Running a factory on spreadsheets

The work gets done. The numbers don't keep up.

Materials come in, products go out and invoices get paid, but stock, costs and money live in different notebooks and files. Ingot keeps them in one place, so every number agrees with every other.

Stock that only adds up on paper

The register says 400 brackets, the shelf says 310, and nobody knows which delivery or production run the difference went into.

Costs nobody can see

What does one finished piece really cost in steel, paint, bolts and labour? Without that number, every quotation is a guess.

Invoices in one place, payments in another

Quotations in Word, orders in a notebook, invoices in Excel and payments in the bank app. Who still owes you, and since when?

One broken PC away from losing it all

Years of customers, stock and accounts on a single disk with no copy anywhere else, until the day that disk stops working.

From raw material to paid invoice

Buy, make, sell, know.

1
Buy
Raise a purchase order, receive the goods against it (in part if they arrive in part), and the stock, its cost and what you owe the supplier update together.
2
Make
A bill of materials says what goes into one piece. A production order shows what you need, what's short and what's on order, and recording the run turns materials into finished goods at full cost.
3
Sell
Quote, convert to an order in one click, deliver from stock, invoice and record the payment. Every step starts from the one before it, already filled in.
4
Know
The dashboard and reports show today's sales, who owes what, stock value, profit and loss, and what to order or make next.

The dashboard in the dark theme: today's sales, receivables, stock value, the 30-day sales chart and the getting-started checklist

One app for the whole business

Everything between the store room and the bank.

Built for the people who run the floor, the store and the office: quick to learn, hard to get wrong, and honest about the numbers.

Raw materials & stock

Every kilo, metre and piece, accounted for.

All stock lives in one ledger. Every receipt, issue, production run, delivery and adjustment is an entry in it, so the balance on screen, the registers and the books can never disagree.

Any unit: pieces, kilos, litres, metres, boxes, with the decimals you allow
Weighted average cost, updated with every receipt
Reorder levels, with low stock flagged on the dashboard and one click to order or make more
Locations, transfers, adjustments and physical counts that post only the difference

Raw materials: steel rod, steel sheet, bolts, paint and cartons with what's on hand, reorder level, average cost, value and status, three of them low

Inward & outward registers

The registers you keep by hand, kept for you.

Goods received, production output, deliveries and issues appear in the inward and outward registers the moment they're recorded, with the supplier or customer, reference, quantity and value.

Filter by date, location and type of entry, and search anything
Print either register, or save it as a PDF
Entries are never edited or deleted: cancelling one posts the reverse, with the reason
Every change records who made it and when

The inward register for last month: production entries for cable trays, brackets and hinges, and goods received from four suppliers, with quantities and values

Quotations to payments

From quotation to cash, without typing anything twice.

A quotation becomes an order in one click, keeping its prices and discounts. Deliver from stock, invoice what went out, and record payments against each invoice until it's paid.

Discounts and tax per line, prices with or without tax
Partial deliveries and partial invoices, or deliver and invoice in one step
Due dates from each customer's payment terms, and overdue invoices flagged
Advances taken before the invoice, applied when you invoice
Quotations, orders, invoices and delivery notes printed on your letterhead

Invoices: thirty invoices with their customer, due date, total and what's still owed, marked unpaid, part paid or overdue

Quotations waiting for an answer, with the customer, total and the date each one is valid until

Credit notes & returns

When goods come back, the books follow.

Take back part or all of an invoice with a credit note. It comes off what the customer owes, or is refunded if they've already paid, and returned goods go back into stock at the cost they left at.

Line by line, at the invoice's own prices, discounts and tax
Refunds paid from the cash or bank account you choose
Returns to suppliers from the purchase order, credited at the order price
Supplier credit notes for price differences, and bills you'll pay later

A credit note for an invoice: the item and quantity taken back, the goods coming back into stock, and the amount paid back to the customer from the bank

Accounts

Real accounts, without knowing debit from credit.

Every receipt, invoice, payment, production run and expense posts its own balanced journal. Your accountant gets a trial balance, ledgers and ageing; you get the answers in plain words.

