Factory module — Trade Node

Recipes, work orders and machines on the shop floor.

For traders who also make — recipes define what goes in, work orders move through stations, waste is weighed honestly, and machines carry their maintenance history.

What it does for you

• Recipes, not memory: Define BOMs so every batch consumes and yields the same way on paper as on the floor.
• Work orders by station: Stage-wise work orders show exactly where a batch is stuck, on a live station board.
• Waste on a ledger: Scrap and waste recorded per run — visible trends instead of month-end shocks.
• Machines with history: A machine register with maintenance tracking, so breakdowns stop being folklore.

What's inside — 1 sub-module

Buying Factory switches on this sub-module in your Trade Node portal:

• Production: BOM recipes so every batch consumes and yields consistently, stage-wise work orders on a live station board, a waste ledger that shows trends instead of month-end shocks, and a machine register with maintenance history.

Pricing & activation

Live monthly pricing in ₹ (ex-GST) is shown on this page and on the pricing page. Modules activate online from your account the moment payment goes through and can be cancelled anytime — they run to the end of the paid period.

Where this fits in the platform

Factory belongs to goods, gates and the shop floor in the Trade Node deck, which walks through the whole platform in the order a buyer asks about it. Weighing this against a full suite? Read the comparison with Odoo, Zoho and TranZact.
