Subcontract Manufacturing Process Management

Full visibility across your outsourced production cycle — from component purchase order to kit despatch, GRN, and inventory update. No more blind spots.

What It Does

What is Subcontract Manufacturing Management?

Manufacturers who outsource part of their production face a unique visibility problem: once components leave your facility to a subcontractor, you lose sight of them. You don't know if the kit was received, when the work is done, how many finished goods are coming back, or how it affects your stock levels.

Evenware's subcontract manufacturing module manages the entire outsourced production workflow end-to-end. Raise a component purchase order, assemble and despatch a kit to your subcontractor, receive the finished goods back with a Goods Received Note (GRN), and watch your inventory update automatically — all linked in a single traceable workflow.

You get complete production costing (component cost + subcontractor fee) and inventory accuracy at every stage of the process.

How It Works

The complete subcontract production workflow.

Four linked steps — each one automatically updates the next. Full traceability, no manual bridging.

1

Component PO

Raise a purchase order for the raw components needed for production. Stock is updated on receipt.

2

Kit Despatch

Assemble the production kit from stock and despatch to your subcontractor. Inventory is adjusted on despatch.

3

GRN

Receive finished goods back from the subcontractor. Record the Goods Received Note with quantities and condition.

4

Inventory Update

Finished goods are added to your stock automatically. Full production cost is calculated and recorded.

Key Benefits

Why it matters for your business.

End-to-end visibility

Track every kit from your warehouse to the subcontractor's facility and back — in real time, with no data entry gaps.

Accurate production costing

Know the true cost of every production run — components, subcontractor fee, and yield — automatically calculated.

Inventory accuracy

Stock levels are always accurate — components deducted on despatch, finished goods added on GRN automatically.

Full traceability

Every batch is traceable from raw component PO through to finished goods — ideal for quality and compliance.
