense approvals and ledger updates, while operations manages production.

The cost follows the work that created it.
