Solve Discrete Manufacturing Pain Points with AutoSimply Manufacturing Suite for Sage 300
AutoSimply Manufacturing Suite for Sage 300 helps discrete manufacturers improve production planning, bill of materials control, work-in-progress tracking, material usage, shop floor visibility, quality control and manufacturing productivity from within a Sage 300 ERP environment.
Why Discrete Manufacturers Need More Than Basic Inventory and Accounting
Discrete manufacturers often manage complex production requirements involving raw materials, sub-assemblies, finished goods, bills of materials, routing steps, work centres, quality checks and customer delivery commitments. When production is managed using spreadsheets or disconnected systems, teams may struggle with inaccurate material planning, unclear WIP, delayed production updates and unreliable costing.
AutoSimply Manufacturing Suite helps Sage 300 users connect manufacturing operations with inventory, purchasing, sales and finance workflows.
By extending Sage 300 with manufacturing order processing, production planning, shop floor control and quality control capabilities, AutoSimply helps manufacturers reduce manual work, improve production visibility and make better operational decisions.
Common Discrete Manufacturing Pain Points AutoSimply Helps Resolve
AutoSimply Manufacturing Suite is designed to help manufacturers overcome daily operational issues that affect production efficiency, inventory accuracy, delivery performance and profitability.
Manual BOM and Production Tracking
Manufacturers often rely on spreadsheets to manage bills of materials, revisions, production requirements and material usage. AutoSimply helps create a more structured manufacturing environment by managing BOMs, manufacturing orders, routing details and production-related transactions within Sage 300.
Unclear Material Requirements
Without proper production planning, teams may not know which materials are required, when they are needed or whether stock is sufficient. AutoSimply Production Planning helps support MPS and MRP planning by using demand, stock, purchasing and manufacturing information to improve material planning.
Work-in-Progress Visibility Gaps
When production stages are not updated clearly, management may not know what is in progress, what has been consumed or what remains unfinished. AutoSimply helps improve WIP visibility by tracking material issue, consumption, scrap, production progress and closeout activities.
Inaccurate Manufacturing Costs
Production costs can be difficult to calculate when material, labour, overhead and routing information are tracked separately. AutoSimply helps manufacturers improve costing visibility by supporting routing cost calculation, material consumption tracking and production closeout cost review.
Shop Floor Data Delays
Production teams may update job progress only at the end of the day or after paperwork is completed. AutoSimply Shop Floor Control helps capture production activity, time and shop transactions more effectively so supervisors can review efficiency and utilisation with better information.
Quality Inspection Bottlenecks
Incoming goods and manufactured items may require inspection before they can be used or shipped. AutoSimply Quality Control helps support inspection workflows by managing quarantine, testing, acceptance, rejection reasons and stock movement after approval.
Core Modules in AutoSimply Manufacturing Suite
AutoSimply Manufacturing Suite provides practical manufacturing tools that extend Sage 300 for discrete manufacturers that need better production control, planning and shop floor visibility.

Generate manufacturing orders based on BOMs, routing requirements, planned quantities and production schedules so shop floor teams have clearer instructions.
Issue Materials and Track WIP
Track material issue, consumption, scrap and work-in-progress movement to improve production visibility and reduce uncertainty around material usage.
Record Shop Floor Activity
Capture production transactions, time entries and operational activity to help supervisors review productivity, efficiency and production status more clearly.
Inspect, Receive and Close Production
Support quality inspection, finished goods receipt, cost review and manufacturing order closeout so production results are reflected accurately in Sage 300.
Productivity Gains for Discrete Manufacturers
AutoSimply Manufacturing Suite helps production, purchasing, warehouse and finance teams work with more accurate information and fewer disconnected manual processes.
