The ERP for industrial SMEs: procurement, stock, maintenance and margin

A manufacturing SME constantly juggles material procurement, machine availability, work-in-progress tracking and the real margin of each finished product. eyeot brings these flows together in a single ERP: stock feeds requirements planning, the CMMS protects the production tool and finance consolidates costs. One database, no duplicate entry between disconnected tools.

Owners, production, purchasing and maintenance managers of small and medium-sized industries (mechanical, plastics, food processing, electronics, subcontracting) that want to unify production, stock, maintenance and management on a single platform, without stacking software.

The eyeot modules for this industry

What it changes for you

Master your procurement

Net requirements planning (Orlicky method) starts from stock, orders and supplier lead times to suggest or automatically generate purchase orders. FEFO management secures materials with lots or expiry dates.

Multi-site stock in real time

Track raw materials, work-in-progress and finished products across your different sites. Reservations, cycle counts and threshold alerts prevent the shortage that stops a production line.

Reduce machine downtime

The CMMS manages the preventive maintenance plan, curative work orders and calculates MTBF, MTTR and criticality per equipment. You anticipate breakdowns instead of suffering them.

Manage industrial projects

Gantt, critical path (CPM) and earned value (EVM) frame your industrialization, machine investment or R&D projects, with budget, resources and milestones tracked.

Margin and cash flow under control

Invoicing, payment tracking, budgets and cash-flow statements brought together. You know the real cost and margin of each product, not an approximate average.

Decide on consolidated data

The cross-module dashboard aggregates customer health, supplier performance, equipment criticality, ABC stock classification and revenue forecast, modules included.

A unified purchase-to-sale cycle

From the customer quote to the supplier order, through stock reservation and invoicing: everything lives in the same database, with no re-keying from one tool to another.

Compliance & trust

2026 e-invoicing (Factur-X)

France's business-to-business e-invoicing reform mandates a structured format. eyeot prepares your customer invoices in the Factur-X format and centralizes their archiving.

FEC export and audit trail

The finance module produces the FEC accounting entries file required by the French tax authorities, with traceable journals and audit trail for your accounting closings.

Frequently asked questions

Does eyeot replace my production ERP or production management system?
eyeot covers the purchase-to-sale cycle, multi-site stock, requirements planning (MRP), CMMS and finance of an industrial SME on a single database. It is built around the planning of procurement, stock and maintenance rather than fine shop-floor scheduling workstation by workstation. For many industrial SMEs, this scope is enough to replace an assembly of spreadsheets and separate software.
How does eyeot help me avoid raw material shortages?
The Supply module calculates net requirements (MRP Orlicky) from available stock, ongoing orders and supplier lead times, then suggests or automatically generates procurement orders. Threshold alerts and FEFO management by lot round out the coverage for date-sensitive materials.
Can I track my machines' availability and breakdowns?
Yes. The CMMS manages a preventive maintenance plan, curative work orders and automatically calculates MTBF (mean time between failures), MTTR (mean time to repair) and the criticality of each piece of equipment, to prioritize interventions on the production tool.
Does eyeot handle several production or storage sites?
Yes, eyeot is natively multi-site. Stock, reservations, inter-site transfers and movements are tracked site by site, with a consolidated view. Roles and permissions adapt to each site and each function (production, purchasing, maintenance, management).
Is my data and invoicing compliant?
Invoicing prepares the Factur-X format required by France's business-to-business e-invoicing reform, and the finance module exports the FEC. Data is hosted in Europe and entry traceability is ensured by an audit trail.
Do I have to activate all modules at once?
No, eyeot is modular. An industrial SME usually starts with stock, maintenance, finance and requirements planning, then adds project management and intelligence as it matures. Each module activates independently, without affecting the others.
