MRP software built for UK manufacturing SMEs
Get more output from your existing machines and team, without the heavy investment
Most subcon shops have more capacity than they realise, it’s just buried under manual admin, downtime, and long job set-up times.
Tricorn MRP software cuts the time you waste on spreadsheets, paperwork, and quote processing. The result? Your team spends more hours making parts and less time on admin. That’s extra output from the machines and people you’ve already got, no capital investment required.
Trusted by 400+ UK manufacturers. Available on-premise or cloud. Up and running in weeks, not months.
BOOK A DEMOFrom quote to invoice, with less admin at every step
Every hour your team spends on paperwork is an hour they’re not making parts. Tricorn handles the admin so your skilled people can do what you’re actually paying them for.
Here’s how it works across your production process:
Build accurate quotes in minutes using templates from previous jobs. Include materials, operations, bought-in parts, and subcon costs. When you win the work, convert the quote straight to a works order, no re-keying, no errors.
Generate works orders directly from quotes or previous jobs. All the detail your shop floor needs, operations, times, materials, tooling, plus job cards and travellers produced automatically. Your office staff spend minutes on setup instead of hours.
Create purchase orders straight from works orders or stock requirements. Send RFQs to suppliers, track what’s on order, and know exactly what’s due in. No more chasing suppliers because someone forgot to order material.
Book materials in against purchase orders. Track stock levels, locations, and batch numbers. When something’s running low, you’ll know before it stops a job, not after.
Generate delivery notes and certificates of conformity automatically. Full traceability of every job, materials, processes, inspection records, ready for your customer or their auditor.
Create invoices from completed deliveries in a few clicks. No hunting through paperwork to work out what’s been shipped. Get paid faster because your invoicing isn’t three weeks behind your deliveries.
