You do not have to change your systems
The most common objection in production software meetings is this: "We are used to our accounting program and we do not want to rebuild everything." It is a fair objection. TIQERP does not replace your accounting software.
Invoicing, ledgers, cash and statutory books stay in whichever program they are in today. TIQERP does something different: quoting, planning, shop floor capture, quality, calibration, tooling and actual cost. It comes in as the production, quality and costing layer.
When a shipment is completed, only the invoice number is marked in TIQERP. A "shipped but not invoiced" list sits in its own tab and is enough for the month-end check against accounting.
What exists today and what does not
Available today: Excel and CSV import and export, a REST API, RFID and NFC cards for operator login and tool issue, barcode and QR for stock moves and lot tracking, machine connectivity with OEE, and branded PDF documents including AS9102 forms.
Planned: a direct connector to accounting software, and automatic capture from measuring devices. Today the invoice number is marked by hand and measured values are entered at the terminal with the gauge recorded.
Why not start with the accounting connector?
Technically it is not difficult; what is difficult is that every company has a different chart of accounts, customer coding and invoicing flow. A badly built integration costs more than no integration: inconsistent records appear in two systems and cleaning them up takes months. So the order is deliberate — first let production produce the right data, then transfer it.
If you have your own software
Through the REST API you can read orders, stock, work order progress and quality records, and write orders and stock movements. Authorisation is role based, so an API user also reaches only the defined modules. Because the installation is on your own server, API traffic never leaves the factory network.
