Manufacturing & Production

End-to-end production management from raw materials to finished goods

Predictiv Manufacturing provides complete production control for discrete, process, and mixed-mode manufacturers. From Bill of Materials management to shop floor execution, quality control to finished goods inventory—everything connects in a single system.

Built for manufacturers in Africa who need to maximise production efficiency while managing the realities of supply chain uncertainty, power interruptions, and multi-currency operations.

Challenges We Solve

Real problems faced by manufacturing & production businesses—and how Predictiv addresses them.

Production Planning Complexity

Challenge

Balancing customer demand, raw material availability, and production capacity manually.

Solution

MRP-driven planning with real-time visibility into materials, capacity, and customer requirements.

Quality Control

Challenge

Quality issues discovered late in production or, worse, by customers.

Solution

Integrated quality checkpoints throughout production with batch traceability and non-conformance management.

Shop Floor Visibility

Challenge

Paper-based production tracking with no real-time view of work-in-progress.

Solution

Mobile shop floor data collection, real-time production dashboards, and OEE tracking.

Costing Accuracy

Challenge

Actual production costs unknown until month-end, making pricing decisions difficult.

Solution

Real-time work order costing with material, labour, and overhead allocation.
