AI built for light and custom manufacturing.
Replace disconnected CRM, inventory, purchasing, production, spreadsheets, and accounting tools with one AI that connects customers, sales orders, products, simple bills of material, manufacturing orders, inventory, lot and serial tracking, billing, and financial reporting.
Common Industry Challenges
Customer requirements and sales orders often have to move manually into purchasing, production, inventory, billing, and accounting.
Components, finished goods, receipts, movements, locations, and costs need to remain visible as materials move through the business.
Missing components, late purchases, vendor costs, and inaccurate receipts can delay work and change the economics of an order.
Products, customer requirements, configurations, documentation, and internal processes often vary from order to order.
Manufacturers may need to know which lots or serialized items were received, built, held, moved, sold, or delivered.
Light and custom manufacturers often need strong inventory, purchasing, production, and accounting without sophisticated shop-floor routing, capacity planning, or enterprise-scale MRP.
Fragmented systems make it difficult to understand what is being built, what is available, what needs to be purchased, what has shipped, and how the business is performing.
How Zablen solves these problems
Keep customers, sales orders, products, manufacturing activity, inventory, purchasing, invoices, payments, and accounting connected.
Use single-level bills of material and manufacturing orders for light assembly, kitting, and custom production processes that do not require complex shop-floor routing.
Manage vendors, purchase orders, receipts, bills, approvals, and payments alongside the products and components the business needs.
Track inventory movements, warehouses, locations, bins, weighted-average costing, serialized items, and lot-controlled inventory.
Use serialization and lot control to track products and components where traceability is important.
Create custom fields, data tables, forms, automations, scripts, and AI skills around customer, product, quality, documentation, or operational requirements unique to the business.
Because Zablen connects commercial, inventory, production, purchasing, and financial data, AI can answer questions and perform work using information from across the company.
