Features

Everything you need to run manufacturing operations

Connected inventory, BOMs, production, purchasing, capacity, costing, and reporting — built specifically for product brands that make what they sell.

BOMs & Manufacturing

Build, version, and run BOMs that keep up with reality.

From simple kits to multi-level assemblies — track every component, every version, and every change. Cost and margin update automatically.

Multi-level / nested BOMs

Sub-assemblies, kits, and finished goods all in one tree. Costs roll up automatically.

Yield % per BOM line Growth+

Set realistic scrap allowances per component. Material requirements reflect what you actually consume.

BOM versioning Growth+

Draft, publish, and roll back. Every change is captured — history never gets overwritten.

Side-by-side version comparison Growth+

See added, removed, and changed components at a glance — with the cost and margin impact spelled out.

BOM templates Growth+

Reuse common structures across product variants. Update the template once, propagate everywhere.

Production orders

Issue work orders, allocate components, and track each run from start to finish.

Component allocation engine

Allocates stock to orders automatically. Catches missing components before production starts.

Shop floor view Pro+

A clean read-only view of what's running, what's queued, and what's overdue across the floor.

Unique to Manuva: Yield %, BOM versioning with comparison, and templates — none of which Katana offers at any price.

Inventory

Stock counts you can actually trust.

Every movement logged. Every adjustment tracked. Bin-level locations mean nothing gets lost on the floor.

Component & raw material tracking

From bolts and fasteners to fabric and chemicals — track every input to your products.

Finished goods tracking

Stock counts that update automatically as production completes and orders ship.

Inventory movements ledger

A live log of every stock change — receipts, transfers, adjustments, consumption. Nothing disappears into thin air.

Stocktake & cycle counts

Run full stocktakes or partial cycle counts. Variance is captured and reconciled with one click.

Activity log

Who did what, when. Audit trail across every change in the system — for compliance and for sanity.

Low stock alerts

Configurable thresholds per component. Get warned before you run out, not after.

Bin & aisle locations Growth+

Tell your warehouse team exactly where each component lives. No more wandering around looking for stock.

Multi-warehouse Growth+

Run stock across multiple locations — main warehouse, satellite stockroom, 3PL. Move inventory between them with full traceability.

Purchasing & Suppliers

Purchase orders that close the loop.

Issue POs, receive deliveries, and surface what your suppliers actually deliver on time. Operational intelligence that competitors don't surface at this price point.

Purchase orders

Create POs against suppliers, send them out, and track them through to receipt.

Supplier management

Contacts, payment terms, lead times, and component pricing — all in one supplier record.

Goods inwards / receiving

Receive deliveries against POs. Capture discrepancies (short delivery, wrong items, damaged stock) the moment they arrive.

Lead-time tracking

Manuva measures promised vs actual lead times on every PO. Know which suppliers are reliable and which slip.

PO variance reporting

What you ordered vs what you received vs what you were invoiced. Catches errors before they hit the books.

Spend by supplier Growth+

See your total purchasing volume broken down by supplier, component, and time period.

Unique to Manuva: PO variance and lead-time accuracy reports — operational intelligence that Katana doesn't surface at any tier.
Capacity & Team · Pro

Plan production around the people who actually do the work.

Departments, staffing levels, hours available, and what each production run actually cost in labour. No competitor in this segment ships this module at this price.

Departments Pro+

Model your shop floor by department — assembly, finishing, packing, QC. Each with their own staffing and capacity.

Staffing levels Pro+

Set how many people work in each department, their hours, and their cost rates. Manuva builds your capacity from there.

Capacity planning Pro+

See your production load against available staff hours — week by week, department by department. Spot bottlenecks before they happen.

Actual vs planned time Pro+

Track time per production order. Compare against estimates. Improve your future planning with real data.

Staff costing Pro+

Roll labour costs into production economics. Know what each finished unit actually cost — components and people.

Utilisation reporting Pro+

See how much of your team's available time was actually consumed by production. Identify slack and overload.

Manuva-only at this price: Capacity planning with staff costing for $499/mo flat, unlimited users. MRPeasy charges per-user — a 10-person team hits $490/mo before any other features.
Costing & Profitability

Know your margin before the job starts.

Cost up your BOMs automatically. See margin per product. Watch profitability across the whole operation in real time.

Cost per unit Growth+

BOM rollup automatically calculates your finished-goods cost from component prices. Updates as supplier prices change.

Margin tracking per product Growth+

Sell price minus cost — for every product, every variant. See which SKUs are actually pulling their weight.

Inventory valuation Growth+

Live value of stock on hand — by component, by location, in total. The number you give your accountant at month-end.

COGS tracking Growth+

Cost of goods sold flows through automatically as orders ship. No spreadsheet reconciliation at month-end.

Financial profitability dashboard Pro+

Revenue, COGS, gross margin, and operating costs in one live view. The CFO summary you can pull up in 10 seconds.

Multi-cost allocation Pro+

Allocate labour, components, and overhead to each production run. True unit economics, not estimates.

Unique to Manuva: The financial profitability dashboard at Pro — Katana has no equivalent at any price.
Reports & Analytics

Operational intelligence, not last week's spreadsheet.

Live data on stock, supplier performance, PO accuracy, and dead stock — the reports that actually drive decisions.

Real-time dashboard

Open orders, components running low, fulfillment rate, and inventory value — all on one screen.

Stock on hand Growth+

Current balances across every component and finished good, filterable by location and category.

Inventory movements Growth+

Every stock change over a time range — receipts, consumption, transfers, adjustments.

Spend by supplier Growth+

Total purchasing volume broken down by supplier, component, and period.

PO variance

Ordered vs received vs invoiced. Surface the gaps your accounts team will catch eventually.

Lead-time accuracy

Promised vs actual lead times per supplier. Renegotiate from data, not gut feel.

Dead stock & slow-movers

Identify components and finished goods that haven't moved. Free up capital and floor space.

Inventory integrity audit

Surfaces phantom stock, negative balances, and reconciliation issues — before they corrupt your numbers.

Stocktake history

Every count, every variance, every reconciliation — preserved for audit.

Date range filtering Growth+

Every report scoped to any period — month, quarter, fiscal year, custom range.

PDF & CSV export Pro+

Every report exportable for board packs, accountants, and ad-hoc analysis.

Custom filters & segments

Slice every report by category, location, supplier, or any combination.

Unique to Manuva: PO variance, lead-time accuracy, and inventory integrity reports — operational intelligence buyers won't find in Katana, Qoblex, or Craftybase.
Shopify & Platform

Built around your Shopify store.

Real-time webhook sync, not nightly batch imports. Orders drive production. Inventory stays accurate across every channel.

Shopify product & variant sync

Products, variants, and inventory levels stay in sync between Manuva and Shopify automatically.

Webhook-driven real-time sync

Order created in Shopify → Manuva allocates in seconds. No lag, no overnight rebuild.

Order sync & allocation

Every Shopify order flows in, components allocate against stock, and production orders cascade — without anyone touching a spreadsheet.

Multiple Shopify stores Pro+

Run multiple brands or regional stores from a single Manuva account. Stock and orders consolidated.

REST API access Pro+

Full REST API for custom integrations, dashboards, or pulling Manuva data into your own tools.
