Modules
Stock, purchasing, production, replenishment, sales and the people on the floor. There is no starter edition and nothing held back for an upsell. You get all of it the moment you register, and you pay on what you ship.
Where each module runs. Anything that sets the business up, or changes what it charges, is done on the desktop in a browser. The app covers the jobs that happen at the rack: scanning, counting, receiving, picking, building and clocking.
Right Place
Every facility, every aisle, every bin. Locations carry their own barcode, so a movement is a scan rather than a note on a clipboard. Transfers, adjustments, counts and receipts all land in one append-only ledger. When a figure looks wrong, Stock Audit shows you exactly how it got that way.

Right Parts
Raise a purchase order from the phone, email it to the supplier, and book the goods in against it when the lorry arrives. Short deliveries and overs are recorded as they happen, not discovered at stocktake.
Right Time
Multi-level bills of materials with quantity formulas, so changing one dimension reflows the whole cut list. Release a work order, pick against it, and complete it with the scrap and batch numbers captured at the bench.

Buffer zones · ADE-30155
Red, expedite. On-hand is inside the safety zone. Adestio raises the alert before the line stops.
Yellow, reorder. Demand has eaten into the replenishment zone; the part joins today's planning queue.
Green, leave it alone. Covered. No order, no cash tied up in a rack you did not need to fill.
Demand-driven
Classic MRP orders to a forecast and is wrong twice: too much of what nobody wants, none of what they do. Adestio uses demand-driven buffers instead. Each part gets a red, yellow and green zone sized from its own lead time and actual consumption, recalculated on whatever schedule suits you.
The planning queue then answers one question every morning: what do we order today, and how much.
Most ERPs will sell you a configurator as a professional-services engagement: you describe your product rules to a consultant, they encode them, and every change after that is a change request. Adestio hands you the editor. You build the questions, you write the quantity rules, you publish. The people who actually know the product are the people who configure it.
Authored on the desktop, where there is a keyboard and room to see what the formula is doing. Operators then configure against it from wherever they are.
Try the live demoHalf one
Define the questions an order actually depends on, and the values you want worked out from them. Everything you name here becomes a variable the parts list can use.
Forms are drafted and published, so you can rework next season's model without disturbing the one sales is quoting today.
Half two
Every part gets a quantity formula rather than a fixed number. Plain arithmetic over the names you defined, with the spreadsheet functions your estimator already thinks in.
Available to every formula
Why this beats the workbook
The reason the estimating workbook is guarded by one person is that it has no idea when it is wrong. Rename a column, paste over a formula, drag a fill handle one row too far, and it carries on returning a number. The number is just quietly the wrong one, and you find out when a lorry arrives on site without the brackets.
Adestio treats an unknown name as an error, not as zero. The line shows it, publishing is blocked, and the wrong parts list never reaches a customer. Delete a line that other formulas depend on and the editor names the dependants before it lets you.

Evaluates to 128 against the sample configuration.
Beyond a parts list
Counting parts is one problem. Knowing where each one goes is another. Where a product has real geometry, the configurator hands the dimensions to a layout engine, which resolves the arrangement properly and gives every component a position rather than just a line on a list.
Placements
Every component located, not just totalled
Bill of materials in build order
So the gang builds it the way it was solved
General arrangement drawings
Sections and elevations straight from the answers
Native CAD parts
Real components inserted, not a dead export
Quote to lorry
Configure the product with the customer on the phone. Adestio prices it from live costs, exchange rate and your margin profile. Approve the quote and it becomes an order, with every line exploded, routed and reserved automatically.
Sales order SO-5561 · line routing
ADE-10442 · Guide rail T89
96 required · 96 on hand
ADE-20817 · Rail bracket set

Every line routed the moment the order is confirmed, and the pickable stock reserved so another order cannot take it.

The stores see stock. The office sees orders. Nobody sees a module they were not given.
Right Person
The time and attendance Adestio started life as, now sitting inside the ERP. Hours worked live next to the work orders those hours went into, and every stock movement carries the name of whoever made it.
Right Answer
Every account comes with trained chatbots. Share whatever product documentation you want them to know, and the answer comes back out of your documents rather than the internet. The configurator answers and the parts list that came out of them are in the context too, so the question can be about the order in front of them.
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.

Tell us who you are and what you make. A person reads every application and answers either way, usually the same working day.
In the browser. Add your plants and bin locations, then print the barcode labels straight to your own printer.
Tick the modules each person needs. They pick up the app and start scanning.
Then your team gets the app
For scanning, counting, picking and clocking. You keep running the business from the desktop.
Nothing to pay and no card. We read every application, and we agree your rate before anything goes live.
Thanks, that is with us.
A person will read it and come back to you either way, usually the same working day. If it is a fit we provision your tenant and send you the link. If it is urgent, reply to that email and say so.
