Sound familiar?

The problems we hear most from manufacturers and makers — and what Siniam does about them.

01

Prices set without knowing the cost

Recipes cost every ingredient, wastage and extra cost, per unit.

02

Raw materials that vanish

Production deducts what each batch uses; the rest is accounted for.

03

Finished goods that never reach the books

Production moves value from materials to finished stock, in the ledger.

Questions

Questions, answered

Can’t find yours? Ask us.

Ask a question
Is Manufacturing included in every plan?

Manufacturing is on the plans that include it — see Pricing.

Can I include wastage and labour in my costs?

Yes. Recipes count wastage and extra costs, so the unit cost is the real one.

Does production update my stock?

Yes. Each run deducts raw materials and adds finished goods, and posts to the books.

Built around you

Need it to fit exactly?
