What’s inside
Everything it does, area by area
Eight areas in plain terms. Open one for what you can do and the reports you get.
What you can do
- Create a production order straight from a customer’s sale order, or for stock, without retyping lines.
- Combine sale orders from the same customer in one production order.
- Stop the same sale-order quantity from being planned twice.
- Set a required date for each order; late orders are flagged on the dashboard.
- Release only when every line has an approved route and recipe. The order keeps its own copy, so later item changes don’t disturb it.
- See the required quantity of every material, per department, next to current store stock.
Reports and documents
- Production Dashboard
- Production Order with materials per department
- Store demands per department
What you can do
- Define how much of each raw material makes one unit, with a waste % for each.
- Choose the store each material is issued from and the department that consumes it.
- See the material cost per unit at the latest purchase rates, before you produce.
- Lock and approve recipes. Only approved recipes can be used in production or on a processing PO.
- Revise a recipe without losing history: earlier versions stay on file, and existing orders keep their materials.
- Prevent circular recipes: a material can’t contain the item it is used to make.
Reports and documents
- Recipe print / preview
- Previous recipes
- Cost per unit
What you can do
- Create store demands for a released order in one click: one per issuing store, per department.
- Issue material against each demand and allocate it to stock lots.
- Block issues above the balance still to issue, on screen and on the server, even with two users at once.
- Send leftover material back to the store with an issuance return.
- Close an order when nothing more will be made, and re-open it if needed.
Reports and documents
- Demands per department
- Store Issuance
- Issuance Return
What you can do
- Set each item’s route: the departments it passes through, in order, with a conversion rate (labour and overhead) and allowed loss %.
- Record good and rejected quantity per department, with entry date and remarks.
- Stop over-reporting: no department can enter more than it received, or more than its material can make.
- Receive the last department’s good quantity straight into finished goods, reserved for the customer.
- Send material to outside processors (dyers, knitters, printers) on a processing PO and get the finished item back at material cost plus processing charge.
- See what each processor still holds in its Inventory at Third Party balance.
Reports and documents
- Production Stage Entry
- Entries with unit cost and loss
- Processing Receipt
- Processing PO print for the processor
What you can do
- Inspect textiles at five stages: knitting, dyeing & finishing, cutting, stitching (inline and end-line) and garment finishing.
- Score fabric rolls on the 4-point system (per 100 kg or per 100 sq yd) and garment stages by defective %.
- Grade automatically (A, B, C, REJECT…) from score bands set per buyer, per fabric, or both. A rejectable fault rejects the roll outright.
- Record each reject reason by fault, with panel, size, operation, operator and bundle where they apply.
- Inspectors save and submit, supervisors approve. Re-inspect or override a grade with a reason, and keep the full history.
- For any product, add a QC step to the route; rejected units are recorded per department.
Reports and documents
- Grade Distribution
- Fault Pareto by fault, category, machine, operator or operation
- Lot Summary
- Work Order Summary
- Quality sheets and QC registers
What you can do
- Run every import on an LC number (sight, usance, TT, DP or DA), so each bank charge, insurance, duty, freight and clearing cost lands on that import.
- Record import POs with Incoterm, ports, country of origin, proforma, HS code and pre-approved alternate items.
- Track shipments with commercial invoice, B/L or AWB, vessel, ETD / ETA and containers. Substitutes need approval before locking.
- Book the supplier invoice from the shipment, retire the LC from the bank’s advice, and enter the customs GD with duties from the HS code.
- Spread every import charge over the goods received with a landed-cost run. Material already issued is re-costed too.
- Close the LC once Goods in Transit and LC margin are clear, and see every posting in the LC Ledger.
Reports and documents
- LC Ledger with Excel export
- Landed-cost sheet per run
- Costs & Closing by source
- LC # rows in the trial balance
What you can do
- Keep each item in the stores that hold it; issues and receipts are checked against that setup.
- Receive goods on a GRN, with received, accepted and rejected quantities for imports.
- Allocate every issue to its stock lots.
- Reserve finished goods for a customer’s sale order. A delivery can’t take stock reserved for someone else.
- Deliver from the sale order on a delivery challan.
- Track material held by outside processors, and take back unused raw material at the rate it was issued.
Reports and documents
- Good Receipt Note
- Store Issuance
- Delivery Challan
- Inventory at Third Party
What you can do
- Cost each finished unit as: cost from the previous department + material issued to it + its conversion rate.
- Compare the planned cost (recipe + route) with the actual cost from stage entries.
- Charge rejected units to Production Loss at the cost reached so far.
- Value outsourced items at raw material cost plus processing charge; tax applies to the processing amount only.
- Post every document automatically: work in progress per department, factory overhead applied, finished goods and production loss.
- Catch vouchers that could not post (a closed month, a missing account) and re-post them once fixed.
Reports and documents
- Unit cost and value passed on per entry
- Production JV vouchers
- Blocked vouchers
- Work in progress by department

FAQ
Production ERP, answered
Factory management software that runs production itself: material planning (MRP), bills of materials, work orders, the shop floor, quality, stock and costing, all linked to finance. Accounting software only records the result.
