Engineer-to-order ERP

ERP built for engineer-to-order fabrication.

OctoForge is Third Octopus's engineer-to-order ERP for manufacturers of fabricated process equipment — heat exchangers, pressure vessels, reactors and columns. Every module lands on a management dashboard, and every number drills down to the records behind it.

What OctoForge does

Manufacturing ERP, module by module.

Engineer-to-order ERP for fabricated process equipment: from enquiry and weight-based estimate to heat-number traceability, weld logs and milestone invoicing.

Sales

Enquiry register, weight and alloy-based estimates with revisions, and sales orders with payment milestones.

Projects

Jobs are the costing unit: budget versus booked cost, schedule and progress in one view.

Procurement

Vendor register, purchase orders and goods receipts tied back to the job.

Stores & traceability

Heat-number stock lots with EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 MTCs and material issues — full job ↔ heat ↔ MTC traceability.

Production

Work orders across workcenters with planned versus actual hours.

Quality

Welder qualification register, per-joint weld log with NDT, NCRs, and an ITP register including TPI hold and witness points.

Dispatch

Shipments with mode, incoterm, packages and LR / BL / AWB references.

Finance

Milestone-linked customer invoices with GST IRN, AR ageing and vendor bills.

Masters

Customers, plants, product lines, industries, users and roles.

How it works

From first step to closure.

1

Capture the enquiry

Log the enquiry, build a weight and alloy-based estimate, revise it and convert it to a sales order with milestones.

2

Run the job

Procure material, receive heat-number lots with MTCs, issue to the job and raise work orders across workcenters.

3

Prove the quality

Record every weld joint and its NDT, manage NCRs, and track ITP hold and witness points with the inspector.

4

Dispatch and invoice

Ship with the right documents, invoice against milestones with GST IRN, and watch AR ageing on the dashboard.

Who it is for

Built for teams that must show their work.

Every module opens on a management dashboard with one three-level drill-down: executive KPIs → grouped analysis → record lists and detail. A global filter set — financial year, date range, plant, industry, product line, customer — is carried through the URL, so every figure reconciles with the records behind it.

  • Heat exchanger and pressure vessel fabricators
  • Reactor, column and skid manufacturers
  • Engineer-to-order job shops that must prove material traceability to inspectors and end clients

Frequently asked

Questions about OctoForge.

What kind of manufacturer is OctoForge for?

Engineer-to-order manufacturers of fabricated process equipment — heat exchangers, pressure vessels, reactors, columns and similar fabricated equipment where every job is costed and traced individually.

Does OctoForge track material traceability?

Yes. Stock is held as heat-number lots with their EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2 mill test certificates, and every material issue links the job, the heat number and the MTC.

Does it handle quality documentation?

OctoForge includes a welder qualification register, a per-joint weld log with NDT results, non-conformance reports, and an ITP register with third-party-inspection hold and witness points.

Can OctoForge run on our own infrastructure?

Yes. OctoForge is a server-rendered web application backed by PostgreSQL that can be deployed on your own servers or hosted by Third Octopus.

Does it support Indian GST invoicing?

Customer invoices are milestone-linked and carry the GST IRN, with AR ageing and vendor bills in the same Finance module.
