factorycore

Everything your team needs to run the business, in one place.

factorycore is the in-house ERP for window, door, and façade manufacturers: quote and order, plan production, manage the warehouse, run the shop floor, and keep every customer relationship and document in one connected system.

sales

Create quotes, enter orders, configure windows and doors, and generate delivery notes and invoices, all from one in-house tool. No more switching between a quoting system and a separate order system. It's one workflow, start to finish. Browser-based and multi-tenant, so your team works from anywhere with no local installation.

plan

See your entire production plan at a glance, and change it in seconds. Drag-and-drop scheduling across order planning, production, shipping, and installation, with real-time status on every job.

inventory

Your warehouse, always current. Postings happen the moment material moves: receiving, moving, or issuing stock, whether you run classic fixed-location storage or fully dynamic warehousing, with AI assisting location allocation to cut travel time and reduce wasted space. Supports FIFO, LIFO, and averaged-cost pricing methods. On the floor, prefinventory posts every movement as it happens.

mes

From engineering rule to machine instruction. factorycore's mes brings computer integrated manufacturing to the shop floor: production data is checked and simulated before it ever reaches a machine, and live monitors at every station, cutting, binning, assembly, quality control, shipping, show operators exactly what to do next and track progress in real time.

PrefCRM

Built-in customer relationship management, so sales history, service tickets, and internal projects live in the same system as the order.

elo

Built-in document management, so every quote, order, and invoice is automatically archived, searchable, and version-controlled.

Modules

Six modules, one connected system.

Every module below runs on the same shared foundation, so work moves between them without re-entry.

factorycore SALES

Quote it, order it, invoice it. One tool, not two.

  • One workflow, start to finish: quotes, orders, configuration, delivery notes, invoices, no switching systems
  • Full in-house toolset, with more tools than the dealer-facing edition, salespulse eCOM, on the same shared configurator engine
  • Deployment flexibility: on-premise or preferp-hosted cloud, always upgradable
  • Fenno built in: Sketch to quote and Talk to your ERP available directly inside the quoting workflow

FennoUpload a drawing, and Fenno turns it into a priced quote right inside factorycore SALES, with no separate tool and no re-entry.

In practice

A quote that used to take two systems now takes one. Feed in a drawing, Fenno prices it, and the same record flows straight to factorycore PLANNER with nothing re-typed.

Sales
factorycore PLANNER

Set the delivery date, and factorycore PLANNER tells you if your shop can actually hit it.

  • Backward scheduling from the delivery date, working back through the production calendar to determine when each step needs to start
  • Capacity check built in, surfacing conflicts before a delivery promise is made
  • Drag-and-drop rescheduling with color-coded order and capacity status
  • Builds production lots and machine data directly, feeding straight into factorycore MES

FennoAsk Fenno which orders are at risk this week, and factorycore PLANNER already has the answer, because it is the same data driving the schedule.

In practice

A sales rep about to confirm a delivery date sees factorycore PLANNER flag a capacity conflict before committing, and offers a realistic date instead of an apology two weeks later.

Plan
factorycore INVENTORY

Your warehouse, updated the moment something moves.

  • Real-time postings: receiving, moving, and issuing stock update instantly, from mobile, on site
  • Dynamic warehousing with AI allocation, cutting travel time and reducing wasted space in chaotic-storage mode
  • FIFO, LIFO, and average-cost pricing methods supported
  • Closes the loop with the order, as consumption feeds and is fed by factorycore SALES order data

FennoAsk Fenno what is actually in stock right now, and get the answer straight from the warehouse floor.

In practice

A shipment arrives, and in dynamic mode factorycore INVENTORY's AI suggests the bin that minimizes travel time for jobs already queued, instead of a fixed default location.

Inventory
factorycore MES

From engineering rule to machine instruction, checked before a single cut is made.

  • Machine data and simulation: engineering rules turned into machine instructions, with collision checks before anything reaches a machine
  • Shop-floor execution: workstation monitors track cutting, assembly, and quality control in real time
  • One connected step: output flows from factorycore PLANNER and feeds back into factorycore INVENTORY

FennoThe same engine that catches an energy-rating conflict in a quote also catches a machining collision before it happens on the floor.

In practice

A cutting error that never happens. factorycore MES runs the simulation on a job from factorycore PLANNER, flags a collision, and stops it before the job reaches the floor.

MES
PrefCRM

Customer history and paperwork, in the same system as the order.

  • Full contact, project, and service history in one place
  • HR and service desk workflows alongside customer-facing ones
  • Standalone or integrated directly into factorycore
  • Shared across pillars, as the same module appears in salespulse

FennoAsk Fenno for a customer's order history and their open service tickets in the same answer, because it is all one system.

In practice

A customer calls about an order and mentions a past service issue, and the rep sees both in the same record instead of switching systems.

PrefCRM
factorycore ELO

Every quote, order, and invoice, archived automatically.

  • Central digital archive, captured automatically per order
  • Automated approval and processing workflows
  • Version control on every document
  • Mobile access from the field

FennoAsk Fenno for the signed order confirmation on any job, and it is already archived and searchable.

In practice

An invoice generated in factorycore SALES is automatically archived in factorycore ELO the moment it is created, with no separate filing step.

ELO

Why it matters

Manufacturers don't lose time in any one step. They lose it in the handoffs between steps. factorycore closes those gaps by running quoting, planning, production, inventory, and customer records on one shared foundation, so nothing has to be re-entered, re-checked, or re-explained between departments.

How it connects

factorycore's configurator and pricing draw from the same engineering foundation used across the entire preferp platform, so every quote your team builds is as accurate as the rules behind it. That same foundation, fendata, powers salespulse, the dealer-facing side of preferp: one shared engine, tailored tools for each audience. And because everything lives in one system, you can ask Fenno a plain-English question about quotes, orders, or stock and get an answer from live data.

factorycore: the fenestration ERP that runs everything, from first quote to final invoice.
