Phocus
The operating system for
modern manufacturers
Replace disconnected spreadsheets, legacy ERP, and point solutions with seven integrated modules — purpose-built for discrete manufacturers with 50–500 employees.
Platform at a glance
Seven modules.
One connected system.
Each module handles a distinct part of your operation. Data flows automatically between them — so nothing gets lost and decisions happen faster.
Team
Your people, org structure, and certifications — the foundation every module builds on
- People directory with full role and certification history
- Department hierarchy with cost-center rollups
- Training tracker with expiration alerts
- Unified access control across all seven modules
Project
Product design, multi-level BOMs, and engineering approval gates with full revision history
- Multi-level BOM editor with drag-and-drop nesting
- Version-controlled product records — every change tracked
- Approval gates with configurable sign-off chains
- Release-to-Win handoff locks the product structure
Win
From lead to signed order — quote with BOM-based pricing, configure options, and close with DocuSign
- CRM workspace with opportunity pipeline by stage
- Product configurator with option-driven pricing
- PDF quote generation with automatic BOM cost rollup
- DocuSign e-signature with multi-draft approval routing
Control
Your shop floor command center — schedule, track, and execute production in real time
- Drag-and-drop schedule board with constraint visualization
- Work center setup with routing templates and labor rates
- Live labor and material tracking against standard hours
- Real-time WIP status visible to every department
Care
Quality inspections, warranty claims, and root cause analysis that feeds back into design
- Service case workspace with full build history context
- Root cause tagging that links defects to specific BOMs
- Warranty claim workflow with customer notification
- Closeout documentation with photo and sign-off capture
Measure
Executive dashboards pulling live data from every module — not a monthly report, a live picture
- Configurable KPI dashboards with target vs. actual
- Alert rules that fire when metrics breach thresholds
- Financial integration with NetSuite or QuickBooks
- Cross-module rollups — one view of the whole operation
Brain
The intelligence layer that connects the dots humans miss — analyzing data across all six modules
“Your shop floor runs on spreadsheets, email, and tribal knowledge.”
Sound familiar?
Disconnected Systems
Sales quotes in one tool, BOMs in another, scheduling on a whiteboard. A signed order sits in someone's inbox for two days before production even hears about it.
No Real-Time Visibility
The VP asks "where are we on the Henderson order?" and three people scramble to build a status report from four different systems. That takes a morning.
Scaling Breaks Everything
At 30 people, the production manager held the schedule in his head. At 100, he can't. And the Access database from 2008 sure wasn't built for this.
Phocus connects every department into one living system — from quote to quality report.
Built for how manufacturers
actually work
6 capabilitiesLive Shop Floor Status
WIP counts, labor hours, and material readiness update in real time — not from yesterday's spreadsheet.
Adopt at Your Pace
Each module works independently. Start with Team + Control, add Win when sales is ready. No forced rollout sequence.
Full Audit Trail
Every change is logged — who modified what, when, and why. Export the history for compliance reviews or internal investigations.
Role-Scoped Access
A shop lead sees their work centers. A VP sees the full pipeline. Permissions are inherited from Team — set once, enforced everywhere.
Cross-Module Intelligence
Brain correlates data no single module can see — late shipment patterns, warranty clusters by BOM revision, labor overruns by product line.
Azure-Hosted, Tenant-Isolated
Your data lives in its own tenant scope. Encrypted at rest and in transit. SOC 2 Type II on the roadmap.
How you get started
No big-bang rollout. No 6-month implementation. Here's what the first month looks like.
We set up your org in Team
Import your people, departments, and roles from a spreadsheet or your existing HR system. This takes about an hour — and every module you add later inherits the structure.
Pick the module that hurts most
Most shops start with Control (scheduling) or Win (quoting). You don't need all seven on day one. Each module works independently — adopt at your own pace.
Your data starts flowing
When you add a second module, the handoff is automatic. Win closes a deal and the order appears in Control. No CSV exports, no re-keying, no "did you get my email?"
Brain starts finding patterns
Once two or more modules are active, Brain analyzes the cross-module data — flagging late orders before they're late, spotting warranty patterns across product lines, and surfacing the priorities your team would otherwise miss.
“Our production manager used to spend Monday mornings updating a spreadsheet just so Tuesday's stand-up had numbers. Now she opens Control and it's right there — live WIP, labor hours, material readiness. We got a whole day back every week.”
“The Win-to-Control handoff was the thing that sold us. We had a signed order sit in someone's inbox for three days once because the sales team forgot to forward the spec. With Phocus, the order hits the schedule board the moment DocuSign closes.”
Sarah Chen
Director of Manufacturing, Apex Industrial Systems
“Brain caught something we'd missed for eight months — three different hull models, all failing the same gelcoat adhesion test. Same supplier, same batch window. Root cause was traced in Care, linked back to the BOM in Project, and we had a corrective action open in 20 minutes.”