Cash and bank books, customer and supplier statements
Receivables and payables by age: not due, 1 to 30 days late, and older
Tax charged and paid, ready for your return
Manual journals for capital, loans and transfers, reversed rather than deleted

Accounts overview: what customers owe, what you owe suppliers, VAT to pay and profit this month, with cash in hand and bank balances

Customers owe: each customer's unpaid invoices split by how late they are

Reports

Daily and monthly reports, one click from Excel.

Nine reports cover the day and the month: what was sold, received and paid, profit and loss, the balance sheet, expenses, sales by customer and item, stock value on any date, purchases and material use.

Today, this month, last month, this year or any dates
Print, save as PDF, or export to Excel with real numbers that total and filter
Sales by item with cost and margin, so you know which products earn their keep
Each role sees only the reports it should

Profit and loss for this month: income, gross profit, gross margin, expenses and net profit, with each account listed

Arabic & VAT

Tax invoices in English and Arabic. The VAT return, worked out.

Switch on Arabic and every quotation, order, invoice, credit note and delivery note prints in both languages, with your Arabic letterhead. At the end of the period, the tax return report adds up what to pay.

Arabic labels under the English, and Arabic names for customers and items
Tax on sales and purchases by rate, for any period
Checked against the accounts, so you know the figures agree
The UAE VAT201 boxes filled in for you

A tax invoice printed in English and Arabic: the Arabic letterhead on the right, Arabic labels under each heading and Arabic item names under the English

The tax return: VAT on sales and purchases, the figures checked against the accounts, and the VAT201 boxes

Several PCs

The office, the store and the shop floor, on the same numbers.

One PC keeps the data and the backups. The others connect to it over the office network, and everyone works on the same stock, orders and accounts with their own login. Still no internet needed.

Pair a PC in a minute with a 6-digit code shown on the main PC
Everything between the PCs is encrypted with a key only they share
An invoice saved on one PC shows on the others within a second or two
Excel imports, exports and receipt photos work from any PC; printing happens on the PC in front of you

Network settings on the main PC: other PCs allowed to connect, the PC's name and address, and a 6-digit pairing code for the next PC

Opening data

Start with what you already have.

Fill in one Excel template with your items and stock, what customers owe, what you owe suppliers and your cash and bank balances. Ingot checks every row first and lists anything to fix before it saves a thing.

Your units, locations and accounts listed in the template
Common column names like Qty, UOM and Balance recognised
Problems listed by sheet and row, so they're quick to fix
Everything imported in one go, or nothing at all

Import opening data: a checked file with 42 items, 17 customers, 6 suppliers and cash and bank balances, and two problems to fix by sheet and row

Try it first

Explore a working factory before you enter a thing.

On the first screen, choose "Explore Ingot with a sample company". You get a small metal workshop with six weeks of purchases, production, sales, payments and expenses, and a login for every role.

Every screen and report full of realistic figures
Sign in as sales, store keeper or accountant to see what each sees
Clear it with one click and set up your own business

The first-run screen: four short steps to set up your business, and the option to explore Ingot with a sample company

Automatic backups

Your business, safe even if the PC isn't.

Backups are on from the first day and need no one to remember them. The status bar always says when the last one was saved and where, and the dashboard warns you if a location stops working.

On a schedule: Every 1 to 24 hours while Ingot is open, and again when it closes. Nothing is written when nothing changed.
In several places: A folder on the PC, a USB drive, Google Drive, or S3-compatible storage such as Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2 or Backblaze B2.
Locked with a password: Each backup is compressed and encrypted, so a lost USB drive is useless to whoever finds it.
Checked every time: Each copy is verified when it's written. An unplugged drive is caught up when it's back, and cloud uploads retry when the internet returns.
Restore in minutes: Pick any backup from any location. Ingot saves a safety copy of today's data first, and a new PC can restore from its first screen.

The Backup screen: data backed up to three places, this PC, Amazon S3 and Google Drive, all up to date, with the schedule and the list of backups

For the whole team

Everyone signs in. Everyone sees their part.

