What it costs to make, before you make it.
A bill of materials in Equinox is not a list: every line carries its waste, every operation its minutes on a priced work center. When the order is created the requirements already include the scrap; when it is completed the components leave the warehouse and the finished pieces enter it at their real cost. The purchase orders that fed it and the hours that made it sit in the same database.
Scroll through a demo order. Move the quantity: requirements and cost recompute the way the product does — waste per line, setup once and run per piece on each work center.
Manufacturing / EquinoxFor the people using it
Manufacturing
Bills of materials with waste per line and priced operations, production orders that consume components and receive finished goods as real stock movements, a standard cost that rolls up onto the product. Equinox for workshops and small factories, with purchasing and the warehouse in the same books.
- Waste
- Per lineeach component line carries its own waste percentage, applied to the requirements when the order is created: 24 demo chairs ask for 108.86 m of ash strip, not 100.80.
- Operations
- Setup + run × quantityon work centers with a cost per hour; the operation cost is the minutes divided by sixty, times the rate — and it rolls up into the standard cost of the product.
- Order states
- 5planned, confirmed, in progress, completed, cancelled — transitions enforced by the server, so a completed order was necessarily started.
- Completion
- Real stock movementscomponents consumed, finished goods received at their rolled-up cost, scrap written off and by-products credited at their recovery value.
A production order, start to finish
Twenty-four chairs, five moments, one cost.
Scroll through a demo order. Move the quantity: requirements and cost recompute the way the product does — waste per line, setup once and run per piece on each work center.
The bill of materials, with its waste
The demo chair: ash strip by the metre with 8% waste, a hardware kit, varnish by the litre with 5%. Three operations — cutting, assembly, finishing — each on a work center with setup and run minutes and a cost per hour.
ManufacturingRequirements that include the scrap
A production order for twenty-four pieces multiplies every line by the quantity and by one plus the waste. The warehouse shows what is short; the purchasing module turns it into supplier orders.
WarehouseOperations on priced work centers
Cutting is set up once and runs six minutes a piece; assembly eighteen. Each operation costs its minutes at the center’s hourly rate, and the sum is the labour part of the standard cost.
ManufacturingTime logs against the plan
The order moves to in progress; operations are advanced and time is logged against them. Attendance of the people on the floor lives in the same system, overtime computed at clock-out.
PeopleCompletion writes the warehouse
Components are consumed and the finished chairs received as real stock movements at the rolled-up cost; scrap is written off, by-products credited at their recovery value. The delivery and the installation at the customer’s are a work order for the team on the road.
Projects & fieldThe modules involved
Five modules, one shop floor.
Production starts with what is in stock and what needs ordering, and ends with pieces on a van. These are the modules a workshop uses in Equinox; each has its own page.
Manufacturing
Bills of materials with waste, operations and scrap; production orders with enforced states; standard cost rollup.
02Warehouse
Stock of components and finished goods across warehouses and bins, lots, reorder thresholds by urgency.
03Purchasing
Supplier orders for what is short, partial goods receipts checked against the order, supplier invoices.
04People
Attendance with overtime beyond eight hours, leave balances, contracts — the people on the floor.
05Projects & field
Work orders for delivery and installation at the customer’s, with checklist, parts, photos and signature.
The views that matter
What the workshop actually looks at.
Real captures of the application on a demo workshop. The production orders, one order in detail, stock across warehouses, a supplier order being received, the reorder list and attendance.
Production orders — planned, confirmed, in progress
The Equinox production orders list: demo orders with number, product, quantity, state, priority and dates.
One order — requirements, operations, time
A production order in Equinox: the requirements with waste, the operations with their progress, the time logs and the state actions.
Stock — two warehouses, one truth per product
The Equinox stock levels view: products of a demo company with quantities per warehouse, reserved and available.
Supplier order — ordered vs received, per line
A supplier order in Equinox: lines with ordered and received quantities, the linked goods receipt and the order state.
Reorder — thresholds ordered by urgency
The Equinox reorder suggestions: products under their threshold with deficit, lead time, urgency and suggested quantity.
Attendance — the monthly report, overtime computed
The Equinox attendance monthly report: employees of a demo company with presences, absences, hours and overtime.
What is not here, on purpose: the MRP planning page is not shown because it is broken in the current build; there is no capacity scheduling or gantt on work centers, no automatic purchase orders from the plan, and the order, the receipt and the supplier invoice are linked by reference and compared by a person, not matched three ways automatically.
By trade
Six trades, one system underneath.
The same modules, arranged the way your work actually runs. Each page walks a typical day through the product, with the views that matter for that trade and the modules behind them.
Restaurants
Bookings that follow your service hours, orders taken at the table and split by station in the kitchen, the bill settled on the till of the same system, and every sale already in the VAT register. Equinox for restaurants, trattorias and bars.
02 · By tradeHospitality
Rooms on a tape chart, rate plans and a daily grid, city tax computed per stay, housekeeping that knows which room is next, and a folio that becomes an invoice at check-out. Equinox for hotels, guesthouses and B&Bs — with the restaurant downstairs in the same books.
03 · By tradeRetail & wholesale
A till that closes its session against the cash it should hold, stock that moves with every sale, price lists per customer and per quantity, reorder thresholds ordered by urgency. Equinox for shops and dealers, with purchasing and the VAT registers in the same books.
04 · By tradeField service
The week on a schedule, the work order that cannot be closed with a required check still open, parts and hours logged on site, the customer’s signature and the PDF report. Equinox for installers and maintenance firms, with the fleet and the rented equipment in the same books.
05 · By tradeStudios & agencies
Tasks on a board, hours logged as billable at their rate, expenses that pass through an approval workflow, an invoice made of the unbilled hours, reconciled against the bank when it is paid. Equinox for professional practices, studios and agencies.
06 · By tradeWorkshops & mobility
The workshop job on the vehicle that came in, trips and fuel in the fleet log, maintenance that does not slip, rental bookings that cannot overlap. Equinox for workshops, fleets and rental operators, with the invoices in the same books.
