Spreadsheets leave your contract manufacturing data disconnected

Without real-time visibility and connectivity, it’s impossible to manage partners, materials, and timelines. Digit clears that fog and confusion by centralizing your inventory, procurement, and fulfillment in one system.

What is Contract Manufacturing Software?

Contract manufacturing software is a type of ERP that gives you the necessary functions to manage outsourced production more efficiently with real-time visibility and control over production handled by third-party partners. Contract manufacturing software like Digit helps you and your teams to coordinate materials, monitor production progress, track costs, and manage delivery timelines so you can better communicate with external manufacturers to ensure products are produced to specification, on schedule, and within budget.

frequently asked questions
We built Digit to make complex operations simple—and that includes our answers. Here’s everything you should know before getting started.
How does contract manufacturing software work?
Chevron down icon

Contract manufacturing software works similarly to almost any other type of manufacturing software (such as MES, MRP, or ERP). 

But, the biggest difference with contract manufacturing software is that this enables you to expand your manufacturing capabilities by outsourcing production to a third-party manufacturer, meaning you have complete, real-time control over: 

  • Production
  • Inventory
  • Quality
  • Compliance in real-time 

Some software, like Digit, allows you to offer your manufacturing services to clients and help them with their production. You’ll be able to achieve this with the B2B portal, which allows your clients to check in on production status with their own unique link. 

What are the key features of contract manufacturing software?
Chevron down icon

If you’re looking to get yourself set up with a contract manufacturing software, be sure to look for the following key features before you get started: 

  • B2B Client Portals: Some systems give you and your partners personalized links so both partners have visibility into orders, shipments, and account details for monitoring progress. 
  • Real-time Production Tracking: It’s essential to know what’s going on, so at the very least you will need contract manufacturing software to get status updates on production whenever you need it. 

Integrations: In the age of apps and cloud-based connectivity, it’s more than likely that you’re using several business-critical tools, so you should find software that is capable of integrating with your entire tech stack.

What's the difference between contract manufacturing software and regular manufacturing ERP?
Chevron down icon

Contract manufacturing software has two uses: 

  • For businesses that are outsourcing their production 
  • For businesses that provide manufacturing services to others 

The main purpose of contract manufacturing software is to give both parties the means for performing project costing, managing client-specific inventory (important if you’re managing inventory for different clients).

ERP, on the other hand, is built to support the internal functions and departments of a business. So, if you’re using an ERP, it can be used not just to manage your production. It can manage essentially any business operation or responsibility, from finance to HR.
