Cloud MRP for manufacturers

Deploy a connected plant in days, not months.

Quando runs production scheduling, inventory, warehouse management, traceability, and labeling on one cloud platform — sized for small and mid-sized manufacturers, connected to the systems you already have.

Solutions

Four operations, one record of truth.

Most plants run these as four disconnected systems and reconcile them by hand. Quando keeps them on the same data, so a scan on the floor is visible in scheduling, inventory, and shipping at the same moment.

01 / Production

Production and packing control

Plan repeatable production workstreams across material requirements, scheduling, and real-time output monitoring — so you get a clear line of sight instead of a whiteboard.

02 / Procurement

Procurement and receiving

Connect raw material consumption to the production schedule. You know exactly when and how much to buy to meet demand, which lowers what you carry on the floor.

03 / Traceability

Product traceability

Capture key data at every step — consumption, production, packing, transfer — against a serialization model you define. When a quality issue surfaces, you isolate it instead of recalling everything.

04 / Warehouse

Pallet and case warehouse management

Standardize put-away and picking, cut the time spent hunting for inventory, and speed up ship-order operations. Fewer keying errors, faster turns, less shrinkage.

Why Quando

Built for plants that do not have an IT department.

We have run production and warehouse floors ourselves. That is the whole basis of how this platform is scoped, priced, and supported.

Simplicity

Fewer moving parts on the floor and fewer costs behind them. Managers get real-time visibility without a reporting project.

Support

Training and support come from people who have worked production and warehousing. You are not filing a ticket into a queue.

Security and control

Users see only the features their role allows. Hosted in the Cloud with encryption in transit and at rest.

Cost advantage

No local server investment. Modules are added as you need them, so you pay for the operations you actually run.

Platform

Everything the floor touches, in one place.

Accessible on desktops, handheld scanners, phones, and tablets. Real-time updates keep scheduling, the warehouse, and shipping in sync without a clipboard in between.

Production scheduler

Plan runs with everyone agreed on dates, resources, and requirements.

Item and BOM management

Define descriptions, weights, cases per pallet, and safety stock once. An integrated bill of materials checks component availability against a specific order instantly.

Warehouse management

Ship order, pick-to-ship, and bill of lading with manifest, so dock loading stops waiting on paperwork.

Label and document design

Drag-and-drop design for labels, tags, and documents — serialization, barcodes, QR codes, logos — printed straight into packing and palletizing.

Internal traceability

Tag and scan to record material transactions and production events, including weight, temperature, and ingredient percentages.

Dashboard reporting

Real-time metrics for managers and operators, with searchable list reports you can download on demand.

API integrations

Secure connections to systems such as NetSuite, Salesforce, and custom application integrations with your partners and customers.

Inside the platform

This is what the floor actually sees.

No mock-ups. These are the screens your operators and managers work in every shift.

How deployment works

Three stages, and none of them need a server room.

STEP 01

Model your operation

We set up items, bills of materials, locations, and the serialization model against how your plant actually runs today.

STEP 02

Tag and scan

Labels print from the platform. Operators scan at consumption, production, packing, and transfer. The chain builds itself.

STEP 03

Run on live data

Scheduling, inventory, and shipping read the same record. Reporting is there on day one, not after a data project.

Qpro+

Design labels and documents once. Print them live, from any system.

Qpro+ is the Quando label and document layer, available on its own as a cloud API. Templates live on the Qpro+ canvas; your systems call one endpoint and get back ZPL, PDF, PNG, or SVG. When a customer changes a label spec, you change the template — the code that calls it never moves.

No per-printer fees

A platform floor credited against metered renders that get cheaper as volume grows. Not per seat, not per device.

Questions

What buyers ask before the second call.

How long does deployment actually take?
Days rather than months for a single plant, because there is nothing to install locally. The variable is not the software — it is how cleanly your item master, bills of materials, and locations are defined today. We work through that with you in stage one.
Do we have to replace our ERP or accounting system?
No. Quando sits on the operations side and connects out. There are existing integrations to systems such as QuickBooks and Salesforce, and the API can be extended to other data sources in your business, your partners, or your customers.
Can it print to the label printers we already own?
Qpro+ returns native ZPL, which covers Zebra and ZPL-compatible thermal printers, plus PDF for anything that prints a document. [VERIFY: confirm which non-ZPL printer languages, if any, are supported before publishing.]
Where does our data live, and what happens if we leave?
Data is hosted in the cloud with encryption and role-scoped access. Your data is accessible to you from reporting and a range of Excel and CSV download options
Is this sized for one plant, or for multiple sites?
The platform is built for small and mid-sized manufacturers, and single-site deployments are where it is strongest today.
What does support look like after go-live?
Training and ongoing support come from the same people who scoped your deployment, and they have run production and warehouse floors themselves. Level of support is scoped as we learn more about your operation.
