## What is included

- **Quote to cash in one thread:** An enquiry becomes a quote, an order, a works order, a despatch note and an invoice without a single field being retyped. Every document links back to the one before it.
- **Live stock everywhere it matters:** Free, allocated and on-order quantities visible on the quote screen, the order screen and the shop floor - across every location and bin.
- **Production that reflects reality:** Multi-level bills of materials, works orders, routings and capacity planning, with actual time and materials booked against the estimate.
- **Costing down to the line:** Margin by customer, product, job and salesperson - calculated from what things actually cost, not from a standard cost set three years ago.
- **Finance without double entry:** Sales and purchase invoicing with two-way sync to Xero, Sage and QuickBooks. Your accountant keeps the ledger they know; you stop keying invoices twice.
- **Permissions and audit as standard:** Granular role-based access, approval workflows and an immutable audit log of every change - included, not an enterprise add-on.

## Real-world use cases

### A fabricator running on three spreadsheets

**Scenario:** A 45-person metal fabricator quoted from one spreadsheet, tracked jobs on a whiteboard and invoiced from their accounts package. Nobody could say what a finished job had actually cost until the month-end management accounts landed six weeks later.
**Outcome:** Quotes are now built from a live material price list and convert straight to works orders. Time and material bookings feed job costing in real time, and the whiteboard has been replaced by a shop-floor screen showing the same data as the sales office.

### A distributor with a stock accuracy problem

**Scenario:** A trade distributor across two warehouses was promising stock it did not have. Stock figures lived in the accounts package and were updated once a day, so the sales team were quoting on yesterday’s numbers.
**Outcome:** Barcode scanning on goods-in, picking and stock takes brought accuracy above 99%. Sales now see free stock live, allocated stock is reserved at order entry, and short-shipments have effectively stopped.

### A business where the founder was the system

**Scenario:** An installation company’s pricing rules, supplier lead times and customer quirks lived entirely in the managing director’s head. Every unusual order went through him, and nobody could cover his holidays.
**Outcome:** Customer-specific pricing, contract rates and supplier lead times are now held in the system and applied automatically. The order desk handles the exceptions without escalating, and the MD has stopped being a bottleneck.

## Figures

- **1 record** Enquiry to invoice, no rekeying between stages
- **Live** Stock, margin and job cost, not a monthly report
- **UK** Hosted, supported and built in Britain

## Frequently asked questions

**How long does an ERP implementation take?**

For a typical business of twenty to a hundred people, expect eight to sixteen weeks from kick-off to going live - discovery, configuration, data migration, training, then a supported cutover. Businesses with complex manufacturing or multiple sites take longer. We will give you a realistic range after discovery, not an optimistic one to win the order.

**Do we have to replace our accounts package?**

No. CubeERP handles sales and purchase invoicing and syncs both ways with Xero, Sage and QuickBooks. Most customers keep the ledger their accountant is comfortable with and let CubeERP handle everything upstream of it.

**Can it handle our existing data?**

Yes. Customers, suppliers, parts, bills of materials, price lists, open orders and stock balances are all migrated as part of the implementation. We migrate, you reconcile against your old system, and we only cut over once the numbers agree.

**What if our process is unusual?**

Then it gets built. Crushed Ice sits in the same group and has been writing bespoke business systems since 2003. The difference is that they build against a documented API on a platform we control, rather than bolting onto a black box.

**Where is the data hosted?**

In the UK, on infrastructure managed by the group, with encrypted backups and a documented recovery process. Data residency is part of the platform rather than a premium tier.
