How iProduction Helped a Small Factory Owner Ditch 12 Spreadsheets and Save 50% Time on Reporting

Last month, a small manufacturer approached us in frustration.

They were managing production with 12 separate Excel sheets — from raw materials to finished goods. It worked… until it didn’t.

👉 Data was scattered
👉 Orders were delayed
👉 Inventory mismatches were common
👉 Reporting every week took over 5 hours

They tried ERPs, but those felt too bloated and expensive.

That’s where iProduction came in.

✅ They started using our system to manage production orders, inventory, material planning, and reporting — all in one place.
✅ Within a week, they ditched spreadsheets completely.
✅ Reporting now takes under 2.5 hours/week
✅ Team collaboration became smoother, even on mobile

Here’s what they said:

“Honestly, I didn’t think software this lightweight could do so much. It's exactly what we needed — without the complexity.”

We didn’t plan to build this tool initially.
We were just solving our own problem in a family-run factory.

But now, we’re seeing real demand from other small-scale manufacturers who want to ditch Excel and WhatsApp for something cleaner.

We’re currently working on:

• Barcode-based inventory input

• Supplier management module

• AI-driven raw material forecasting
