Built for the shop floor
NetSuite, SAP Business One and Odoo all quote six figures and six months before a single part is counted in. Most small manufacturers give up and run the whole business on spreadsheets and a whiteboard.
Adestio is a real ERP: stock, BOMs, work orders, purchase orders, quotes, sales orders, picking, replenishment. Your first £100,000 of dispatched value costs nothing at all, and after that we take a small percentage of what actually ships.
See every moduleWhat Adestio does
Every module below ships in the app from day one. Turn on what you need, hide the rest. each person only sees the modules you grant them.
Facilities, bin locations, transfers, adjustments, stock takes and a complete movement history. Every bin barcoded, every movement attributable to a person.

Learn moreThe configurator
Somewhere in your business there is a workbook that turns a customer's requirements into a parts list. It has lookup tables, forty helper columns, and one person who understands it. Adestio replaces that workbook with a configurator you build yourself, without writing any code, and then wires the answer straight into pricing, purchasing and the shop floor.

The answer, recalculated on every change
Computed variables
| Part | Qty | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Rolled-up cost | ||
| Sell price, cost × FX × margin 32% | ||
Change any answer and every quantity, the section drawing and the price move together. In the app this is the point where it becomes a quote.
The Form Builder takes number fields, dropdowns, toggles and repeating lists, plus any computed variables you want derived from them. Name them once and every formula in the parts list can use them. No code, no consultant, no change request.
Every line's quantity is an expression, with the spreadsheet functions your estimator already thinks in and references to other lines. It evaluates live against a sample configuration as you type, so you see the number before you publish it.
IF(config.doors = "THROUGH",
2, 1)
Reference a variable that does not exist and the line reports it and publishing is blocked. It never quietly resolves to zero, which is exactly how a spreadsheet loses a part off a lorry. Delete a line another formula depends on and the editor names the dependants first.
And then it keeps going
Priced
Rolled up from live product costs, then cost multiplied by exchange rate and your margin profile.
Approved
The quote goes out as a document. Approve it and it becomes a sales order without anybody retyping the parts list.
Routed
Every line is sorted into pick, buy or make against real stock, and the pickable part of it is reserved.
Picked
Grouped pallet, sack and bag the way it is packed, each line gated by a scan on the floor.
Formulas are the honest way to express how many of a part a building needs, and they are also the bit that puts people off. So you do not have to write them. Describe the rule the way you would explain it to a new starter, and the assistant turns it into a formula in the app's grammar. Then, crucially, the engine checks its work before you are allowed to use it.
Ask for a formula
Real exchanges from a parts-list editor, replayed here
Pick a rule an author might write
The app sends up the complete inventory of what exists in this definition: every variable with its value under the sample configuration, the row-level names inside each repeating list, and the keys of the other parts-list lines. The assistant may only use names from that inventory.
The suggestion
Pick a rule and press Suggest formula.
Working the rule through the grammar
Assumptions it owned up to
Locked until the engine agrees
Every suggestion is run through the real formula engine against your sample configuration before you can do anything with it. If it does not evaluate, the error is shown and the Use button stays locked. An assistant that is confidently wrong cannot get a part onto a lorry.
It is handed the exact inventory of what exists and told to use nothing else: your variables with their sample values, the row-level names inside each repeating list including nested ones, and the other line keys. The grammar it may write in is closed. There is no function to hallucinate.
Ask for a rule that depends on something you never captured and it does not improvise. It returns no formula and tells you which field to add in the Form Builder first, then what the formula will be once you have. A refusal you can act on beats a plausible guess.
The part nobody expects
The sentence you typed is kept on the row alongside the formula, together with the assistant's explanation of how the formula implements it. Six months later the question is never "what does this expression do". The row already says, in the words of whoever wrote it.
Saved on the row
"One row gets 2 side walls. With two rows you don't get 4, because the middle wall is shared, so each extra row only adds 1."
rows.count(isFirst) * 2 + rows.count(NOT isFirst)
The same trick, one level up
Point it at the Form Builder instead and describe a combination that should not be allowed. It returns the rule, the message the operator will see when they trip it, and whether that should block the save or merely warn.
You describe
"Warn if any bay is deeper than 8 metres, we cannot get the crane in."
It returns
bays.count(depth > 8000)
Support
Every account comes with trained chatbots. Give them whatever product documentation you want them to know, and they answer out of it: on the phone, at the rack, at two in the morning, without waiting for the one person in the building who remembers how that assembly goes together.
Ask on the floor
In the app, alongside the job
What torque on the M16s for the ADE-4420 bracket?
45 Nm, dry, and your assembly instruction says to go back over the first bolt after the second is torqued.
Is the rear wall on SO-10482 glazed?
Yes: glazed rear wall, six panels, with the brushed steel cabin finish. That is how the order was configured.
Share whatever you want it to know: assembly instructions, method statements, datasheets, service manuals, the induction pack nobody reads. Answers come out of your documents, so they match how your product is actually built.
The configurator answers and the parts list that came out of them sit in the assistant's context too. So the question does not have to be general. It can be about this order, this build, the one in front of them.
No ticket queue, no support hours and nobody ringing a supervisor at home. Every operative you invite gets the same assistant, on whatever shift they happen to be working.
Included with the account. There is no support tier to buy, and no charge per person for the people asking.
No implementation partner. No discovery phase. No catch.
An ERP rollout is supposed to take nine months and a consultant on day rate. Adestio does not work like that. Set your facility up in the browser, generate your bin labels, then put a phone in someone's hand and start scanning stock in. You can be live on one store before the other lot have sent you a proposal.
Apply to registerAny browser. Nothing to pay to start, no credit card, no procurement process to survive.
Name the plant, add your bin locations, print the barcode labels straight to your label printer. Office work, so it is done at a desk.
Now pick up a phone. Scan a bin, scan a part, key the quantity. Stock Setup walks a whole store in an afternoon.
Send a link and tick the modules each person needs. They download the app and start scanning. Stores see stock, the office sees orders, nobody sees what they should not.
Designed where the work happens
Most ERPs are a desktop application that someone eventually bolted a phone app onto, and it shows. Adestio splits the job in two: the app does the work that happens at the rack, and the office runs the business from a desktop.
Products, locations, suppliers and BOMs are cached on the device, so the stores keep working at the back of the shed where the Wi-Fi gave up. And when the connection is weak, the app says so. A bad signal never reads as a broken app.
Every location carries a barcode, and the phone in your pocket is the scanner. Picking won't let you past a line until the quantity matches what was reserved, so the wrong part cannot end up in a customer's order.
Location and product labels print straight to the ZPL printers already on your network, routed automatically by work centre or facility. Set up a new bin and its label is in your hand thirty seconds later.
Receipts, issues, transfers, adjustments and counts all land in one append-only ledger: who moved what, out of where, into where, and when. When the figure looks wrong, Stock Audit tells you exactly how it got that way.
The right tool for each job
Nobody wants to author a formula-driven parts list on a phone, and nobody can scan a bin with a laptop. So we stopped pretending one screen suits both. Administration is done on the desktop. The app is kept deliberately narrow: the handful of jobs that happen standing up, with gloves on, next to the stock.

