Every job milestone visible from one screen — no phone calls, no floor walks to check status.
Automated Notifications
Status updates fire at each stage automatically. Customers and supervisors informed without manual intervention.
QC Flag System
Quality holds trigger before a job moves to the next stage, preventing rework and production waste.
Bottleneck Dashboard
Management sees production constraints in real time, not in the end-of-shift report.
What This Replaces
Before. After.

By The Numbers
Enquiry response time
Manual data entry (hrs/week)
Floor walk-downs per shift
Why Cluxn
The third option.
Manufacturing-Only Context
We don't take on generic IT projects. Every engagement is in a production environment — which means we've already seen your problem before we start.
Outcome-Measured Delivery
We define measurable success criteria before we build. You have a number to hold us to — not just a feature list delivered and declared done.
No Rip-and-Replace
We integrate with what you already have. The right tool for your scale, connected to your existing stack — no new system justified by the sale.
Accountable After Go-Live
The engagement doesn't end at launch. We stay on to monitor adoption, fix edge cases, and ensure the solution actually gets used on the floor.

Case Studies
The result in practice.
4 min
from 30 min
Customer enquiries about job status took 30 minutes to resolve — floor supervisor had to physically check boards and call back
real-time
from floor walk
Production scheduling lived on a whiteboard — supervisors had no job status visibility without walking the floor
0
from 12/month
QC hold notifications sent via WhatsApp — 2–3 jobs per week advanced past a hold flag before the message was seen
Client Results
What manufacturers say.
“Our field sales team was submitting handwritten order forms at the end of the day. Order entry was delayed 12–18 hours after the customer visit. Cluxn built a mobile order entry app with offline capability. Field orders are entered at the customer's premises and synced immediately. Our dispatch team sees orders the same day they are taken.”

“We had a server that had not been backed up properly in 9 months. We found out when a hard drive failed. We lost a month of data. Cluxn audited our entire infrastructure and implemented a proper backup and recovery system. Nothing has been lost since.”

“Our B2B buyers were calling sales for pricing, emailing for specs, then calling again to place orders. A simple reorder could take 3 days. Cluxn built a dealer portal where they see live pricing, download specs, and place orders in one session. Average order processing time dropped from 3 days to 20 minutes.”

“We had data in our ERP but nobody used it for decisions. Reports took an hour to run and were always out of date by the time they printed. Cluxn built a live dashboard. Now the production floor, stores, and management all see the same numbers in real time.”

“Our previous ERP implementation failed — the consultant left mid-project and the system was only 40 percent configured. Cluxn assessed what was salvageable, migrated the data properly, and configured the remaining modules in 10 weeks. We have been live for 6 months with zero unresolved issues.”

“Our costing was done manually in Excel, pulling data from four different places. Quotes took 3–4 days. Cluxn built a costing engine that pulls live rates and calculates in minutes. We are winning jobs we used to miss because our response was too slow.”

“Our purchase order approval process had four people in an email chain. An urgent PO could take 3 days to get approved. Cluxn automated the approval workflow with escalation rules. Urgent POs now approve in under 2 hours.”

“We used to get 2–3 RFQs a month through referrals. The new site ranks for our product category and we now receive 15–20 qualified RFQs every month. Two of our largest current customers found us through Google.”

FAQ
Common questions.
Most manufacturers with 50–500 employees run on shared Excel files and WhatsApp groups — and it works until it doesn't. A single corrupted file, a missed WhatsApp message about a QC hold, or three people editing the same spreadsheet simultaneously causes errors that compound into real production and financial loss. Custom software eliminates these failure points.
Custom manufacturing software is built specifically for your operation — your workflow, your job stages, your approval process. Unlike off-the-shelf ERP, it doesn't force your team to adapt to a generic system. Your team uses it from day one because it matches how they already work.
Cost depends on the number of workflows being automated and the integration complexity. Manufacturers typically recover the cost within 6–12 months through reduced manual hours, fewer errors, and faster customer response times.
A focused system covering 3–5 core workflows — job tracking, QC flags, status notifications — typically takes 8–14 weeks from mapping to deployment. Complexity increases with integrations to existing ERP or accounting systems.
Yes. Most manufacturing custom software is built to integrate with existing systems rather than replace them. If your ERP handles finance but not shop-floor visibility, custom software fills that gap without disrupting what already works.
