Challenges

  • Production and inventory tracking is manual, on paper and Excel, and stocktaking errors cost money and time.
  • It's hard to know the real cost of a product (raw materials + labor + waste) in real time.
  • E-invoicing (ZATCA/Fatoora) and supplying wholesale customers requires precise organization.
  • Tracking preventive machine maintenance is difficult, and line stoppages cause direct losses.
  • Off-the-shelf ERP subscriptions are expensive every month and don't fit every factory's nature.

Systems you can build

  • An in-house manufacturing execution system (MES): work orders, production stages, and waste rate.
  • A raw material and finished goods inventory system with reorder alerts.
  • An external wholesale customer portal: orders, prices, and shipment status online.
  • A management dashboard = one screen that runs production, costs, and sales.
  • E-invoicing automation (ZATCA), linked to sales orders.
  • A preventive machine maintenance schedule system with WhatsApp alerts.

In-house production planning and scheduling system

Build me an in-house production planning and scheduling system for my factory that receives work orders and automatically distributes them across lines and machines based on available production capacity, delivery dates, and customer priority, and displays a Gantt schedule for each line with utilization rate and bottlenecks. Make the system calculate raw material requirements for each order (simplified MRP) and link them to inventory, and automatically reschedule when a machine breaks down or a supply delivery is delayed. Apply a precise roles and permissions system (RBAC): production planner, line supervisor, and factory manager, with secure login, data encryption, and an audit log for every schedule change. Design the architecture to handle a large factory with thousands of work orders: a database indexed on order number, date, and line status, task queues for heavy rescheduling calculations so they never slow down the interface, and caching for frequently-read dashboards. The interface is Arabic RTL-first with English support and accessibility, with monitoring and logs (observability) on scheduling performance. Add WhatsApp alerts to line supervisors when the schedule changes, daily backups, rate limiting, and deliver it production-ready with tests and short documentation.

Smart supply portal for wholesale customers

Build me a full-featured online portal facing wholesale (B2B) customers, where every merchant logs into their own account to see my product catalog at their own contracted prices, credit limits, and real-time available quantities, and sends supply orders and tracks their status (in preparation, in production, shipped) with a tracking number. Automatically link the order to the production and inventory system so it deducts what's available and generates a work order when needed, support payment via mada, Apple Pay, and Moyasar/HyperPay, and issue a ZATCA-compliant e-invoice for every order. Apply roles and permissions: wholesale merchant, sales rep, and accounts manager, with secure login and encryption. Design the architecture to serve thousands of concurrent customers: an indexed and, where needed, partitioned database, caching for the catalog and prices, queues for notifications and invoicing, and a CDN for product images, with protection against common attacks, rate limiting, and backups. The interface is Arabic RTL-first with English and accessibility, with WhatsApp notifications on order status changes, monitoring and sales analytics, and full production readiness with tests and documentation.

Quality control and traceability automation engine

Build me a quality control and batch traceability automation engine that records inspection results at every production stage, applies automatic accept/reject rules (for example, holding a batch when the defect rate exceeds a set threshold), and generates a tracking code (QR/Lot) for each batch linking the finished product to its raw materials, suppliers, and manufacturing stations for recall and retrieval purposes. Make the automation trigger instant alerts to the supervisor and quality team via WhatsApp or email on any deviation, and automatically generate periodic quality reports. Apply roles and permissions (quality inspector, supervisor, quality manager), secure login, encryption, and a tamper-proof audit log. Design the architecture to handle thousands of inspection readings daily: task queues for processing readings and heavy reports without disrupting data entry, a database indexed on batch number and date, and caching for recurring reports, with backups, rate limiting, and security protections. The interface is Arabic RTL-first with English and accessibility, with monitoring and logs, and full production readiness with tests and short documentation.

Shop floor mobile app

Build me a mobile app (Expo) for factory shop-floor workers and supervisors to use on their phones to run work orders paperlessly: scanning the work order or raw material code with the camera, logging the start/end of each stage along with quantities produced and waste, and reporting a machine breakdown instantly. Make it work with basic offline support and sync data once the network returns so no movement is ever lost. Show each worker only their own tasks, and give the supervisor real-time line status. Apply roles and permissions (worker, line supervisor, maintenance) and secure login with encryption for data exchanged. Design the backend (API) to serve hundreds of concurrent devices: an indexed database, caching, queues for receiving sync batches, rate limiting, security protection, and backups. The interface is Arabic RTL-first with English and accessibility, with large buttons suited to a factory environment, instant notifications to the supervisor on a breakdown or order completion, monitoring and logs, and full production readiness with tests and documentation.

