HOW TRAKTO HELPS IN
Plastic Manufacturing
Plastic manufacturers deal with changing resin prices, multiple machines, production schedules, scrap, rejections, and demanding delivery timelines. Trakto brings production, inventory, costing, purchasing, and order management into one system—giving plastic factories a clear view of what is being produced, what it costs, and what needs attention.

WHAT MAKES TRAKTO DIFFERENT
Generic ERP software can manage basic factory transactions. Plastic manufacturers need much more control over materials, machines, production quantities, scrap, costing, and delivery commitments.
GENERIC ERP
TRAKTO
Basic BOM for each finished product
Manage materials, variants, and production requirements with greater flexibility
Reorder when stock reaches a fixed quantity
Plan purchases around actual consumption and upcoming requirements
Standard costing based on estimates
Track material, machine, labour, and manufacturing overheads
Production entered later by office staff
Capture production directly from the shop floor
Everything below is one of those differences, in detail.

True Profit
Sales Order
Create customer orders with products, quantities, prices, delivery requirements, and other relevant details.
Demand captured
Purchase Order
Convert material requirements into purchase orders for plastic raw materials, resin, additives, masterbatch, and other production inputs.
Materials on the way
Goods In
Record incoming materials and update inventory as soon as goods are received. Batch, lot, cost, and availability remain visible.
Stock available
Work Orders
Plan production against confirmed orders. Assign materials, machines, quantities, and production requirements while keeping the shop floor aligned with demand.
Production planned
Production Entry
Record actual production, scrap, rejection, semi-finished goods, and finished goods as production progresses.
Finished goods ready
Dispatch
Dispatch the required batch against the customer order while keeping inventory and order status updated.
Orders fulfilled
Margin & Insights
Compare actual material, labour, machine, and overhead costs against the order value to understand the real margin earned.

COSTING INTELLIGENCE
Accurate Costing with Overheads
Trakto takes your recorded monthly expenses and absorbs them onto parts on a real basis so what you see is a full cost per piece, not material plus a guess.
Power, labour, wood, mould amortisation and rent recorded monthly, once
Absorbed onto parts by actual basis, not a flat percentage across everything
The number you quote from is the full cost, material and conversion together
Cost auto calculates with live rates, every formula
Trakto rebuilds cost per piece every time an input changes: piece weight, the recipe at today's prices, and this month's recorded overheads. Open a part and you see what it costs you today, not what it cost the day you developed it.
Rates update from your own purchase entries — no separate rate master
Formula change re-costs every part using that compound, instantly
Cost built from the actual recipe and piece weight, not a rounded per-kg rate
See what a part cost you last month against what it costs today
STOP MATERIAL LEAKAGES
Stop Material Loss and Leakages
A 100 kg batch, a known piece weight and a known count should give you raw material quantity that matches. Trakto compares actuals against estimated on every single work order to give you reports on excess consumption and loss.
Estimated vs actual consumption on every batch
Rejections logged by reason, at the stage they happened
Re-learns as your product mix changes — nobody maintains reorder levels
Requirements pulled from confirmed sales orders, not last month's average
RUNWAY DAYS
Set your reorder alert in days. Not kilograms.
Rubber is continuous consumption. The mixer runs all day and every batch pulls the same ten materials by weight, so stock drains steadily instead of in visible chunks.
Trakto learns how much you actually consume on average and turns that stock into days. You set the alert in days left, and it keeps itself correct as your mix changes.
Reorder alerts on days left, not a fixed minimum quantity
Runway calculated from your real consumption, not a level someone typed in once
Re-learns as your product mix changes — nobody maintains reorder levels
Requirements pulled from confirmed sales orders, not last month's average
SMART RESCHEDULING
Drag. Drop. Reschedule Orders.
Give a date you can keep.
Automatically Estimates when the order will be ready based on actual production pace historically and as per work order. When you reorder, everything updates automatically. Logging actual production, holidays will automatically push the estimates.
Schedule Orders Per Machine
Schedule Per Machine Moulds
Always be on track with Customer
Sales Intelligence
Know where your margin comes from.
Every sales order carries its origin, its customer, its margin, and its dispatch cost — so you see where money comes from and where it leaks.
Year-end profit tells you the factory worked. It doesn't tell you that your second-largest customer - hardest negotiator, smallest lots, wants his own packing — is running at 4% while a quiet account elsewhere runs at 26%. Averages hide the exact thing you'd act on.
Profit % per customer, per region, per part
Variance against the margin you set at quotation
Per-dispatch profit — one bad lot can't hide inside a good month
Know which price revision to ask for first
