Business and technology leaders walking through a modern operations campus
Manufacturing Technology Engineering

Connect the systems, partners, and decisions that keep manufacturing moving.

Metrotechs engineers integrations, secure portals, operational analytics, workflow and exception automation, and custom software for manufacturers whose growth has outpaced disconnected systems and manual handoffs.

Engineering Toolbox

Use the technology the operating problem actually requires.

Manufacturing solutions rarely stop at one product boundary. Metrotechs determines where records should live, how work must cross systems, what requires new capability, and what should remain unchanged.

The answer may extend Oracle, connect Epicor, add APIs and a portal, establish Power BI reporting, or modernize a core platform when the evidence supports it. The architecture earns its place by solving the operation—not by making the project larger.

ERP

Connect the operational system of record to the workflows and information the business depends on. Extend, integrate, or modernize it only when the manufacturing need justifies the change.

Cloud

Provide the secure infrastructure, connectivity, resilience, and scale required by the applications and integrations behind the solution.

Data

Establish trusted models and governed pipelines so operational information is consistent, timely, and useful across teams and company boundaries.

AI

Interpret information, surface exceptions, and assist decisions where governed automation can create clear, measurable value.

How We Deliver

A controlled path from manufacturing friction to working capability.

A useful engagement reduces uncertainty at every stage. You should know what is changing, why it matters, how it will be validated, what your team will own, and what happens after go-live.

Flagship Solution · Contract Manufacturing Visibility

See across outsourced production before exceptions become customer problems.

Metrotechs gives manufacturers and brand owners a governed operating view across external production partners, their own systems, and the handoffs between them. We engineer the data ownership, integrations, portal access, analytics, and exception workflows without forcing every company onto one platform.

Demand & commitments

Reconcile forecasts, customer demand, purchase commitments, acknowledgements, and changes before the plan diverges across companies.

Explore the flagship solution

Orders & acknowledgements

Create a dependable view of purchase orders, production orders, confirmations, due dates, changes, and ownership.

Explore the flagship solution

Production status

Make work in progress, milestones, delays, completion status, and accountable owners visible without constant status chasing.

Explore the flagship solution

Materials & inventory

See shortages, available material, OEM-owned or consigned inventory, and record disagreements before commitments are affected.

Explore the flagship solution

Capacity & constraints

Connect available capacity, constraints, demand changes, and delivery commitments in one governed operating picture.

Explore the flagship solution

Quality & compliance

Surface holds, nonconformance, required documents, approvals, and customer-specific access without exposing unrelated records.

Explore the flagship solution

Engineering changes

Track revisions, acknowledgements, effective dates, affected materials, and the partners responsible for acting on each change.

Explore the flagship solution

Shipping & exceptions

Connect ASNs, shipment status, delivery commitments, exceptions, escalation, and ownership before customers are surprised.

Explore the flagship solution

Manufacturing is our primary market. We also apply the same engineering services selectively in distribution, field service, logistics, construction and trades, B2B services, and multi-location operations.

When to Engage

These are engineering problems, not software shopping lists.

Bring Metrotechs the workflow that is slow, the status nobody trusts, the partner handoff that keeps failing, or the capability your current systems cannot support cleanly.

Common signal

Status must be rebuilt by hand

Teams assemble spreadsheets, emails, exports, and phone updates before they can answer a routine operating question.

Common signal

Customers or partners cannot see what they need

External visibility is late, inconsistent, or unsafe because the source systems were never designed for controlled access.

Common signal

Growth is multiplying workarounds

More orders, sites, products, or partners create more manual coordination instead of more operating leverage.

A Useful First Step

Leave the first conversation with a clearer decision.

We will help separate the immediate manufacturing constraint from the longer-term architecture and identify whether the next move should be an assessment, a focused engineering release, or no project at all.

When Standard Products Cannot Provide the Capability: How to Evaluate Custom Software Engineering for Manufacturing

Manufacturing operations teams eventually reach a point where the ERP, MES, WMS, and QMS cannot coordinate a required capability cleanly, and configuration has been exhausted. Before committing to Custom Software Engineering, four lighter approaches deserve honest evaluation: extending the existing system, targeted integration, reporting or portal patterns, and stabilizing the process before adding any technology. Custom engineering earns its place only when the required capability genuinely cannot be delivered through those alternatives, the process is stable, and data ownership is governed. Taking on custom work means taking on a maintenance commitment, not just a build project.

When Manufacturing Coordination Runs on Inboxes and Spreadsheets: Choosing the Right Fix

Manual coordination across ERP, MES, WMS, QMS, and partner systems creates delay, rework, and invisible risk for OEM operations teams. The right response depends on whether the breakdown is a data problem, an ownership problem, a visibility problem, or a routing problem. This piece compares four approaches and the tradeoffs that determine which one fits.

When Manufacturing Records Can't Be Trusted: Approaches to Reconciling Fragmented Operating Data

In many OEM operations, the ERP, shop floor, and warehouse report each tell a different story. The root condition is that order, production, material, inventory, quality, capacity, and shipment records live in separate systems with no single governing view. This article compares five approaches to closing that gap, including extending existing systems, targeted integration, reporting layers, governance-only changes, and a governed Operational Analytics implementation, along with the constraints and tradeoffs that determine which fits.

Giving Customers and Partners Visibility Without Opening Your Systems to Them

Customers want order status. Suppliers need release confirmations. Logistics partners ask about shipment schedules. The recurring problem is not the request itself but how manufacturers answer it: manual emails, shared spreadsheets, or direct system access that creates permission exposure with every new partner added. This piece maps four approaches to controlled external visibility, the tradeoffs each carries, and how to determine which problem is worth addressing first.
