Manufacturing ERP Software Built Around How Your Middle Tennessee Plant Runs

Plants and suppliers along the I-24 and I-40 corridors from Smyrna to Lebanon often run on an accounting package, a scheduling spreadsheet and a whiteboard on the floor. Nashline Software builds manufacturing ERP software that joins orders, materials, production, quality and shipping on one record.

One record

Everyone sees the same job.

Fewer shortages

Material checked early.

Real costs

Labor and material per job.

Keeps your accounting

Connected, not replaced.

We connect the accounting system you keep where it allows and build only what your plant is missing, instead of forcing your process into a packaged ERP.

01

One job record from order to shipment

An order becomes a job with its routing, materials, schedule, inspections and shipment attached. Sales, purchasing, the floor and shipping all see the same record.

  • Customer orders and releases
  • Bills of material and routings
  • Purchase orders and receipts
  • Work orders and labor
  • Inspections and shipments
02

Your process, not a template

Make-to-order, make-to-stock and mixed shops work differently. We map your real flow first, then build screens around it, so the floor does not keep a second spreadsheet.

// how custom manufacturing erp flows
  1. 1 Order received
  2. 2 Job released
  3. 3 Materials planned
  4. 4 Job completed
  5. 5 Shipped and invoiced
03

Connected to accounting and suppliers

Invoices, costs and inventory values flow to your accounting system where its integration allows, and supplier confirmations can be read and matched automatically.

Picture releases arriving from a customer portal and retyped into a schedule. Releases now become jobs with material checked before they reach the floor.

faq

Custom Manufacturing ERP: questions we hear

Still unsure? Ask us directly.

Do we have to replace the software we use now?

Usually not. We connect the tools you keep where their APIs or exports allow, and build only what is missing.

Is this a replacement for a packaged ERP?

Sometimes. Often we build the pieces your current system lacks and connect them, which is faster and cheaper.

Who owns the software?

You do. The code, the data and the documentation are yours after launch.
