The problem

Your production team is managing spreadsheets, not production.

Manufacturing back-office operations are complex and unforgiving. A late PO, inaccurate inventory record or missed vendor communication can halt an entire production line, the exact risk manufacturing back office services are built to remove.

Supply chain records are always behind

Goods received, materials consumed and finished goods produced tracked manually mean inventory data is never accurate when you need it.

Inaccurate stock data causes avg. 11% inventory overstock

Purchase orders create bottlenecks

PO creation, approval routing and vendor confirmation handled manually — a slow cycle means production waits for materials that could have been ordered days earlier.

Manual PO processing averages £50–£80 per order cost

Vendor communication is fragmented

Delivery confirmations, quality issues, price changes and lead time updates managed across email inboxes with no central record — issues emerge only when it's too late.

1 in 8 production delays is caused by vendor comms failures

Compliance documentation is always incomplete

Quality control records, material certificates, ISO documentation and audit trails managed manually create risk during every external audit.

ISO non-conformances cost avg. £15K per incident to resolve

The workflow

From purchase order to production record — automated.

Every procurement and supply chain event flows through a structured Manufacturing Outsourcing Services process — nothing gets missed, every deadline is tracked.
