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 watchmaking production

Watch components and references

Each component is defined precisely, in the right version and for the right client.

  • Component records: internal and client reference, material, dimensions, tolerances and weight
  • Drawings, CAD files and technical specifications linked to each component
  • Versions and revisions tracked so the workshop always works to the correct definition
  • Variants of the same component by:
    • material
    • finish
    • decoration
    • calibre or model
  • Multi-level bills of materials for sub-assemblies and assemblies
  • Manufacturing instructions and procedures available directly at the workbench
  • Complete history of changes to each reference

Manufacturing and finishing

Every stage of the watch component is tracked, from machining to finishing.

  • Watchmaking-specific routings:
    • bar turning, gear cutting and component machining
    • EDM, laser, drilling and tapping
    • grinding and heat treatment
  • Finishing and decoration operations:
    • bevelling
    • perlage
    • polishing
    • engraving
    • decoration
  • Management of small batches and high value-added production
  • Production orders with quantities completed, pending and scrapped
  • Progress tracking for each batch, operation by operation
  • Set-up, manufacturing and finishing times recorded at each workstation
  • Assembly of watch sub-assemblies and assemblies

Precious materials, subcontracting and traceability

Valuable materials and external treatments are tracked through to delivery of the component.

  • Management of precious metals, brass, steel, titanium and synthetic materials
  • Stock by batch and by location, including at subcontractors
  • Traceability of material from receipt to finished component
  • Subcontracting of specialised operations:
    • electroplating
    • surface treatments
    • heat treatment
    • decoration and engraving
    • polishing
  • Tracking of quantities sent and returned, lead times and costs for each subcontractor
  • Complete origin of each part: material batch, production order, machine, operator, operations, inspections and treatments

Aesthetic inspection and profitability

Visual and dimensional quality is checked at every stage and the actual cost of each batch is known.

  • Aesthetic inspection of finishes and decorations
  • Dimensional inspections with tolerances, measuring instruments and acceptance criteria
  • In-process and final inspections
  • Non-conformities, scrap, rework and corrective actions
  • Cost price per component: material, machine time, finishing, set-ups and subcontracting
  • Comparison between planned and actual cost for each batch
  • Deliveries with batches, certificates and inspection reports
  • Principal's portal to track order progress and download certificates
