Big Beam Development & Technology

Service job, production and inventory software

The workshop floor and the service bay, with the measurements and the stock ledger that come out of them — built for work that has tolerances, materials and mileage.

7 modules

Operations modules

  • Standard
  • Configurable
  • Custom scope
OPS.01Standard

Service jobs

Equipment in for inspection, testing or repair. Customer complaint, scope of work, assigned engineer, priority, fitness status and final conclusion — linked back to the quotation, sales order or delivery it belongs to.

OPS.02Configurable

Equipment types

Reusable specification, inspection and test templates per equipment type. Add an item to a job and its standard checklist instantiates itself, so two engineers test the same equipment the same way.

OPS.03Standard

Measurements & reports

Entries are typed — assessment, inspection, test, progress, part, conclusion — and a test entry records method and tool, initial and final value, unit, tolerance and result. Before-and-after photos flag individually for inclusion, and the whole job prints as a consolidated service report.

OPS.04Standard

Daily production

Per machine, per shift, with downtime minutes and reason, and per-line quantity produced, waste quantity and rejection reason. Entries move Draft → Submitted → Locked.

OPS.05Configurable

SKU master & BOM

A two-level parent-SKU to sub-SKU hierarchy with auto-generated codes, carrying size, material, pressure rating, length and unit of measure. Each sub-SKU maps to its raw materials through a versioned bill of materials.

OPS.06Standard

Stock ledger

Every movement is a row: goods received, production in, production out, sale out, adjustment, return in — each with quantity in, quantity out and the running balance after it. Reorder levels drive an out-of-stock, low-stock and in-stock view on the dashboard.

OPS.07Standard

Machines

Machine register with status — active, inactive, under maintenance — and the parent and sub-SKUs each machine is capable of running.

Built for work with measurements, materials and mileage

Generic business software assumes you sell things off a shelf. Inspection, testing, fabrication and production create different records: a tolerance, a fitness status, a pressure rating, a rejected quantity and the reason for it. The Operations workspace has those fields because the work needed them.

Each equipment type carries its own specification, inspection and test templates, so booking an item in instantiates the checklist and two engineers test the same equipment the same way. Test entries record the method and tool, initial and final value, unit, tolerance and result, and the whole job prints as one branded service report. On the production side, entries are made per machine per shift, products carry a versioned bill of materials, and every stock movement is a ledger row with a running balance.

Common questions

Can we define our own inspection and test templates?

Yes. Templates are configured per equipment type in the application — no developer needed. Add an item to a job and its standard checklist appears automatically.

Is the bill of materials versioned?

Yes. Each sub-SKU maps to its raw materials through a versioned bill of materials, carried to four decimal places, and a standing report compares raw material purchased with raw material consumed in production.

When does stock actually change?

On the goods receipt, on production entries and on sales — never on the purchase order. Every movement is a ledger row (goods received, production in, production out, sale out, adjustment, return in) with the balance after it.
