What is the step-by-step process for launching custom WMS/MES software?

We begin with an in-depth operational consultation to map out your factory layout, material workflows, BOM structures, and staff roles. I then provide a comprehensive architecture plan, scope breakdown, pricing quote, and timeline before development begins.

V-CMS 2.0 is my proprietary, high-performance PHP core framework. It provides a secure, lightweight architecture specifically optimized to process complex data flows such as FIFO inventory depletion, serialized item lifecycles, and BOM snapshots, without the bloat of generic software.

Is there a limit on how many employees can use the system?

No. There are no per-user licensing fees or artificial caps on active users, roles, or workstations. The software is built to scale with your business without increasing recurring software costs.

Do I own the software and source code?

Yes. Upon completion and payment, you own the delivered software. It is built using standard open-source technologies (PHP 8.4+, MariaDB/PostgreSQL, Tailwind CSS, HTMX), ensuring complete independence and long-term control over your system.

Do you provide hosting and infrastructure configuration?

For factory software, I handle the local physical server configuration, operating system hardening, network binding, and automated encrypted backup pipelines on your behalf.

What ongoing support is provided after launch?

The system includes 4 years of free bug fixes for the delivered code base to ensure financial predictability and long-term operational stability. Future feature additions or workflow adjustments are handled at a transparent hourly rate.

Discuss your project

Built strictly around human expertise and factory workflows

Generic ERP software forces your team to adapt their daily operations to rigid software modules. My solution is designed to fit your exact shop-floor layout and material movement. By streamlining raw material tracking, production recipes, and warehouse dispatching, your staff spends less time fighting spreadsheets and more time delivering products.

Absolute mathematical accuracy and database safety

Precision matters when calculating stock valuations and raw material depletion. Float data types in PHP can introduce silent rounding errors over time. By utilizing the BCMath extension and wrapping all stock movements inside isolated SQL transactions, your inventory balances, financial figures, and BOM snapshots remain 100% accurate under all conditions.

Complete data ownership and local network speed

Critical factory systems should never grind to a halt because of an external internet outage. I recommend and configure the system on physical on-premise servers within your local facility. This setup delivers ultra-fast local network responses while keeping your proprietary operational data entirely under your control, backed up automatically using the 3-2-1 rule.

Included in this starting price

Catalog, BOM & pricing architecture

Hierarchical product catalog supporting categories, subcategories, models, and custom variations
Automated item variation coding and flexible VAT calculations (standard, reduced, exempt)
Raw materials directory with supplier mapping, unit costs, and custom material attributes
Configurable Bills of Materials (BOM) recipes per product variation
Immutable BOM snapshots saved at the exact second a production order is launched

Warehouse management & FIFO inventory

Multi-warehouse hierarchy: zones, aisles, racks, shelves, and storage bins
Automated real-time FIFO (First-In, First-Out) stock depletion engine for raw materials and finished products
Multi-location stock transfers, low-stock threshold alerts, and real-time inventory visibility (available, allocated, reserved)
Complete audit history for every stock adjustment and physical movement

Unit serialization & item lifecycle tracking

Unique serialized barcode and QR code generation for every physical unit built
End-to-end lifecycle tracking: Created → In Production → Quality Check → Packaged → Shipped → Sold (plus Defective, Returned, or Cancelled)
Visual serial timeline tracking item location, current production step, and responsible operator

Production execution & shop-floor TV dashboards

Production order creation from initial customer demand to final completion
Configurable shop-floor execution steps matching your physical manufacturing line
Operator logging per production stage with precise timestamp tracking
Live TV dashboard feeds for factory floor monitors displaying real-time work-in-progress (WIP), active queues, and daily targets

QR scanning, POS & counter sales

Printable QR labels for raw material bins, finished product models, and individual serial numbers
Smartphone, tablet, and hardware scanner lookup for status checks and fast actions
Fast POS sales interface for desktop, tablet, or mobile devices
Instant sales completion with automatic bulk or serialized stock deductions and tax breakdowns

Logistics, reporting & security

Dedicated packaging and batch dispatch workflow separate from manufacturing
Executive dashboards featuring sales velocity, inventory valuation, material consumption, and production cycle times
Role-based access control (RBAC) for warehouse staff, sales reps, and production managers
Full system audit trail logging user actions, record edits, and status changes
Asynchronous scheduled jobs for automatic periodic reports and background calculations

Not included / quoted separately

Full enterprise accounting suites, HR modules, or payroll systems
Deep third-party accounting software integrations (e.g. custom legacy ERP syncs)
Custom external API endpoint implementations

Recommended hosting

To ensure maximum operational speed and continuous production uptime, I recommend deploying this software on a local physical server on-premise. Backup security follows the strict 3-2-1 backup strategy.

3 total copies of your production data. 2 different storage media types on site. 1 off-site copy stored in an encrypted cloud repository. Hardware specifications and server deployment requirements are calculated and provided alongside your final project quote.