Unified operations platform that scales to millions of users

Build me a unified manufacturing operations platform that brings together production, inventory, quality, maintenance, and sales in a single system that scales to multiple factories and millions of users (multi-tenant). Focus on the architecture first: a database indexed and partitioned/sharded by factory and tenant, multi-layer caching for dashboards and catalogs, task queues for every heavy operation (rescheduling, invoicing, reports, notifications), a CDN for assets, and an event-driven architecture that separates services to handle high load without downtime. Apply a precise, multi-level roles and permissions system with full data isolation between tenants, secure login, encryption in transit and at rest, protection against common attacks, rate limiting, and backups with disaster recovery. Add comprehensive monitoring, analytics, and logs (observability) with alerts on performance degradation. Support local integrations (mada/Apple Pay, ZATCA, WhatsApp, maps). The interface is Arabic RTL-first with English and full accessibility, high performance and speed, and full production readiness with automated tests and short architectural documentation.

Questions about Manufacturing

You describe your production line to Uttra in plain language, and it builds you an in-house production management system (one dashboard that runs everything), including: • Work orders and manufacturing stages for every product. • Raw material and finished goods inventory, automatically deducted with every production run. • Alerts when a raw material drops below a set threshold. The data is stored in a database you own, and you can edit any screen with a click, no developer needed.

Uttra builds you a cost calculator inside the system that automatically adds up: the raw material cost per unit + labor hours + the waste rate logged on every work order. The result appears on a real-time dashboard showing the profit on every product, so you can price correctly and cut losses instead of discovering them at the end of the month.

We build you an external website or app facing the customer (the wholesale merchant logs into their own account): • They see your product catalog with their own special pricing. • They send a supply order and track its status (in preparation / shipped). • The order automatically enters your production and inventory system. This saves time on calls and messages and reduces order errors.

Uttra connects to an accredited e-invoicing service through an API key in the secure secrets vault. Every sales order automatically turns into a ZATCA-compliant e-invoice and is sent to the customer, with no manual entry. Licensed matters are handled through an accredited provider, which Uttra connects to your system.

We build you a machine log inside the system, with a preventive maintenance schedule for every machine. Uttra uses task scheduling to send a WhatsApp or email alert to the maintenance team before each scheduled maintenance, and logs the history of breakdowns. This reduces sudden stoppages and extends the machines' lifespan.

You connect Uttra with WhatsApp via an API key. After that, messages become automatic: a notification to the customer when their order ships, an alert to the line supervisor when a work order finishes, or a reminder to management about low stock. All of this without anyone writing a message by hand.

Off-the-shelf ERP systems are usually a fixed monthly subscription per user plus customization fees, and you don't own the system. With Uttra you build a system tailored to your factory and own the code (export it or link it to GitHub), stopping the bleed of recurring subscriptions. The philosophy: 'say goodbye to rented technology' — you build and own instead of paying monthly for a tool that was never yours.

Start with what hurts most, which is usually inventory and work orders, since it stops errors and waste quickly. Steps: • Describe your products and their manufacturing stages to Uttra in plain language. • Build the inventory screen and work orders first, and try them for a week. • Then add e-invoicing and the wholesale customer portal gradually. You start small and expand, and it all stays one system you own.

Uttra builds you a backend (API) and a middleware layer that receives readings from machines and sensors over a standard protocol (like MQTT or HTTP) and stores them in a database you own. In practice: • Every machine or sensor sends: piece count, running/stopped status, and temperature or vibration. • Uttra uses task queues to absorb thousands of readings per minute without affecting the dashboard. • You get a real-time dashboard showing each line's efficiency (OEE) and an automatic alert on any unplanned stoppage. You'll need a gateway/device that collects readings from the machines and sends them to the API, and Uttra builds the entire software side. As for older machines with no ports, simple sensors can be installed to read the counter.

The solution is architectural from the start, and Uttra builds it for you: • Multi-tenancy: every factory's data is fully isolated, so branch numbers never mix. • Database partitioning/indexing: large tables are partitioned by factory and date so queries stay fast no matter how much data grows. • Caching and queues: frequently-read dashboards are cached, and heavy operations (reports, invoicing) go to a background queue. Also, tiered permissions (a group manager sees everything, a factory manager sees only their factory) and performance monitoring with alerts. You start with one factory, and the same architecture scales to dozens of branches with no rebuild.

Uttra performs a gradual, safe data migration with no sudden downtime: • You describe the structure of your current Excel files (products, inventory, customers), and Uttra builds an import tool that reads them and validates them before entry. • You run the new system in parallel with your old method for a trial period, and compare the results before full adoption. • If you have an old system with an API, Uttra connects to it and pulls the data automatically; if not, import happens via CSV/Excel files. All the data is stored in a database you own, with a backup taken before every migration step so you can safely roll back if needed. You start with the lowest-risk section (inventory, for example) and expand with confidence.
