Manufacturing software
Custom manufacturing software for Quebec SMBs
Build the operational layer between the shop floor, project costing, and management visibility.
DEVTom builds focused internal tools for manufacturers who need reliable time capture, job costing, project labor visibility, and production KPIs without forcing the shop into generic SaaS.
The pattern: capture first, visibility second
Manufacturing visibility rarely starts with a dashboard. It starts with the right operational data point captured at the right moment: employee, project, activity, and duration.
Once that data is reliable, it can support project labor reports, job costing, productivity targets, budget burn, and production KPI dashboards.
Manufacturing workflows we help modernize
Operational problems we solve
Recognize the spreadsheet chaos, duplicate entry, late reporting, disconnected tools, and visibility gaps that often sit around manufacturing workflows.
See operational problems →Shop-floor time tracking
Capture labor by employee, project, and activity with kiosk, NFC, or barcode-friendly workflows.
See time tracking →Project labor cost tracking
See labor burn by project and activity before fixed-price work turns into a margin surprise.
See project labor tracking →Job costing software
Connect estimates, activity-level labor, budget burn, and historical cost patterns.
See job costing →Excel or paper timesheet replacement
Move from manual timesheets to structured operational data that can feed reports and dashboards.
See timesheet replacement →Production KPI dashboards
Turn reliable shop-floor data into daily visibility for production, support work, and project budget burn.
See KPI dashboards →From pilot to production
Plan monitoring, fallback, and support before a factory workflow becomes operational infrastructure.
See production-readiness lessons →Signs your manufacturing data layer is too manual
- •time is captured after the work is done
- •paper or Excel is still the operational source of truth
- •project margin is only visible after invoicing
- •support work and productive work are mixed together
- •managers ask for updates instead of seeing live signals
- •historical data is too messy to improve future quotes
