Numa for Manufacturing

From RFQ to job margin — the admin runs itself.

Numa is the AI operating system for manufacturers and engineering shops of 20–200 staff. It connects the tools you already run — Microsoft 365, Xero, MYOB, your ERP — then automates the admin that buries your team: quoting, scheduling, job costing, compliance and reporting.

From food and beverage to glass, stone, steel and lighting — Numa adapts to how your shop actually works.
What Numa does inside a manufacturing business

Every stage of the job, without the paperwork.

Stage 1
Win the work
Quote straight from the drawing
Turn an RFQ, drawing or spec into a costed draft quote in minutes — materials, labour and margin included.
Faster RFQ turnaround
Respond to more enquiries without adding estimators, and never let a quote go cold.
Stage 2
Plan & source
Bill of materials, generated
Draft BOMs and cut lists from the job spec, ready to check rather than build from scratch.
Procurement & supplier chasing
Draft purchase orders, compare supplier pricing and follow up on late deliveries automatically.
Stage 3
Make & track
Jobs on schedule
Keep work-in-progress visible across the shop floor and flag jobs slipping before they miss the date.
Quality & compliance records
Prepare inspection, ISO and H&S documentation with cited references — ready when the auditor is.
Stage 4
Know your numbers
Job costing as you go
Live material and labour spend against quote — see the real margin while the job is still on the floor.
On-time-delivery & margin trends
Track OTD, rework and margin across jobs to see where the business actually makes money.

It's just incredible. I've been impressed with what we've been able to do. There's so much you can do that you're just not aware of doing — the only limitation is my own creative thinking in terms of what it can do sometimes.
