Who this is for
Small and mid-sized manufacturers in Singapore often run production on spreadsheets, a whiteboard, and an accounting package that knows nothing about the shop floor. We build the system that connects customer orders, materials, production, and costs, and we put AI to work on the documents that eat your planners' and buyers' time.

Common problems in manufacturing
These are the problems we are most often asked to fix.
01
Quoting custom jobs takes days
Every enquiry needs materials, machine time, and outsourced processes costed by hand, so the senior estimator becomes a bottleneck.
02
Nobody knows the real job cost
Material usage, labour hours, and scrap are not captured per job, so margins are only known at month end, if at all.
03
Material shortages stop production
Purchasing is not linked to the bill of materials and open orders, so parts run out or are over-ordered.
04
Production status lives on a whiteboard
Sales calls the floor to ask where an order is, and customers get delivery dates that are guesses.
05
Quality and traceability are on paper
Inspection records, batch numbers, and certificates are hard to find when a customer or auditor asks.
What we build
Software built for manufacturing
Each system is built around your own workflow, data, and approval rules.
01
Estimating and quotation
Quotations built from your BOM, routings, and rates, with AI reading customer RFQs and drawings lists into draft line items for the estimator to check.
02
BOM and work orders
Multi-level bills of materials, work orders, and routings, with progress captured from the shop floor on tablets or phones.
03
Material planning and purchasing
Shortage lists from open work orders and stock, supplier quotation comparison, and purchase orders sent for approval.
04
Inventory and traceability
Raw materials, WIP, and finished goods by location and batch, with full trace from supplier lot to customer delivery.
05
Quality records
Inspection checklists, non-conformance reports, and certificates attached to the job and batch.
06
Accounting integration
Invoices, bills, and job costs sync with Xero, QuickBooks, or SAP Business One.
FAQ
Questions about software for manufacturing
Should a small manufacturer buy an ERP package or build custom?
If your products and processes are standard, a packaged manufacturing ERP is often the faster choice. Custom is worth it for job shops, contract manufacturers, and make-to-order businesses whose quoting, routing, or costing does not fit a package without heavy workarounds.
Can AI help with manufacturing quotations?
Yes. AI can read customer RFQs and parts lists, match items to your BOMs and past jobs, and draft the quotation. The estimator checks and adjusts the draft, so quoting is faster without losing judgement on price.
Can we start with one module?
Yes. Many manufacturers start with quotation, purchasing, or work order tracking and add modules in phases. A focused module can start from about S$10,000.
How much does a custom manufacturing ERP cost?
A custom ERP from SleekDigital usually costs S$50,000 to S$200,000, depending on modules and integrations. AI ERP, with agents drafting work inside the system, is usually S$50,000 to S$300,000+. We give a written quotation after a scoping session.
Is the project eligible for a government grant?
Qualifying Singapore SMEs may claim up to 50% of project cost under the Enterprise Development Grant. Eligibility is decided by Enterprise Singapore, not by SleekDigital. We prepare the scope and quotation documents the application needs.
