Live bill of materials for custom manufacturing
See who made what — live, not in a spreadsheet.
Incudio connects engineering, the shop floor, and the office around a live bill of materials. See real progress on every project and who made and inspected each part — no spreadsheets, no calls down to the shop floor.
Proven over 6 years in real production.
Problem
A BOM in a spreadsheet holds you back
Spreadsheets and paper work fine while the company is small. Then they start losing the one thing that matters most: visibility. Here are the four places it hurts the most.
You don't know how far along a project is
Progress is scattered across cells, people's heads, and a whiteboard. To know where a project really stands, you have to piece it together by hand — and an hour later it's already out of date.
You don't know who made and inspected a part
“Done” in a spreadsheet is just a cell. It carries no name, no time, no inspection. When something goes wrong later, there's no way to trace who made the part and who signed off on it.
Route sheets get lost, the overview lives in someone's head
A paper route sheet disappears, a key person is on holiday — and the overview goes with them. The company runs on a few people's memory instead of on a system.
Finding a part means digging
“Have we made this part before? On which job, how many pieces?” Scattered spreadsheets have no quick answer — just opening files and making phone calls.
How it works
How it works
Incudio builds your whole production around one live bill of materials. Every step that happens on the shop floor flows into project progress — automatically and instantly.
- 01Office
You create a project
A new job gets its own number and BOM. Numbering runs automatically — nothing to overwrite by hand.
- 02Engineering
Engineering fills in the BOM
Parts, materials, surface treatments, operations. The BOM looks the way you work — columns adapt to your company, not the other way around.
- 03Office
The office releases the project to production
Only a released job is visible to the shop floor. Until then it stays in preparation, and prices and details never reach production.
- 04Shop floor
The shop floor marks operations
A worker marks a finished operation with their personnel number. An inspector confirms it. The part turns green — and you know who made it and who inspected it.
- 05Shop floor
Project progress moves in real time
Every confirmed operation advances the whole job's progress. No manual tallying, no “go ask the shop floor.”
Three roles, one overview
The office sees everything including prices and releases jobs. Engineering prepares the BOMs. The shop floor sees only what it needs to make — no prices, no unreleased projects. Everyone sees exactly what they need.
Features
Key features
Everything a small manufacturing firm needs to run its jobs — and nothing extra to wade through.
Live bill of materials
A central list of parts, materials, and operations for every job. You see the status of each part in real time.
Projects and automatic numbering
Every job has its own number and year. Numbering runs itself — no manual rewriting, no collisions.
Operations with inspection
A worker marks an operation with their personnel number, an inspector confirms it. You have a record of who made each part and who inspected it.
Separate roles and release to production
Three roles (office, engineering, shop floor) with different access. The shop floor sees only released jobs; prices stay in the office.
Material database
Customers, suppliers, materials, and surface treatments in one place. Entered once, always on hand.
Search across jobs
Find a part across every project at once — where it was used, on which job, and how many pieces.
Deadline indicators
Approaching and overdue deadlines are visible at a glance. No job slips through.
Copy a project
Copy a recurring job along with its BOM and don't start from scratch.
Export and notifications
Export your data to a spreadsheet when you need it elsewhere. Incudio emails you when a job is released and when it's completed.
Apps
Apps
Extend Incudio with more tools as your company grows. The core stays simple — you add only what you'll actually use.
Gantt — project schedule
The phases of a job and their dependencies in a clear schedule. See what's running, what's next, and where it might stall.

Why Incudio
Why Incudio for custom manufacturing
There's no shortage of project tools. Few of them understand how custom, build-to-drawing manufacturing actually works. Incudio is built exactly for it.
Built for jobs, not stock
Incudio revolves around the project and its BOM — custom and small-batch, build-to-drawing work. Not around stock levels and repeat products.
Simple for the shop floor
A worker enters a personnel number and clicks. No training, no menus to get lost in. A system the shop floor actually uses.
Adapts to your BOM
The columns and structure of the BOM follow the way you work. You don't adapt to the software — the software adapts to you.
No big-system bloat
No months-long implementation, no modules you'll never use. Incudio handles production and the BOM, not your whole company — which is what makes it fast to deploy.
Your data, your rules
Hosted by us in the cloud, or on your own server — whichever suits your company. More in the section below.
Deployment
Deployment and data security
Your production data — bills of materials, customers, materials — is sensitive. So you choose where it lives.
Cloud
Recommended for most firmsWe host it, you just log in. No server, no maintenance. Data is in the EU, access is encrypted and separated by role, and sensitive actions are logged.
Managed — on your server
Incudio runs on your server or VPS; we take care of operations and updates. Your data never leaves your infrastructure.
Self-hosted — full control
On requestFor firms with strict data policies. Incudio runs entirely in your environment, under your administration.
Your data is yours
Whichever model you choose, one thing holds: your production data belongs to you. You decide where it's stored and who has access.
Reference
A real customer, not a prototype
Incudio isn't a new app looking for its first user. It was built and has run for six years in a real manufacturing company — developed directly with them, on their day-to-day work. What you see has been tried on the shop floor, not on paper.
Pricing
Pricing
Every manufacturing firm is different — in size, in how many people are on the shop floor, and in how it wants to run Incudio. So we set pricing to fit, not from a price list.
