Brytebuild replaces the spreadsheets and whiteboards that most small manufacturers still run on, and it does it without forcing you to buy a separate quality system. Take an order, explode the bill of materials, see what to buy and when, schedule the work against real machine capacity, run it on the floor, despatch it and invoice it. The invoice and the cost of goods sold land in the Xero or Sage account you already use, so nothing is keyed twice. When a customer rings to ask where their order is, you send them a link. No login, no password to reset. They see the live build stage and the estimated ready date themselves. When an auditor asks you to trace a batch, the answer takes seconds rather than an afternoon, because every serial number knows which supplier lot it came from and which customer it went to. Built in the UK, priced in pounds, minimum two users, with cheaper execute-only seats so the whole workshop can be on the system.
