Is Your Factory Still Running on Spreadsheets and Guesswork?
When production lives on clipboards and in someone’s head, problems show up after the batch is done.
Defects found late
Quality problems surface after the batch is finished, when rework costs the most.
Stock surprises
You run short of a material mid-job, or tie up cash in stock you didn’t need.
Paper on the floor
Job cards, quality sheets and stock counts on paper, typed up later, if at all.
Late deliveries
Nobody sees an order running late until the customer phones to ask where it is.

Call 010 001 7606 or email sales@bizai.co.za.
Can BizAI integrate with our existing ERP or accounting system?
BizAI syncs invoices with Sage (Sage Accounting and Sage 200 Evolution), Xero, Zoho Books and QuickBooks. It does not connect to ERP systems. You can use BizAI for production, quality, stock, purchasing and dispatch, plus the CRM, quotes and invoices you sell with, and keep your accounting package as the ledger.
Do we need special equipment or hardware to use BizAI?
No. BizAI runs in a web browser on a computer, tablet or phone. You can generate and print barcode labels for your items, and the BizAI mobile app has a barcode scanner that uses the phone camera to look up items, receive goods and check dispatches. BizAI does not support RFID.
How does batch traceability work for compliance?
BizAI records lot numbers when you receive goods against a purchase order, and every quality inspection is logged against its work order with the inspection type, quantities, defect category and remediation. It does not yet trace a lot from raw material all the way through to the finished goods it went into, and it does not produce SABS or ISO compliance reports.
Can we track stock across more than one warehouse?
Yes. You can set up several warehouses, choose the warehouse when you receive goods, and move stock between them with stock transfers. Each item has a reorder point, and the manufacturing dashboard shows how many items are below it.
Does BizAI do demand forecasting?
No. BizAI does material requirements planning: for each production order it lists the materials the bill of materials needs, how much you have available and the shortage, so you know what to order before the job starts. It does not forecast future demand.
What happens if our internet goes down during production?
BizAI is online software, so you need a connection to capture production, quality and stock data. There is no offline mode. A phone or tablet on mobile data can keep you working through a line outage, in the browser or the BizAI app.
How long does it take to get BizAI up and running?
You can sign up and start straight away. How long full setup takes depends on how many items, bills of materials and processes you need to load. You can set it up yourself, or book paid setup help if you would rather we did it.
How much does BizAI cost for a manufacturing business?
Plans start at R999/month excl. VAT for 3 users, and plans differ only by how many users you need. The Manufacturing module is switched on per account, so ask us about it when you start. You can try BizAI free for 14 days with no credit card.
