AI-native ERP for
heavy machinery manufacturing
Built for long build cycles, giant BOMs and project-based assembly — with agents that time high-value procurement to milestones and flag a delay before it slips the timeline.
From project order to handover, one flow
A single build cascades through every milestone — each step feeding the next, with nobody rekeying anything.
A project order lands
A build order for a machine drops into Likwid as a project with its own timeline and budget.
One late part slips the build
Across a twelve-week build and a five-thousand-line BOM, a single mistimed casting cascades into weeks of delay. Generic ERPs can't see it building up.
Long production cycles
8–12 week build times demand careful planning and milestone tracking.
Multi-stage assemblies
Complex workflows with interdependent stages and sub-assemblies.
High-value procurement
Expensive motors, hydraulics and castings need strategic, timed sourcing.
BOMs with 500–5,000 line items
Massive bills of materials that demand precise tracking and version control.
How Likwid runs a machine build
Dedicated workflows for project-based, engineer-to-order manufacturing — not a generic ERP with a machinery sticker on it.
Explore Likwid ERPProject-based ERP
01Runs each build as a project with its own timeline, budget and resource allocation.
Milestone-driven procurement
02Aligns buying to project milestones so materials arrive exactly when needed.
Vendor scoring for critical components
03Evaluates casting, motor and hydraulic suppliers on quality and reliability.
AI alerts for assembly delays
04Proactive notifications the moment any stage risks the overall timeline.
Massive multi-level BOMs
05Handles 500–5,000-line bills with full version control and traceability.
Milestone cost tracking
06Tracks budget against milestones so overruns surface early, not at handover.
"A five-thousand-line BOM used to live across a dozen sheets. Likwid runs each machine as a project, times the castings to the milestone, and warns us before a stage slips."
