Control Stock. Know Your Costs. Manage production, inventory and accounts together with BUSY. Production & BOM Inventory Management GST Compliance ## Manage Your Manufacturing Unit Better with BUSY ### Plan Orders Better Before confirming an order, check how much material is required and how much is available. BUSY helps you see shortages in advance, so you can plan purchases and production accordingly. ### Avoid Material Shortages Check raw material stock before production starts. If any item is short, you can identify it early and arrange it before work gets delayed. ### Track WIP See how much material has gone into production, what is still being made, and what has become finished stock. This helps you know where your stock is at every stage. ### Know Production Cost See the cost of material used, labour, other production expenses, wastage and scrap. This helps you understand what it actually costs to make each product. ### Track Job Work Keep track of material sent outside for cutting, machining, printing, polishing or other work. See what was sent, what has come back and what is still pending with each job worker. ### Control Wastage & Scrap Record wastage, scrap and by-products during production instead of adjusting them later as stock differences. This helps you understand where material is being lost. ### Simplify GST Dispatch Create GST invoices, e-invoices and e-way bills from the same transaction in BUSY. This reduces repeated entry when goods are ready for dispatch. ### Manage Multiple Godowns Keep separate stock records for your raw material store, production floor, finished goods godown or other locations. You can also record stock transfers and check stock location wise. ## Everything You Need to Run a Factory Production, stock, job work, billing and accounting are all linked.

Our stock register and production register never matched. Every month started with two people sitting and matching figures by hand. Now the production entry updates stock on its own, so any difference shows up the same day. Rakesh Agarwal Owner, Engineering Unit, Ludhiana "I know exactly what is lying with each job worker" We send material out for plating and machining every week. Earlier it went out of our books the day it left the gate, and we found the shortage only at stock-taking. Now the challan we issue is matched with what comes back, job worker wise. Sunil Mehta Director, Auto Parts Manufacturer, Pune "We stopped fixing rates on guesswork." Costing was always a month-end estimate, so we were quoting on old material rates. Now the cost includes actual material used, wastage, labour and overhead. I check it before giving a rate to the buyer. Anil Shah Partner, Plastic Products Manufacturer, Ahmedabad ## Frequently asked questions ### What is manufacturing accounting software?