Roles

Four roles, ready to use.

Give each person their own login. Ingot hides what a role can't use and refuses what it can't change.

AccountantAccounts, expenses and reports. Can see sales, stock and the registers.
SalesQuotations, sales orders and their deliveries. Can see stock and the outward register.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is Ingot?

Ingot is a Windows app from Unravelers Technologies for small and mid-sized manufacturers. It covers raw materials and purchasing, production with bills of materials, stock and the inward and outward registers, quotations, sales orders, deliveries, invoices and payments, expenses and accounts, with daily and monthly reports and automatic backups.

Does it need the internet?

No. Ingot runs on your PC, or across your office network, and keeps its data in one file on the main PC. The internet is only used if you choose to send backups to Google Drive or cloud storage, and those uploads simply wait until a connection is back.

Can several people use it?

Yes, each with their own login and role: Admin, Accountant, Sales or Store keeper. Each role sees and changes only what it should, and every change is recorded with the person's name. They can share one PC or work on several.

Does it work on more than one PC?

Yes, on the same office network. One PC keeps the data and the backups; the others install Ingot, pair with it using a 6-digit code, and work on the same data at the same time. The main PC needs to be on while the others work, and every PC runs the same version of Ingot. Working from another site over the internet isn't supported yet.

What kind of manufacturer is it for?

Any business that buys materials, makes products from them and sells them: metal fabrication, furniture, food, plastics, printing, building materials and similar. Items can be counted in pieces, kilos, litres, metres or any unit you add.

How does it work out the cost of a product?

Each material carries a weighted average cost from what you paid for it. When you record a production run, the materials used leave at that cost, and the finished goods come in at the materials' cost plus the labour and overheads you enter.

Do I need to know accounting?

No. Every document posts its own balanced journal, so the books stay right while you work in invoices, payments and expenses. Your accountant still gets a trial balance, ledgers, statements and ageing.

Can I try it before entering my own data?

Yes. On the first screen, choose to explore Ingot with a sample company: a small metal workshop with six weeks of realistic work and a login for every role. When you're ready, one click clears it and you set up your own business.

Does it print invoices in Arabic?

Yes. Switch on documents in English and Arabic in Settings, add your company's Arabic name and address, and give customers and items their Arabic names. Quotations, orders, invoices, credit notes and delivery notes then print in both languages.

Does it work out my VAT return?

It adds up the tax on your sales, less credit notes, and on your purchases and expenses for any period, and checks the totals against the accounts. For a UAE company it fills in the VAT201 boxes. Imports, reverse charge and the split by emirate aren't tracked, and your accountant should check it before you file.

What if goods come back or a price was wrong?

Issue a credit note against the invoice: it takes back the lines you choose, reduces what the customer owes or refunds them, and puts returned goods back into stock. Goods you send back to a supplier are recorded from the purchase order, and a supplier's own credit note takes money off what you owe them.

Which currencies and taxes does it support?

You set the currency, its symbol and decimals, the name of the tax (VAT, GST or sales tax), its rates, and whether prices include tax. Document numbers and the start of the financial year are yours to set too.

How safe are the backups?

Backups run on a schedule and when Ingot closes, are encrypted with your backup password, are checked when written, and are kept in as many places as you choose: the PC, USB drives, Google Drive or S3-compatible storage. Older ones are tidied automatically, keeping the last 24 hours, 14 days, 8 weeks and 12 months.

Can I bring in my existing data?

Yes. Fill in the Excel template with your items and opening stock, what customers owe, what you owe suppliers and your cash and bank balances. Ingot checks every row and lists anything to fix before anything is saved. We can help with the first import.

Does it run on a Mac?

Not yet. Ingot is built for Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit.

Why does Windows show a warning the first time?

Windows double-checks apps that aren't yet widely downloaded. It only happens on the first launch; choose More info, then Run anyway.

How is it priced?

Per business, depending on the number of users and the help you need to get started, such as importing your data and training your team. Email us and we'll talk it through.

For manufacturers and workshops
