The whole shop, at a glance.
TrackFinch is manufacturing software for small business that runs each job from quote to finished goods. Won quotes become orders and work orders, each job’s BOM (its parts list) works out what to buy before you run short, the floor works from the same plan, and stock updates when the job closes.

Purpose-built for
A Tuesday,
as TrackFinch sees it.
Follow one order through the shop. The quote, the work order, the shortage and the delivery all go on one record, so production tracking on the office screen and the phones on the floor reads from the same plan.
The dashboard has the day lined up: 4 open work orders, 1 of them overdue, 2 purchase orders in flight, none late, nothing low.
1 overdueAccept quote Q-0207 and it becomes sales order SO-0118, same part, qty and price. Open work order WO-0341 for it, and 24 brackets join the floor’s list.
confirmedThe .035 spools slip under their reorder point. One tap in Planning drafts a PO at your cheapest vendor’s price.
11 spools · reorder at 15
The bracket run clears CNC. One tap checks it off, logs the minutes, and leaves welding next on the list.
in progressPurchase order PO-0086 is at the dock. Receive 40 sheets of 3/16 plate and stock goes up by 40. The steel mill’s batch number is saved, so you can find it later.
receivedFinish the run. 48 gussets and 24 arms come off the count, and 24 mounting brackets go on, ready for SO-0118.
doneQuote, order, floor, shelf. One plan.
Most shops run a job from four places: the quote in email, the whiteboard, the parts shelf and someone's memory. In TrackFinch it's one record. Each work order knows its parts, whether they're on hand, and which station runs each step. Planning counts what's already on order before you buy more.
Production
A won quote turns into an order and its work orders. Planning reads your BOMs to work out what to make and buy, drafts the POs, and the floor checks off each step from the same plan.
MRP softwareInventory
Stock by location and by lot. Each lot keeps the supplier's lot number and can go on hold. Give an item a reorder point and Planning flags it before the shelf is empty, ready to draft the PO.
Manufacturing inventory softwareMachines & Tools
The machines your work orders run on. Service repeats on a set interval, so you book it between jobs, and each station shows its machine's status. Tools sign out too.
Machine and tool trackingType. Found.
One box searches parts, orders, work orders, POs and lots, then tools and people too. Press⌘K or Ctrl K anywhere and type a part name or a few digits of a number. A supplier’s lot number finds the lot too, which is how ourfood traceability software gets a food maker from a bad lot to every customer who got it.
Find out what you're short of before the floor does.
Thu 15:40Mercer Fab comes back for 36 more mounting brackets. Accept the quote and Planning has the job broken down: 72 gussets and 36 arms to make, and 3 lengths of flat bar to buy for the arms. Nobody finds the empty bar rack halfway through the run.
TrackFinch looks at every open order and works out each part it needs from its parts list (BOM), down to raw stock. It takes off what's on your racks, what's already ordered and what's being made. Whatever you're still short of gets a row with the reason: orders (a customer wants it), components (it goes into a job) or reorder point (the shelf is low).
One tap plans the work order or drafts the PO, rounded up to the supplier's minimum order. A draft stays a draft until you send it.

Sized for a shop of 3 to 50 people.
You plan the jobs on a spreadsheet, a whiteboard and memory. Most manufacturing software for small business turned out to be ERP, 6 months of setup and a sales call before a price. Keep the sheet while it holds up. Here's where it stops.
| Your shop | Spreadsheet | |
|---|---|---|
| A few products | Still enough | |
| One location | Still enough | |
| One shift | Still enough | |
| Sheet starts leaking | ||
| Orders sharing the same parts | Outgrown | |
| Assemblies built from sub-assemblies | Outgrown | |
| Jobs late for parts nobody ordered | Outgrown | |
TrackFinch isn't accounting or payroll, and there's no QuickBooks or Shopify connection. Keep your books where they are. You can export your whole workspace to CSV files any time, from Settings.
