Production companies generally have difficulty finding production control software that is easy to understand and reasonably priced. Often, work is done outside of the accounting software to control costing, stock movement, work in progress, production planning and procurement. Also, production control software is too costly and difficult to implement. Umbrella in production is aimed specifically at those companies that are looking for easy to use, yet fully functional production control software at an affordable price. *designed to be used without any additional administration overheads.

The benefits of implementing umbrella in production:
*accurate material costing and usage by referencing a multilevel bill of material. Non-material costs like labour and overhead may also be defined for a true cost of production.

*accurate stock movement as you are able to issue stock to work in progress and record actual production. As each sub-assembly is defined in the multi-levels of bill of material it is managed as a separate job, allowing for multi-stage production and receipt and issue of sub-assemblies to and from stock.

*messaging allows you to define tasks that need to be done and automatic escalation to management if deadlines are missed.

*optimal stock holding to tell you which materials and components are needed to make a product for stock or to meet customer orders and let tells you if you are going to be short.

*up to date comparison of theoretical production costs vs actual production costs allowing you to correct errors.

*automatic posting of invoices and journals.
