A common software foundation for every trade

The MCA-Kalé and MCA-Colibri business solutions are built on a common architecture, designed to meet the essential needs of any professional activity, whatever the sector. This foundation is organised around three main families of features: ERP, CRM and CMS, which together cover operational management, customer relations and document production.

Beyond this common foundation, each solution can be enriched with additional modules, specifically developed to meet the particularities of each business sector. With over 100 modules available, MCA-Kale covers a wide range of trades and gives every practice, firm or company a tool perfectly adapted to its specific needs.

Access governanceUser and access management makes it possible to steer and secure the whole ERP, CRM, CMS system by organising user accounts, defining custom profiles and controlling access rights. It ensures that each employee only has the features and information matching their role, while guaranteeing full traceability of the actions performed.
The foundation of operational managementThe ERP module is the core of the tool, with logistics, invoicing and accounting management. It also includes an HR module dedicated to payroll. This building block, shared by all users, guarantees reliable and centralised management of the company's administrative and financial flows.
Customer relationsThe CRM module handles the whole customer relationship: sending e-mails and letters, booking appointments, managing the schedule, sending SMS and newsletters, receiving customer requests, as well as a ticketing system to track requests related to logistics or invoicing.
Document managementThe creation of documents customised to business needs: letters, contracts, forms, questionnaires, while also generating usage statistics.

Designed for industrial production

Quotes, items and routings

Each part is costed, defined and prepared before it is released to production.

  • Customer enquiries, offers and quotes with prices based on quantities, customers and contracts
  • Item records: material, dimensions, tolerances, weight, customer reference, drawings and CAD files
  • Versions and revisions of each item
  • Single or multi-level bills of materials: materials, machined parts, sub-assemblies, consumables and subcontracted components
  • Routings:
    • sawing, turning and milling
    • bar turning and grinding
    • drilling, tapping and gear cutting
    • EDM, laser and vibratory finishing
    • assembly and packaging
  • Machines, tooling, set-up times and cycle times defined for each operation
  • Order confirmations and tracking of promised delivery dates

MRP, planning and scheduling

Requirements are calculated automatically and machine load is kept under control.

  • MRP calculation based on customer orders, forecasts, stock and production orders
  • Purchase and production order proposals generated automatically
  • Lead times and minimum stock levels taken into account
  • Planning of machining centres, workstations, operators and teams
  • Visualisation of load and capacity to spot overloads and delays
  • Scheduling based on:
    • customer urgency
    • availability of machines and materials
    • skills required
    • set-up times
    • batch grouping
  • Quick reorganisation of production in the event of last-minute changes

Workshop, machines and subcontracting

Production is tracked in real time, from small to large batches.

  • Production orders tracked from release to closure
  • Quantities produced, pending and scrapped, operations in progress or completed
  • Material consumption: steels, stainless steel, aluminium, brass, titanium and technical materials
  • Stocks of materials, semi-finished and finished products, by batch and by location
  • Recording of set-up, machining, assembly, inspection and waiting times
  • Comparison between theoretical and actual times to improve routings
  • Preventive and corrective maintenance, with machine downtime built into the schedule
  • Subcontracting of heat treatment, surface treatment, grinding or assembly
  • Tracking of quantities sent and returned, lead times and subcontractor costs

Quality, traceability and costs

Each part is inspected, traceable and its actual cost is known.

  • Dimensional, visual and functional inspections, in process and at final inspection
  • Tolerances, measuring instruments and acceptance criteria defined per item and per operation
  • Non-conformities, scrap, rework and corrective actions
  • Traceability of each part: material batch, supplier, production order, machine, operator, inspections and subcontractors
  • Cost price calculated from material, machine time, labour, tooling and subcontracting
  • Financial tracking per job: budget, actual costs, amount invoiced and margin
  • Partial deliveries, backorders and open orders, with certificates and accompanying documents
  • Customer portal to track orders and download certificates and inspection reports
