Workflow guides
Manufio is a web-based production ERP built for cosmetics manufacturers. Sales orders, formulas and production, lots and quarantine, warehouse and shipping, the general ledger and marketplace listings all work on the same records. It has been used every day since June 2026 in Provable Cosmetics’ factory in Kırklareli, Turkey.
General-purpose ERPs struggle with cosmetics in three places: formula versions and batch scaling, lots and expiry dates, and checks before shipping. Manufio does not stop at warnings there; for steps that cannot be undone, nothing proceeds until the rule is met.

Line prices are frozen at order time; stock is allocated to open orders in sequence, and a short line requires a “produce or ship without it” decision.
A work order opens only with a chemist-approved formula; the operator sees it scaled to the job and records the mixing vessel and filling line.
A finished batch enters saleable stock only after release from quarantine; shipments open only from checked pallets.
ProblemThe same stock was counted for two orders, and unchecked cartons could end up on the truck.
SolutionWhen the warehouse puts goods on a pallet, those lots are locked to the order and leave free stock. A shipment can only be created from a checked pallet. Stock is allocated to open orders in sequence, so the coverage view shows the real picture.
ProblemOne line is short. Does the whole order wait, or does it leave incomplete? Without a decision, the truck waits at the gate.
SolutionA short line requires a decision: send it to production (the chemist gets an urgent production alert) or ship without it. Shipment approval stays closed while any line is undecided. Once decided, the other options lock; changing course means undoing first.
ProblemThe formula is the factory’s most valuable knowledge. It should not sit in front of everyone on the production floor.
SolutionA formula opens only for the operator assigned to the job, scaled to that job’s quantity. Ingredients marked confidential are not named to people without permission. No work order can be opened with a formula the chemist has not approved.
ProblemWith the materials on hand, how many units of which product can we make today?
SolutionThe board shows, for each product, how many materials are short at the target quantity and the maximum units possible with stock on hand, taking free stock, quantities reserved for other jobs, approved alternatives and expiry into account. Products added to a basket share materials in order, and work orders are opened from there.
ProblemNobody could tell what was in quarantine; the screen only offered a “release” button.
SolutionThe quarantine queue shows product, shade, lot, quantity, the work order it came from, how many days it has waited and the issue. Goods that have not been released never enter saleable stock.
ProblemSales, purchases, collections and payments were entered once in the ERP and again in the accounting software.
SolutionInvoices, collections, payments and cash records create their own journal entries. Sub-ledgers, trial balance, customer and supplier balances with ageing, the VAT return summary with its offset entry, and month-end exchange-difference entries are calculated from the ledger.
Look for formula versions and batch scaling, lot and expiry tracking, quarantine, checks before shipping, fit with your accounting practice, and whether the team can use it on phones and iPads. Manufio grew out of exactly these needs; its interface is in Turkish today.
