Build custom manufacturing software with AI

Describe how work moves through your shop floor and NeoBuild generates the app for it — work orders, task handoffs, quality checks and approvals — as a React (Vite) app on a Supabase database you own.

In short

Manufacturing ERPs are built for the average factory, so small manufacturers end up running the real workflow on spreadsheets and WhatsApp around them. NeoBuild builds the missing piece around how your floor actually works, and changes it when the floor does.

What your manufacturing app includes

Features you get

  • Work orders with stages from planned to dispatched
  • Task handoffs between roles with mandatory completion notes
  • Quality checks that can reopen and reassign work with feedback
  • Admin approval before a job is marked complete
  • Mobile-first screens for supervisors and engineers on the floor
  • Dashboards for throughput, bottlenecks and overdue jobs

Data model NeoBuild sets up

  • work_orders (number, customer, product, qty, due_date, stage)
  • tasks (work_order, assignee, role, status, completion_note)
  • quality_checks (task, checked_by, result, feedback)
  • approvals (work_order, approver, decision, decided_at)
  • staff (name, role, shift)

Built on NeoBuild by real teams

How NeoBuild builds it

  1. Describe the floor — Your stages, who hands work to whom, and where quality is checked.
  2. Preview one job end to end — Raise a work order and walk it through every stage and approval.
  3. Add what the floor asks for — Shift views, rework reasons, a dispatch checklist — ask in chat.
  4. Own it — No per-seat licence: export the React app and keep the data in your own Supabase project.

Try this prompt in NeoBuild

Example promptBuild a production tracking app for a 60-person fabrication workshop: work orders with customer, product, quantity and due date moving through Cutting, Welding, Machining, QC and Dispatch; each stage assigned to a supervisor who must add a completion note before handing off; QC can pass or send work back with a reason; the plant head approves before dispatch. Mobile-first for supervisors, plus a dashboard of overdue orders and jobs stuck in each stage.

FAQ

Is this a replacement for a manufacturing ERP?

Usually not, and it does not need to be. Keep the ERP for accounting, GST and inventory valuation. NeoBuild is for the workflows the ERP handles badly or not at all — shop-floor task tracking, quality rework loops, approvals and quoting — built to match how your team actually works.

Has a manufacturer actually built this with NeoBuild?

Yes. VHB Engineering Solutions, a Chennai factory-automation firm, replaced a rigid per-seat SaaS tool with a role-based task app in 7 days, then built an AI proposal app that cut quoting from about 2 days to 30 minutes. Both stories are linked on this page.

Can it connect to machines or PLCs?

Not directly — NeoBuild generates web apps, not machine integrations. Operators or supervisors record progress in the app. If your machines already push data to a database or API, a developer can connect it to the exported React app, since the source is yours.

Does cost grow with the number of workers?

No. The people on your floor are users of your app, not NeoBuild seats. You pay for the AI tokens used to build and change the app — 1 Million free, then $1 (₹100) per 100,000 — plus your own Supabase and hosting costs.

Build the manufacturing app you can keep

Describe your workflow in plain English. NeoBuild generates a React app with live preview, a Supabase-backed data model, and export paths via ZIP or GitHub.
