Can I track work in progress between departments and outside processors?

Yes. Each batch carries a process card, and each department records what came in and what went out. Material sent to an outside processor is logged with a gate pass and checked when it returns.

Is this MRP software for a small business?

It covers what a small plant uses MRP for: what to buy and make for the orders you have, from your bills of materials and your stock. You decide how far the planning goes, and it grows when you need more.

Does it work for OEM and contract manufacturing?

Yes. Each customer can have its own part numbers mapped to your SKUs, its own price list and its own label format, so orders, documents and cartons carry the codes the customer expects.

Can it print proformas, packing lists and labels?

Yes. Documents are generated as PDFs from the order, the shipment and its cartons, with your layout. Because they come from the same record, the quantities match across documents.

Can my store keeper use it on a phone or a tablet?

Yes. Gufi works on mobile, and apps can be built for a small screen: a receipts screen for the store, a dispatch screen for the loading bay.

Can I bring in my existing item list and stock?

Yes. Import your SKUs, customers, suppliers and opening stock from Excel or CSV. Your AI can also clean and match the data as it imports it.

We work under ISO 9001 or ISO 13485. Does that work?

Gufi is not a certified quality system on its own; certification is for your quality management system. What you build here holds the records your procedures ask for: document revisions, approvals, print logs, batch history and an audit trail of every change.

ERP for small manufacturers

ERP for small manufacturers, built around your shop floor

Bills of materials, purchasing, stores, work in progress, production planning and export paperwork. Describe how your plant runs and your AI builds it in Gufi, one table and one screen at a time. The first app works in the first hour.

What gets in the way today

What a plant of 10 to 50 people runs into when the system is a spreadsheet, paper cards or an ERP built for someone bigger.

Nobody knows where the batch is

Material goes out for heat treatment, comes back, moves through grinding, polishing and QC. On paper process cards and a spreadsheet, the question "how many are at polishing right now?" takes a walk round the factory.

Customers order with their own part numbers

OEM and contract customers send orders with their codes, not yours. Matching them by memory is how the wrong finish ends up in the wrong carton.

Proformas, packing lists and labels typed three times

The same order is written into a proforma, then a planning sheet, then a packing list and the carton labels. Each copy is another chance for a quantity or a price to be wrong.

Big ERP was built for a bigger company

Manufacturing ERPs price per seat and expect you to adopt their routing model. A plant of 20 people does not need a six-month implementation to know its stock.

How it gets built

Your AI does the building. Gufi is where it lives: the database, the apps, the automations and the people who use them.

1
Sign up
Create your company in Gufi. It gets its own database, separate from every other company. The trial needs no card.
2
Connect your AI
Add Gufi as a connector in Claude or ChatGPT. It is one address to paste; the Connect AI screen in Gufi walks you through it.
3
Describe how you work
Say what you sell, what you buy, what you hold and who does what. Your AI creates the tables, the screens and the automations, and you see each one appear in Gufi.
4
Bring your team
Invite everyone who needs it, each with a role that shows them only their part. Adding people does not add a licence.

What your system does on its own

1
When a goods received note is saved, raw material stock goes up, and the rejected quantity is logged against the supplier.
2
When a batch is sent out for plating or heat treatment, a gate pass is printed and the batch shows as out; when it comes back, the quantity returned is checked against the quantity sent.
3
Each process records quantity in and quantity out, so WIP per department is a live number, not a count at the end of the week.
4
A new revision of a proforma keeps the previous one, and the planning sheet follows the latest approved revision.
5
Every carton label prints the customer's own part number from the OEM mapping, next to your SKU and the batch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. A bill of materials is a table that links each finished item to its components and quantities, and a process route is the list of processes an item goes through. Your AI builds both from how you describe your products.
