Is your work spread over 7 tools that don’t know each other?

Bookings in one place, messages in another, payments in a sheet. A change stays in one tool before it reaches the people who need it.

Era brings them into one place. A few of the apps you can connect

Same week. Same team. A different day.

Moulds, raw material and machine capacity shape every order; preforms, caps and packaging sell in thousands. Prices and minimum quantities vary per customer.

Plastics & packaging manufacturer: the same work, today and with Era.

  • Today: Missed orders. An emailed order never entered the production plan. — Era: Order to work order. An approved quote becomes an order, then a work order.
  • Today: Missing materials. Production started; materials ran out halfway. — Era: Stock and supply. Low stock prepares a supplier order draft.
  • Today: Unclear delivery. The customer keeps asking where the order is. — Era: Status updates. Each stage change notifies the customer.
  • Today: Disconnected invoices. The shipment left; the invoice came a week later. — Era: Shipment to invoice. A completed shipment creates the invoice with its terms.

Which orders could be late this week?

Two orders are waiting on materials; one is due Friday. I’ve drafted the supplier order and a note to the customer — I’ll show you both before sending.

Sections on from day one

6 sections switch on together; turn off what you don’t need, add more later.

Before you start

Granule prices move weekly. Change the validity under Settings → Quotes if your contracts fix the price for longer.

Each catalogue item is one packing unit — 1,000 preforms, 100 jerrycans, 5,000 caps — priced per unit. Quantities on orders and quotes count packing units.

Add the “Print cliché (per colour)” line to the first quote. It is kept on the customer’s file, so repeat orders do not include it.

Write their cycle in days on the Trade account card. After each shipment the reorder watch schedules a call five days before they run out, and every Monday you get the week’s list.

Yes — every order already gets a draft invoice. Check it and issue; the collections agent reminds the buyer before the due date.

Sales, Quotes, Shop, Invoices, Website, AI; 3 ready services and products, 3 teammates, 6 workflows, 18 notification rules and a website theme.

Yes. Switch on “start with sample data” during setup to get realistic customers, records and history; remove them in one step when you are ready.
