New: GaugeFlow ERP now has a live manufacturing sample workspace. Launch demo ->

Implementation

Start with the shop workflows that cause the most drag.

GaugeFlow ERP should be introduced around real operating pain: quote delays, hidden capacity, traveler rework, material shorts, shipment holds, and QMS release uncertainty.

1. Map the current shop flow

Identify how RFQs, routings, work orders, travelers, purchasing, inspection, shipping, and invoices move today.

2. Configure the operating records

Set numbering, customers, parts, work centers, tooling, inventory locations, shipping rules, and print templates.

3. Connect quality release gates

Define what QMS owns and what ERP blocks when inspection, NCR, CoC, FAI, or final release is incomplete.

4. Prepare production hosting

Use the same self-hosted posture as GaugeFlow QMS for shops that need customer-owned infrastructure.

Readiness checklist

Decisions to make before go-live.

These are the areas that usually decide whether an ERP launch feels organized or noisy.

Traveler template defaults by part family or customer
4x6 box and pallet label print settings
QMS gate ownership and shared external keys
ITAR-controlled job, file, shipment, and transfer rules
Role-based access for estimating, planning, production, quality, and finance
Stripe billing or written quote path for plan selection
