Switch from MRP Easy
Procurement bought it. The rest of the shop inherited it.
MRP Easy is a purchasing tool. It holds inventory, has a light concept of BOMs and jobs, and does what a procurement team needs. Everything downstream of the PO is where it thins out.
Why manufacturers move on from MRP Easy
Switching costs less than another year of working around the fit. We bring your parts, BOMs, and routings across with AI-assisted migration, and you're running in weeks.
A purchasing tool doing a production job
It was chosen to solve procurement's problem, and it does. Production, scheduling, and the shop floor were never really the point.
Built for the whole shop
Purchasing, production, quality, and shipping in one system, so the PO and the job that needs it aren't two different worlds.
No work scheduling
Jobs exist as a concept, but there's no real way to sequence them against machines, people, and promised dates.
Jobs, routing, and scheduling
Prioritize jobs, assign operations to machines, and see what's running now. Changes ripple through the schedule instead of being retyped.
Demand you aggregate yourself
The same part needed across three jobs and a stocking order is three separate decisions, usually reconciled in a spreadsheet.
Demand rolls up on its own
Requirements aggregate across sales orders, jobs, and stock into one clear picture of what to make and buy — and when.
You are the integration
Every quote, PO, and schedule change routes through the same two or three people, because the system doesn't carry the work.
AI that does the work, not just the talking
Every action a user can take, our AI can take — build a quote, raise a PO, restructure a BOM, adjust a schedule.
My experience with StartProto has been fantastic. It feels like it was designed from the manufacturing floor up and then expanded into ERP capabilities, which is different from anything else out there. Their training support has also been great—they’re available off-hours, which works well with my busy schedule. That level of support makes StartProto stand out.
