Questions grouped by product.
Manufacturing Execution System
View product page →What is a Manufacturing Execution System?+
A Manufacturing Execution System controls and records production execution, including work orders, WIP, material consumption, quality, routing, output, exceptions, and traceability.
How is MES different from ERP?+
ERP plans and records enterprise resources and transactions, while MES controls the detailed execution of production on the shop floor. The two systems normally exchange work orders, materials, output, quality, and status data.
Can TEKADA MES support lot and serial traceability?+
Yes. The workflow can connect supplier lots, internal serial numbers, kitting, material consumption, split lots, production history, quality status, and shipment references.
Can an active lot traveller be changed through approval?+
Yes. Engineering Change Notice and Temporary Change Notice workflows can control revisions, validity, affected work orders, approvals, and the audit trail for active production.
Can MES integrate with existing ERP, WMS, scanners, and machines?+
Yes. Integration can use APIs, databases, files, middleware, barcode scanners, tester outputs, or machine and IoT interfaces according to the available systems and security policy.
How should a MES implementation start?+
Start with a measurable production bottleneck, validate master data and process ownership, implement a focused scope, train users, and expand after the initial workflow is stable.
Human Resource Information System
View product page →What does an HRIS manage?+
An HRIS manages employee records, organisation structures, attendance, shifts, leave, overtime, approvals, documents, self-service, and HR reporting.
Can company-specific leave and attendance rules be configured?+
Yes. Entitlements, shifts, cut-off dates, approval levels, overtime rules, calendars, and employee groups can be configured around company policy.
Can employees and managers use self-service?+
Yes. Employee and manager portals can support profile access, leave or overtime requests, attendance corrections, approvals, documents, and notifications.
Can HRIS integrate with attendance devices and payroll?+
Yes. Integration can connect attendance devices, payroll, accounting, identity services, and other enterprise systems where interfaces are available.
Is TEKADA HRIS suitable for multiple departments or sites?+
Yes. Organisation units, sites, departments, reporting lines, roles, work calendars, and access permissions can be structured for multi-site operations.
Inventory Management System
View product page →What is an Inventory Management System?+
It is software for controlling item masters, quantities, locations, stock movements, replenishment, batch or serial tracking, and inventory reporting.
Can the system manage multiple stores and locations?+
Yes. Stock can be organised by site, store, rack, bin, department, or another location hierarchy with controlled transfers.
Can it track batches, serial numbers, and expiry dates?+
Yes. Batch, lot, serial, manufacturing date, expiry date, and movement history can be captured according to the item-control policy.
How does replenishment work?+
Minimum stock, reorder points, lead times, demand, reservations, and alerts can be used to identify when and how much stock should be replenished.
Can inventory integrate with purchasing, accounting, WMS, or MES?+
Yes. Integration can connect purchase receipts, sales or production issues, valuation inputs, warehouse execution, material consumption, and management reporting.
Accounting System
View product page →What functions are included in an accounting system?+
Typical functions include invoicing, expenses, general ledger, receivables, payables, cash, bank reconciliation, period closing, and financial reporting.
Can operational transactions flow into accounting?+
Yes. Sales, purchasing, inventory, project, payroll, and other operational systems can provide controlled accounting inputs through integration.
Can the system support approval workflows?+
Yes. Payment requests, expenses, journals, discounts, credit notes, and other financial processes can use role-based approval workflows and audit trails.
Which reports can be produced?+
Common outputs include profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow, trial balance, receivable or payable ageing, transaction details, and management dashboards.
Can access be separated by role or department?+
Yes. Access can be controlled by company, branch, department, cost centre, role, transaction type, and approval responsibility.
Custom Software Development
View product page →When is custom software appropriate?+
Custom software is appropriate when critical workflows, integration needs, control requirements, or competitive processes cannot be handled well by standard software.
What happens before development starts?+
Discovery maps users, current workflows, bottlenecks, business rules, data, integrations, risks, priorities, and measurable outcomes before scope is committed.
Can TEKADA build web and mobile applications?+
Yes. Solutions can include responsive web applications, Android or iOS apps, cross-platform apps, industrial handheld workflows, APIs, portals, and dashboards.
Can a custom system integrate with existing software?+
Yes. Integration can connect ERP, databases, third-party APIs, identity systems, cloud services, scanners, equipment, and legacy applications where interfaces are available.
How is delivery risk controlled?+
Delivery risk is reduced through phased scope, prototypes, acceptance criteria, version control, testing, security review, deployment planning, documentation, and user validation.
