Discrete Manufacturing
Built for auto components manufacturers, not generic ERP.
Quote response takes days. Traceability is manual.
The Leak Assessment: 30 minutes, and a written plan within 48 hours, whether or not you hire us.
Cluxn builds custom ERP, dealer portals and production dashboards for auto components manufacturers with 50–500 employees. Quoting, batch traceability and order status stop depending on one person or one spreadsheet. A website typically takes 4 weeks and custom ERP about 6 months, at a fixed price in writing after a 30-minute Leak Assessment.
Auto Components & Parts: common problems
What it's costing you.
Untraceable Batches
Traceability tied to your customer's line, but your records are manual — identifying a suspect batch takes days
Manual Quoting
RFQs arrive by email or text and depend on one person to quote — nobody else can see status or history
No Order Status Visibility
Real-time production order status unknown to accounts and dispatch — status calls interrupt the shop floor all day
Quality Holds Missed at Dispatch
Quality holds and dispatch are not linked — suspect batches ship before sign-off arrives
Standards and documents Auto Components & Parts buyers ask about
What buyers check.
IATF 16949
The quality management standard automotive customers expect their suppliers to work to. Cluxn builds the records and workflows that hold its documentation; it does not certify you.
PPAP (AIAG)
Production part approval documents submitted to the customer before supply starts and after changes.
APQP, FMEA and control plans
Core quality-planning documents that need revision control and an owner.
Batch and lot traceability
Customers ask suppliers to identify the batch behind a suspect part quickly.
