Engineer-to-order and custom manufacturers don't repeat a catalogue — every order is engineered once. Fast Project Management runs each order as a project: a work breakdown of tasks on a Gantt, a per-task Bill of Resources for material, labour and machine, cost estimation against budget, store issue against a task, and a resource-itemised bill by project or milestone.
Every order is engineered once, with its own design and task list. Forced into a catalogue BOM run it loses its structure, and planners fall back to spreadsheets that nobody else can see.
The estimate lives in one file, the material issued in another, and labour and machine time nowhere. By delivery nobody can say whether the order made money or lost it.
Without a WBS and a Gantt, "how far along is order 114?" is answered by walking the shop. Dependencies slip silently and a late engineering task quietly delays fabrication.
Long jobs need staged payment, but without resource-itemised, task-keyed bills a progress or milestone claim is rebuilt by hand each time — and rarely ties back to what was actually done.
Every custom order follows the same controlled path, whatever it is engineered to build — so the shop runs on a plan and a Bill of Resources, not on memory and slips.
Fast Project Management gives ETO and custom-manufacturing teams the order control they keep trying to build with quote sheets and spreadsheets — with the costing and progress measurement built in.
Open each order as a project with its own customer, type, budget and lifecycle — it lives under the Active tab until it is Completed, moving through On Hold and back as needed. Then break it into a work breakdown of tasks: engineering, procurement, fabrication, assembly, inspection — each with an owner, an assigned user, a priority, a progress %, and predecessor dependencies that define the sequence.
Open the project's Gantt Chart view and every task appears as a bar positioned by its start, finish and duration, with predecessor links showing the sequence. Drag the dates until the schedule is right; a resource-wise Project Gantt Chart shows the same plan by who or what is loaded. Each task keeps its own task log and file attachments — drawings, approvals, site photos — so the schedule and its evidence live together.
Every task gets a three-level Bill of Resources: a header (task quantity and unit), the process or parameters within it, and the actual material, labour and machine resource lines, each priced from the Resource master with a quantity and rate. Cost estimation rolls the whole BOR up to an estimated task and project cost, and the BOR cost analysis breaks it down by resource — both comparable against the budget on the project and task header.
Draw material from stock against a task through the shared store and issue engine, and raise a project purchase requisition for bought-out items — so planned BOR consumption turns into real stock movement and real actual cost. As work proceeds, update task progress %, record dated entries in the task log, and read the project MIS: estimated versus actual by task, progress roll-up, and schedule status across the order.
Raise a project bill against the order and party, with resource-itemised lines keyed to tasks — so you bill by project, by resource, or by milestone, including progress and RA bills for a defined stage. Subcontractor and supplier bills are passed and cleared against their purchase order, and every bill prints as a document. Ask Dhruv AI which orders are over budget, in plain English.
Project master with owner, customer, type, dates, budget and progress, and Active / Inactive / On Hold / Completed lifecycle tabs across every open order.
Work-breakdown tasks with owner, assigned user, priority and progress %, predecessor dependencies, dated task logs and file attachments.

Per-task header → process → resource BOR with material, labour and machine lines, cost estimation and BOR cost analysis against budget.
Resource master of machines, labour and tools with rate, working hours and efficiency, grouped and categorised, feeding every task BOR.
Resource-itemised bills by project, resource or milestone, progress and RA bills, subcontractor bill passing against PO, and a printable bill.
Yes. Each order is created as a project with its own customer, type, dates and budget, then broken into a WBS of tasks with owners, priorities, progress % and predecessor dependencies.
Every task carries a header → process → resource BOR of material, labour and machine lines, each priced from the Resource master with a quantity and rate — the project-side analogue of a BOM.
Yes. Cost estimation rolls each task BOR up to an estimated cost and BOR cost analysis breaks it by resource — both comparable against the budget on the project and task header.
Material is issued from stock against a task on the shared store engine, and a project purchase requisition covers bought-out items — so planned BOR becomes real stock movement and actual cost.
Yes. Project billing raises resource-itemised bills keyed to tasks — by project, resource or milestone, including progress and RA bills — with subcontractor bill passing against PO.
