One system that sees your BOM, your shop floor, and your books at the same time.
Most SMB manufacturers run production planning in one tool, inventory in another, and finance in a third, then spend hours each week reconciling the three. Yukti runs them as one connected system from the start, which is the core reason manufacturers move to it.
The Real Workflows Behind Process & Discrete Manufacturing ERP
One BOM structure for discrete, batch, or both
- BOM supports multi-level structures with component substitutions and cost rollup
- Works for discrete assembly, batch process manufacturing, or a mix of both
- Work orders track material consumption and labor hours in real time
Routing and shop floor control in real time
- Routing defines the sequence of operations across work centers
- Shop floor control gives real-time visibility into what's actually happening
- Not what the schedule assumed would happen
Shortages become a purchase suggestion, not a phone call
- A mid-shift shortage normally means a stalled work order and a rushed, costly call to a supplier
- Material requirements and purchasing run on the same platform
- A flagged shortage generates a purchase suggestion tied to the specific job
Stock valuation updates as production happens
- A completed work order updates finished goods stock and cost of goods sold automatically
- Work in progress is valued and tracked as real inventory mid-process
- Raw material POs trigger off actual production schedules and lead times, not a static reorder point
How the Pieces Connect
One connected record instead of four separate entries
- Separate tools for production, inventory, and finance mean three versions of the truth to align manually
- A work order, the material it consumes, the finished good, and the replenishing PO are one record
A shop floor shortage becomes a requisition automatically
- A shop floor shortage becomes a purchase requisition automatically
- No one re-types a part number into a second system
Real-time costing instead of a month-end estimate
- Stock valuation updates as production transactions post
- Cost of goods sold, WIP value, and margin by product are current numbers, pullable mid-week
- Not a report accurate only as of the last manual reconciliation
One AI agent working across production, stock, and the books
This is where AI-native architecture matters most for a general manufacturer: the production scheduling agent isn't bolted onto a standalone MRP tool.
Sees material availability, work center capacity, and financial cost data as one picture
Bases scheduling recommendations on what's actually in stock
Factors in what production actually costs, not a stale estimate
Avoids relying on a snapshot from whatever system last synced

Common Questions
We currently run production in a spreadsheet and inventory and accounting in separate software. What actually changes if we move to Yukti?
The biggest change is that a work order, the material it consumes, and the resulting finished goods stock become one record instead of three separate entries you reconcile by hand. A completed work order updates inventory and cost of goods sold automatically, so you're not re-keying the same production data into a spreadsheet and then again into accounting software.
Does Yukti automatically create a purchase order when a work order reveals we're short on a raw material?
A shortage flagged during production generates a purchase suggestion tied to the specific job that needs it, so reordering doesn't depend on a manager noticing the shelf is empty or remembering to check a static reorder point that may not reflect what's actually queued up on the shop floor.
How does stock valuation update as production happens? Do we still need a month-end inventory reconciliation?
Stock valuation updates as production transactions post, consuming raw material and producing finished or semi-finished goods, so cost of goods sold and margin reports reflect current numbers rather than a snapshot from the last manual reconciliation. That doesn't eliminate periodic stock counts for accuracy, but it removes the need for a month-end batch process just to know what production actually cost.
We run some products as discrete assembly and others as batch process manufacturing. Do we need two different systems, or does one handle both?
One system handles both. Bill of materials, work orders, and routing support discrete assembly, batch process manufacturing, or a mix, so you're not forced to pick a production model the software assumes and work around it for whichever products don't fit.
What happens to a product that's partially built, is that tracked as inventory or is it invisible until it's finished?
Work in progress is tracked and valued as real inventory as it moves through a multi-stage process, not just at the moment a final operation completes. That matters for an accurate stock and cost picture at any point mid-production, not only at the two endpoints of raw material and finished goods.
Where a Simpler Tool Might Be Right
A business that buys finished goods and resells them, with no in-house production step, doesn't need bill of materials or work order tracking. A distribution-focused setup fits that model better than a manufacturing module built around a production process that doesn't exist in your business. This page is for businesses that actually make something, whichever process gets them there.