Yes. In-house, your own departments make the item from a Production Order, department by department, and the finished goods are reserved for the customer’s Sale Order. For outside processing, you send raw material to a dyer, knitter or printer on a Processing PO and receive the finished item back at raw material cost plus the processing charge. Both start from the item’s recipe.
Each item has a recipe: the raw materials that make one unit, each with its quantity, waste %, issue store and the department that uses it. Recipes are locked and approved before use, and Revise Recipe creates a new version while keeping the old one. Production orders and processing POs keep a copy of the recipe they were made with.
Every limit is checked by the server as well as the screen, so it holds even when two users work at once. A department can’t record more than it received from the previous one, or more than the material issued to it can make. Stores can’t issue more than the balance still to issue, and a processor’s receipt is limited to what the raw material sent could have made.
The Textile Quality module inspects fabric and garments at knitting, dyeing and finishing, cutting, stitching (inline and end-line) and garment finishing. Fabric rolls are scored on the 4-point system and garment stages by defective %. The grade comes from your grade scheme, which can differ by buyer or fabric. Inspectors save and submit, a supervisor approves, and the approved grade is stamped on the receiving document. Reports include grade distribution, fault Pareto, lot summary and work order summary.
Yes. Each import has an LC number, including TT, DP and DA imports, which collects every cost: LC opening and amendment charges, marine insurance, customs duties from the GD, freight, port, clearing and transport. Once the goods are received, a landed-cost run spreads those charges over the items received and re-costs material already issued. The LC Ledger shows every posting.
Department by department: the cost received from the previous department, plus the material issued to the department, plus its conversion rate (labour and overhead). Rejected units are charged to Production Loss at the cost reached so far. You can compare this actual cost with the planned cost from the recipe and route.
Yes. When the last department records good units, they are received into the finished goods store and reserved for that order’s Sale Order. A delivery to another customer can’t take reserved stock.
Yes. Store issues post to each department’s work-in-progress account. Each stage entry posts its conversion cost, passes good units to the next department and charges rejects to Production Loss, and finished units post to finished goods inventory. If a voucher can’t post, for example because the month isn’t open, the entry is still saved and can be re-posted once fixed.
Rights are given per screen, and nothing is allowed until granted. Separate rights cover stage entry, releasing orders and creating demands, closing and re-opening orders, submitting and approving inspections, approving substitute import items, and closing an LC.
Yes. Tadbir takes live data from machine sensors and energy meters, and works with biometric, RFID and barcode devices. We check your equipment during the factory visit.
It forecasts demand for planning, warns maintenance before a machine fails, spots defects on the line through visual inspection, keeps stock levels right, flags unusual entries for finance, and answers questions about your data.
Yes. FRESME builds Tadbir in-house, so we can add screens and modules for your process. For Yanbu Steel Company we built a custom steel cutting module.
Tadbir ERP is ZATCA Phase 2 compliant and integrated with FATOORA. It runs in the cloud, with an on-premise option. FRESME runs its own servers in each country it serves, so data can stay in-country.
Yes. We have offices in Riyadh, Jeddah, Manama, Lahore, Karachi and London, and we meet clients in person anywhere in those four countries.
It depends on your products, lines, users and customisation. After the factory visit we send a written proposal with phases and cost.

Production and manufacturing ERP worldwide
A production ERP for a group is a single system where each plant keeps its own stock and production orders while head office reads output and cost together. It suits manufacturers with plants or sales offices in more than one country, where each country has its own tax but production data should live in one place.
One database, several plants
Each plant keeps its own stock and production orders while the group reads cost and output together.
Local tax per company
ZATCA invoices in Saudi Arabia, VAT in Bahrain and the UK, FBR invoicing built per client in Pakistan, each set up on its own company.
Export and import in several currencies
Orders, shipments, LCs and receivables in foreign currencies sit next to the stock they involve.
Three languages
Arabic, English and Urdu screens for each plant’s team.
How companies here use it
A manufacturer in Pakistan selling to the Gulf
Production and stock in Pakistan, sales through a Gulf company, and one database for both.
A group with plants in two countries
Group costing and stock transfers between plants from one system.
A producer adding a new plant
The plant is added as a company with its own tax setup and starts with the group’s bills of materials.
Questions
Can one ERP run plants in several countries?
Yes. Each company keeps its own books, stock and tax setup in one database, and the group sees consolidated reports. Plants use their own language, Arabic, English or Urdu, so a new plant can start from the group’s bills of materials.
Does it support import and export?
Yes. Import purchase orders, letters of credit and landed cost are covered, with orders and receivables in foreign currencies. Tell us your export documents and routes, and we show how they sit in the system during a short demo.
Which languages are supported?
Arabic, English and Urdu. Each user chooses a language, so supervisors in one plant can work in Arabic while management in another country reads the same data in English, and documents print in the language of the buyer.
How much does it cost?
It depends on plants, modules and users, so there is no fixed price list. After a short call about your plants and countries, we send a written quote listing every module and setup item, and we reply within 2 hours.
Which countries do you work in?
FRESME has teams in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Pakistan and the UK, and delivers in other countries too. We reply within 2 hours.
Where is our data stored?
On FRESME’s own servers in the country you choose among Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Pakistan and the UK. We set each deployment up around that country’s data rules.
