#Manufacturing & Production

From order to invoice, fully connected

IDup gives manufacturers one platform for customers, orders, production costs, purchasing, staff and accounting — so the cost of what you make is a number you can read, not one you estimate.

Manufacturing decisions are only as good as the cost data behind them. Material prices move, subcontractor invoices arrive late, machine and labour hours are recorded in a shop-floor notebook, and the accounting system finds out about all of it weeks after the parts have shipped. By the time a product line is shown to be unprofitable, several months of it have already been sold.

IDup closes that gap. Purchase invoices are read and booked by AI with the document attached, hours and costs are captured against the order as they occur, customer invoices go out on delivery with automatic reminders, and payroll feeds the books directly. Cost and margin per order, product and customer are current — while there is still a decision worth making.

Trusted by 1,000+ teams worldwide

Employee dashboard with attendance, leave and announcements

Everything in one login

Customers, orders, purchasing, production costs, staff and accounting in one platform instead of a spreadsheet for costing, a folder for supplier invoices and an accounting package that lags behind.

One record per order means the quote, the materials, the hours, the delivery and the invoice all reference the same job.

One dashboard

Open orders, costs, margin and unpaid invoices on a single screen.

Cloud & mobile

Capture costs and hours on the shop floor and approve from anywhere, on any device.

Dashboard with payment overview and transaction history

Let AI do the busywork

Supplier invoices and delivery notes are read, coded and booked automatically with the document attached, including due dates and early-payment discounts.

Ask IDup AI what an order actually cost, which supplier raised prices or which orders are unbilled — in plain language, without building a report.

AI-assisted

Purchase invoices and receipts read, coded and allocated to the right order.

Automated

Recurring orders, invoicing, reminders and reporting run themselves.

HR dashboard with job statistics and employee status

Connected end to end

A quote becomes an order, the order accumulates material, labour and subcontractor cost, the delivery becomes an invoice, and the payment books itself — without re-entry at any step.

That is what makes post-calculation trivial: the comparison between quoted and actual cost is already assembled when the order closes.

GDPR-compliant

Customer and staff data encrypted on secure servers worldwide, with granular permissions.

Scales with you

From a workshop to several sites and entities, each with its own workspace.

Core Features

True cost per order

Material, labour, machine and subcontractor cost booked against the order as it happens, so quoted and actual cost can be compared while the next quote is still being written.

Purchasing without typing

Supplier invoices and delivery notes read by AI and booked to the right order and account, with payment terms and discounts visible before they expire.

Staff, hours and payroll

Shop-floor hours feed both order costing and payroll, so the same entry serves cost control and salary without a second system.

Invoice on delivery

Turn a completed order into a customer invoice immediately with online payment attached, and let automatic reminders shorten the time to cash.

More production, less administration

IDup automates the routine — purchase invoices, cost allocation, invoicing, chasing — so office capacity goes into planning and customers rather than data entry.

In manufacturing, administrative delay is not just a cost; it is a blind spot. Decisions about pricing, capacity and purchasing are made on figures that are weeks old and therefore already wrong.

Removing the delay improves the decisions, not only the workload — which is where the real return sits in a margin-sensitive business.

Everything in view, anytime

Open orders, cost against quote, margin, purchasing and cash — clearly in one place, on desktop and mobile.

You can see which products and customers genuinely earn, where material cost has moved since the price list was set, which orders are running over their calculation and when cash will be tight.

Every figure drills down to the entries and documents behind it, so a surprising margin ends in an explanation rather than an argument.

Post-calculation that happens by itself

Almost every manufacturer knows it should compare quoted cost with actual cost on every order. Almost none do it consistently, because the data lives in four places and assembling it takes longer than the insight seems to be worth — until a whole product line turns out to have been priced wrong for a year.

The obstacle is purely mechanical. Material costs sit in supplier invoices, labour in a timesheet, subcontracting in a separate invoice, and the quote in a spreadsheet.

IDup collects all four against the order automatically as they occur. When the order closes, the comparison already exists — so pricing, purchasing and capacity decisions rest on what production actually costs rather than on what it cost when the price list was last reviewed.

Everything else is already included

You don’t pay extra for the rest of the platform. The same login gives you accounting with AI receipt capture, invoicing and online payments, tax filing, annual statements and financial reports, a full CRM with leads, estimates and contracts, projects, tickets, a client portal, employee and payroll management, permissions and multi-tenant workspaces.

It also gives you the modern layer most production tools don’t have: IDup AI as an assistant, an AI chatbot for your website, automated workflows, a social media agent, marketing campaigns and a shared inbox for WhatsApp, SMS, email and social.

So sales, production, purchasing, wages and the books run on one login — in 27 languages, in 20 currencies, GDPR-compliant, on secure servers worldwide, on desktop and in the mobile app.