Phone and tablet

Desktop, in any browser
Same system, same data, same permissions. The desktop simply gets the screens that need a keyboard and a proper look at what you are changing.
Plugs into what you already run
Suppliers flow in from your accounting package, purchase orders flow back out, deals arrive from your CRM, and labels come out of the printer in the stores. No exports, no rekeying, no month-end catch-up.
Who runs on Adestio
Anywhere parts move, get made into something bigger, and go out of the door.
Multi-level BOMs, cut lists, galvanising and paint sent out and booked back in, work orders released against real stock. Track a length of RHS from the rack to the finished frame on the lorry.
Configure the product with the customer, and Adestio explodes the BOM, prices it from live costs, routes every line pick / buy / make and reserves the stock before you've put the phone down.
Several warehouses, one stock figure. Transfers between sites, demand-driven buffers per location, and a picking flow that scans its way through a hundred-line order without a printout.
The kit that left the yard, the pallets it went on, and the crew that clocked on to fit it, all in the same system. Van stock is just another location.
Formula-driven parts lists mean a change to a door height reflows the cut list, the ironmongery and the price. No spreadsheet to re-derive by hand.
Batch numbers captured at completion, scrap recorded as it happens, and a movement ledger that can answer where a batch went months after it left.
Used worldwide
Adestio runs on the phone in someone's pocket, so where the plant happens to be makes very little difference. There is no regional edition, no local install and no separate build for a second site in another country.
Quotes price in whatever currency the customer buys in, with the exchange rate applied per quote and your margin profile on top. Purchase orders post to the accounting package that facility already uses.

Pricing
No licence. No implementation fee. No minimum term. And no charge per user, ever. We agree a percentage with you and take it on what you actually dispatch through Adestio. That is the whole invoice.
Nothing at all until you have shipped your first £100,000. If you do not ship, you do not pay.
Put the whole night shift on it. The stores, the yard, the agency staff who are with you for a fortnight. We do not count your people, so you never have to ration access to your own system to keep a licence bill down.
Your cost is a known percentage of work you have already won and delivered, so it never lands in a quiet quarter regardless. It moves with the business rather than against it, and you can read it off the orders themselves.
The usual ERP gamble is spending six figures and nine months before you find out whether it fits how you work. Under this model we carry that risk instead of you. We are paid only once the system has put an order out of the door.
