Neptune Digital

Software for manufacturers, from the first quote to the finished job

Quotes built from components and stock, jobs that move through the workshop as tasks, and the figures that show margin, joined to the finance and production systems you keep.

Trusted by clients from global brands to local charities

Every hand-off between departments is an email or a retyped cell.

The workshop knows how the work should flow. The systems around it don't talk to each other.

  • Our estimators type every quote three times, and again for every revision.

  • Nothing reads anything else.

  • We only forecast monthly now, because weekly was too painful by hand.

  • The logic of our system is right. It just needs modernising.

Modernise without stopping the workshop

A system that has run the workshop for years holds the right logic. We move it to the web a module at a time, the busiest job first, so production never stops.
