An AI native ERP for
manufacturing enterprises
Built purposefully for process as well as discrete manufacturing. Likwid is an adaptive, easy-to-use ERP designed for small and medium scale manufacturing companies.
Built for growing manufacturers
Likwid is for small and mid-size manufacturers — across the US and worldwide — who've outgrown spreadsheets and entry-level tools, but don't want the cost and drag of SAP or NetSuite.
You know the drill: stock in one sheet, orders in another, production on a whiteboard, QuickBooks for the books. Nothing talks to each other, and every number is a day old — the usual starting point for a spreadsheet to ERP move.
Likwid replaces all of it with one AI-native platform — and you're live and running in about three weeks, not a year. If you're shortlisting systems here, see the case for the best ERP for Indian manufacturers.
AI-native to the core
Agents run procurement, scheduling and collections — not just dashboards you fill in.
Off spreadsheets & QuickBooks
Stock, orders, production and books finally live in one connected place.
Priced for the mid-market
A full manufacturing ERP without the enterprise price tag or complexity.
Live in three weeks
Migration, setup and go-live — done in weeks, not quarters.
Five everyday jobs, before and after
The work most factories still do by hand — and how it runs on Likwid. Scroll through the stack.
Production Planning
Today · A planner and a spreadsheet
- The schedule is rebuilt in Excel every Monday morning
- Machine availability is confirmed by walking the floor
- Exploding the BOM by hand takes three to four hours
- One late material and the whole plan is redone
With Likwid · Scheduling from live data
- Reads open orders, machine capacity, and the BOM together
- Produces a working schedule in seconds, not hours
- Re-plans automatically when a machine or order changes
- Ask it: “What's the earliest I can ship order #4821?”
Procurement
Today · Phone calls, emails, and a spreadsheet
- Someone lists the shortfall materials by hand
- Six to eight vendors are contacted; quotes take two or three days
- Quotes are compared in a spreadsheet
- The PO is retyped into the system or emailed as a PDF
With Likwid · Requests raised the moment stock runs short
- A work order raises the RFQ on its own
- Vendors get it by email and SMS within minutes
- Quotes are ranked on price, lead time, and past quality
- You approve; the PO goes out in one click
Inventory
Today · A stock count at month-end
- Stock is reconciled once a month, often too late
- Shortages surface only when a line stops
- No single view across warehouses and plants
- Slow-moving stock quietly ties up working capital
With Likwid · One live view across every location
- Real-time stock across all warehouses and plants
- Reorder is triggered when an item hits its safety level
- Slow-movers are flagged before capital is stuck
- Roughly one to two weeks' warning before a stockout
Quality Control
Today · Inspection sheets and a rejection register
- Checks are recorded on paper at the line
- Rejections are written into a register
- Vendor quality isn't tracked in any consistent way
- A batch recall means searching through old records
With Likwid · Checks and traceability on record
- QC checklists filled on a tablet or phone
- A failed batch blocks the next step automatically
- Each vendor is scored on the quality of what they ship
- Trace any batch end to end in a few seconds
Reporting
Today · Two days of pulling numbers together
- A report request means an accountant loses two days
- Data is stitched from three separate spreadsheets
- By the time it's reviewed, the numbers have moved
- No live view of what's happening on the floor
With Likwid · Answers from the same data, on demand
- Ask for “last month's output by line” and get it now
- Dashboards update as production runs
- Variance alerts arrive before anyone has to ask
- Export a board-ready summary in one click
From order to paid, one flow
A single order cascades through the whole factory — each step feeding the next, with nobody rekeying anything.
An order lands
A customer PO drops into Likwid. That single event starts everything below.

ExploreThe screens your team lives in
Not mockups — the order book, the MRP run that nets it into a buy list, the board that surfaces what is about to slip, and the agent you can simply ask.
Every order, with its plan. Received and promised dates, quantity, value and whether it's been planned yet — the whole book on one screen, filtered by status.
| Order | Customer | Manual Code | Product | Received | ETC | Qty | Value | Status |

Orders become a buy list. The BOM explodes, demand nets against stock, open POs and WIP, and each line lands as Produce or Procure with the arithmetic shown — so approving an indent takes seconds, not an afternoon.
| Item | Type | Gross | Supply | Net | Need by | Conf. |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amoxicillin Trihydrate IPRM-AMX-01 | Procure | 3,400 kg | 1,100 | 2,300 | 22 Aug | 92% |
| Blended GranulesSF-BLD-21 | Produce | 5,200 kg | 1,900 | 3,300 | 19 Aug | 88% |
| Empty Gelatin Capsule · Size 0PK-CAP-00 | Procure | 1,20,000 No | 42,000 | 78,000 | 21 Aug | 76% |

What's at risk, before it slips. Open work orders, capacity per machine and material readiness in one window — the six that are short, overloaded or late are surfaced rather than discovered.
| Work Order | Qty | Status | Planned | Completion | Material |
