Key features

Reliable production monitoring

Production management

MCA Watch allows you to plan and control all production processes, with finite or infinite capacity, early or late planning modes.

You plan and schedule the various stages of production by checking the availability of raw materials and products, staff capacities and machines according to the workload and deadlines to be met.

Subcontracting operations are integrated into the production process, with the planning, dispatch and follow-up of subcontractor orders.

The MRP module accurately manages material, component, labour and machine resources to maximise their use while minimising costs.

It calculates the quantity of raw materials and materials needed to produce your next orders as well as the actual production costs according to your bills of material and operations.

MCA Watch also includes the management of customer and supplier weights and balances, and allows for the calculation of the cost price taking into account the exchange rate and the market price for precious materials.

You monitor the progress of production in the production schedule with an overview of current activities, deadlines, the quantity of materials and components consumed and the capacity situation.

Alerts can be created to warn you, for example, of missing components for an operation or missed deadlines.

If necessary, you can easily make changes in your planning.

Technical data management

MCA Watch manages all the technical data for products manufactured or purchased, allowing you to create your own product sheets and insert technical data for items such as designation, description, unit of measure, product category, production range and commercial and logistical data.

The product sheet allows you to consult various information relating to a product such as stock status, batches or supplier prices.

Bills of material (single and multi-level) and manufacturing and assembly ranges are also supported by the software.

MCA Watch can be connected to your CAD/CAM or other software to enable the communication of information between the two programs. This allows MCA Watch to retrieve technical data or BOMs from CAD/CAM software to align product design with manufacture.

Cost management

MCA Watch includes job/project management: the software groups all the information concerning a job or project (orders, material consumption, documentation, planned and completed hours, costs, etc.) to simplify administration and monitoring.

The Financial Project module allows you to monitor in real time the costs and revenues (realised and committed) related to a business or project.

The different costs (materials, subcontractors, labour, etc.) are visible in a financial table, which allows you to compare the actual costs with the forecasted costs and the initial budget while evaluating your margin and break-even point. You are also able to control the evolution of the cost price.

Project reports allow you to carry out a budgetary control in order to detect points of improvement to be taken into account when planning future projects, but also to compare the profitability of two different projects.

Purchasing and stock management

You administer the calls for tender for the selection of your suppliers and manage your supplier purchases by incorporating the various rules set (quantities, rates applied, transport and replenishment times, etc.).

Stock management allows you to control the status and movement of stocks by taking into account batch or serial numbers or other characteristics.

The MRP module ensures supply by minimising the risk of stock-outs and overstocking.

You manage procurement according to stock levels and material requirements, monitoring supplier orders, deliveries and supplier invoice payments. Order points can be defined to avoid stock-outs.

Supplier records are updated with each new transaction to provide you with a complete history.

If you have several storage sites, you can control the storage of your stocks and easily locate the materials you need among your different sites.

Quality control and traceability

You ensure quality control and compliance with regulations, in particular through the traceability of your production by batch and serial numbers. Each good can be tracked throughout its life cycle (manufacturing, subcontracting, leaving the factory, repair, etc.).

MCA Watch integrates the management of control ranges, non-conformities on finished or in-process products (suppliers or customers), and corrective and preventive actions to be taken.

Invoicing

You can easily create and edit your quotes, delivery notes or orders in the software. Estimates are transformed into invoices in one click, with a professional layout predefined by you.

VAT management is easy because it is integrated into the software and can be configured according to the standards in force.

The management of unpaid bills is done within the software itself, with automatic alerts and reminders.

Accounting

The accounting is integrated into your management: no need to re-enter all the data for the various balance sheets. MCA Watch integrates all accounts and manages inputs, outputs and expenses.

After-sales management

MCA Watch integrates customer service with contract tracking, warranty management, repair estimates, spare parts and repair scheduling.

You manage the recall of parts in the event of a defect as well as returns to the workshop for repair, keeping track of the operations carried out, with monitoring of the hours spent and components consumed for the repairs.

MCA Watch also records complaints in the form of a ticket using the CRM and then integrates them into the relevant customer file.

Customer management

You can easily manage your contacts and customer relationships in the software.

MCA Watch compiles various customer information in files: it lists orders, payment status, complaints or exchanges between the company and the contact. It thus allows to ensure all the customer follow-up with the follow-up of the orders and the management of the after-sales service.

Employee management

Employees are also integrated into MCA Watch, and salaries and related deductions can be defined.

Hours can be managed in different ways: either with fixed hours, or with a stamper connected to the software, or with manual time insertion.

Holidays, paid leave and justified or unjustified absences are all integrated and can be set up according to your rules.

Report and analysis

Management reports allow you to analyse the data collected by the software. You can format them as you wish to remove the elements that interest you.

For example, you can examine the return rate of your various products or material losses, or evaluate the performance of your teams according to various criteria.
