Stop losing time to spreadsheets. Start running your factory on one system.
Takticians software helps small manufacturers to get visibility of their whole factory system. Starts with getting production flowing smoothly and then increase sales through ecommerce for custom manufactured goods.
We help factories of 5-80 staff in sectors like food and beverage, metal fabrication, joinery and contract manufacturing get off a patchwork of software and onto a single system ready to take your business to the next level.
One integrated system for the whole team
Manufacturers often patch together an ecommerce system, ERP, inventory software, warehousing, and timesheeting, then rely on spreadsheets to report on what's actually happening — spreadsheets that are out of date before they're even finished.
Takticians is a integrated system with two key parts that help you stage implementation - first improve your production visibility and flow with FactoryFloor, then increase sales through ecommerce designed for custom manufacturers with FactoryDoor.
Unlimited users on any plan
Our monthly subscription supports your firm’s growth by including unlimited users which means everyone in the factory can use Takticians at their workstation. Double your head count and your software price stays the same.
Our subscriptions level up as the complexity and size of your operation increases.
A new factory location and new revenue streams takes you up to the next tier.
Get production flowing
Most manufacturing software optimises for keeping every person and machine busy every minute — that's how accountants think, not manufacturers.
Great factories optimise for flow instead, keeping work moving, spotting bottlenecks before they bite, and giving people room to respond. Takticians gives you that visibility across your shop floor, so you're not just filling the schedule — you're getting jobs flowing.
Build your production workflow — from order to delivery — the way your factory actually runs, capturing exactly the data you need to report on whatever you want to see. See bottlenecks and schedule alerts and act immediately from live data.
See your factory’s live processes
Manage items, batches, recipes, measurements, packages and BOMs throughout the process, while connecting with suppliers to handle purchase orders and invoices in one place.
Track inventory & costs across jobs
Make more sales through ecommerce for custom goods
Make it easier for customers to buy custom work online at 9pm.
Increasing sales can mean drowning in email enquiries for quotes and then wasting hours going backwards and forwards as customers explore different options.
Now you can let them upload a design file, get an automated price from their choices and pay by card.
Reduce manual quotes
What if you didn’t have to email back and forth to sell custom products? We create your own businesses unique calculation taking into account customer choices, techniques, materials, sizes and shipping.
Automate sales from 3D design files
Is your website just a catalogue of services or how to contact you?
Drive sales by allowing your customers to buy specialist or custom items online.
Even if it’s custom designed, 3D CAD, bundles or products with multiple choices and add-ons, Takticians can help. Get ahead of your competition.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
A traditional ERP is built around rigid, pre-defined processes that most small manufacturers end up bending their business to fit. Takticians is built around flow instead — you design your own workflow stages with a drag-and-drop builder, rather than adapting your factory to someone else's software.
-
Yes — Takticians is built specifically for small manufacturers, with a drag-and-drop workflow builder and no-consultant-needed setup, rather than the complex configuration typical ERPs require. Make changes yourself whenever you need.
-
Each person only sees and logs what's relevant to their role, so the learning curve per person is small — floor staff log their own job progress as they work, rather than the whole team needing to learn a full back-office system.
-
Yes, both FactoryFloor and FactoryDoor integrate with Xero, so production and sales data flows straight into your accounts without manual re-entry.
-
Yes. FactoryDoor gives you a live ecommerce storefront where customers can upload their own designs, get an instant quote, and pay through Stripe — without needing to phone or email you first.
-
No. Takticians' implementation team works through setup one stage at a time, so you adopt what you're ready for when you're ready for it, rather than a single all-or-nothing switchover. Read about staged implementation in our blog
