Klipboard's Role in Industrial Equipment Manufacturing

At Klipboard, we understand that industrial equipment manufacturing in South Africa operates in engineering-led, project-driven environments where accuracy and coordination are critical. Our ERP software for industrial machinery and equipment is designed to support complex operations, including multi-level Bills of Materials, controlled engineering changes, and long-cycle, project-based production. 

By integrating production planning, procurement, costing, and service management within a single ERP platform, Klipboard helps manufacturers reduce lead times, improve build quality, and maintain the documentation and traceability customers expect across local and export markets. 

The challenges you face

Manufacturing Challenges

We Understand the Challenges You're Facing

You’re not just building machines; you’re managing detailed engineering specifications, coordinating specialised suppliers, tracking extended production cycles, and meeting strict customer quality expectations. We work with industrial equipment manufacturers supplying mining, construction, agriculture, and infrastructure sectors, so we understand the realities you face:

  • Complex Multi-Level BOMs and Engineering Changes: Industrial equipment often involves deeply nested BOMs with hundreds of components. Managing engineering changes, revision control, and effectivity dates without disrupting active builds requires disciplined systems.

  • Long Production Cycles and Work-in-Progress Control: Builds can span weeks or months. Accurately tracking WIP, milestones, and actual costs against estimates throughout the project lifecycle is essential for control and reporting.

  • Quality Documentation and Traceability Requirements: Customers require detailed quality records, inspection results, and traceability throughout the build. Maintaining auditable documentation is critical for acceptance and future support.

  • After-Sales Service and Spare Parts Management: Equipment delivered today must be supported for years. Managing service histories, spare parts, and component records long after delivery adds ongoing operational complexity. 

We've seen it, we've heard it - and we've built Klipboard Manufacturing to help you take control of it.
