What it is
An order management system for a manufacturer is a web app that records production orders, tracks each through the make-to-order stages, and stores customer, specification, and line-item details in one database. It replaces travelers and spreadsheets with a shared view of what is in the queue, in production, and ready to ship.
What your manufacturer order management tracks
Every field below is one you can add, rename, or remove by chatting with Kleap — a starting point tuned for manufacturer.
Work order number
A unique ID for each production order that the shop floor and office both reference from quote to delivery.
Customer PO
The buyer's purchase-order reference recorded on the order so shipments and paperwork reconcile cleanly.
Production status
Stages like Queued, In production, QC, and Ready to ship that show exactly where each job sits in the build.
Specifications
The build details, dimensions, materials, or drawings reference for the order, so production makes to the right spec.
Line items
Each part or product, quantity, and agreed price so the run size and the order value are both exact.
Due date
The promised ship or completion date stored on the order to sequence the production queue and flag at-risk jobs.
Assigned to
The team or workstation responsible for the current stage, so it is always clear who owns the job right now.
Rework flag
A note marking a job that failed QC and must loop back, so it is tracked rather than quietly re-entering the queue.

Frequently asked questions
Is this an MRP or ERP system?+
No, it is a focused web app for tracking production orders and their status, not a full MRP with inventory planning or a shop-floor machine integration. It gives you a shared, current view of every job from queue to shipped. It is deliberately lightweight and owned by your team.
Can the shop floor and office see the same job status?+
Yes. It is one shared web database, so when a station marks a job In production or Ready to ship, the office sees it immediately and can update the customer. No traveler sheets or status phone calls between the floor and the desk.
How does it handle a job that fails inspection?+
Each order has a rework flag and QC status, so a failed job is marked and looped back into the queue with a note on why. It stays visible as rework rather than silently restarting, which keeps your first-pass yield numbers honest.
Can it prioritize the production queue by due date?+
Yes. Every order carries a due date, so the dashboard can sort and highlight jobs at risk of missing it. The production lead sequences work off that shared view rather than a whiteboard only one shift can see.
