Why plug-and-play manufacturing ERP
Live in a day
Import your item master, claim your instance, invite your team. The setup wizard handles the rest — no implementation project.
One connected system
Every module shares the same data. A receipt updates inventory, AP, and job cost at once — nothing to sync.
Audit-ready records
AS9100-shaped quality, government property, configuration management, and audit trails come standard, not as add-ons.
Built for manufacturers
Manufacturing ERP for shops that can't afford chaos
If your floor still runs on spreadsheets, shared drives, and three systems that never agree, Protessera is the single system of record that replaces the tangle.
Aerospace & defense
AS9100-shaped quality, government property, configuration control, and full traceability from lot to serial.
Electronics & assemblies
Multi-level BOMs, work instructions, test procedures, ESD/FOD programs, and serial-tracked builds.
Precision job shops
Work orders, travelers, inventory, purchasing, and job cost without enterprise bloat or six-month implementations.
High-mix manufacturers
Quotes to cash, engineering change, MRB, and accounting in one system — not a stack of tools that never talk.
How it works
From signup to shipping without a project plan
- 01
Claim your instance
Pick a plan and land in your own isolated company. No card required to start. No shared multi-tenant soup.
- 02
Import & invite
Load your item master, set pay periods, and invite the team. The setup wizard walks the rest.
- 03
Run the work
Quotes, POs, work orders, quality, and payroll post into the same ledger. Enter data once.
- 04
Close the books
Ship raises AR. Receive raises AP. Month-end locks the period. Your shop floor finally feeds finance.
Modules
Everything a shop needs, in one manufacturing ERP
Protessera replaces the tangle of spreadsheets, point tools, and disconnected apps most manufacturers run on — shop floor execution, quality, supply chain, configuration management, and the books.
Quality that closes the loop
NCRs and MRB dispositions that actually do things — return shipments, replacement PRs, rework orders — plus the full QMS suite: calibration, tool control, ESD, FOD, HAZMAT, audits, counterfeit.
Engineering & configuration management
Requirements → BOM → work instructions → test procedures, all revision-controlled through one ECR/ECO change process. Nothing on the floor references an uncontrolled copy.
Supply chain, connected
Purchase requests route to the charge owner, buyers package them into POs, receiving lands stock in inventory, and Kanban raises replenishment before you run out.
Timecards your people will fill out
Auto-created per pay period, grid entry by charge code, OT rules, PTO auto-fill, routed approvals — straight into payroll and job cost from one entry.
Real accounting, not a bolt-on
GL on your basis and fiscal calendar, AR/AP, month-end close that locks the period, bank feeds via Plaid, and payroll — all posting automatically from the work.
Government property & audit records
GFP/CAP tracking, DD-1149 gates at receiving, UID, DFARS-style custody records, and AS9100-shaped quality records.
Reports for everything
P&L, balance sheet, agings, WIP, inventory valuation, OTD, NCR log, timecards — on screen or CSV, zero setup.
Guided, not gatekept
Interactive tours walk every process — so new hires get productive without a consultant, and you never wonder where a feature lives.

FAQ
Manufacturing ERP questions, answered
Straight answers before you start a trial or demo.
What is Protessera?
Protessera is cloud manufacturing ERP software for shops that build real hardware. It connects sales, engineering, purchasing, production, quality, HR, and accounting so one transaction flows through the whole company.
Who is manufacturing ERP software for?
Small and mid-size manufacturers — especially aerospace, defense, electronics, precision assembly, and high-mix job shops — that have outgrown spreadsheets and disconnected point tools but don't want a multi-year enterprise rollout.
How long is the free trial?
You get full product access for 60 days. No credit card is required to start. Nothing is billed until you choose to subscribe. When you subscribe, the first 12 months bill at the first-year price, then standard prices apply. You have 15 days after the first charge to request a full refund under our refund policy.
Do I need consultants or an implementation project?
No. Protessera is designed as plug-and-play manufacturing ERP: import your data, run the setup wizard, and start working. Interactive in-app tours replace the usual army of consultants.
Is Protessera suitable for AS9100 and government contract work?
For the workflow and the records, yes — quality is AS9100-shaped (NCR, MRB, CAPA, calibration, audits), configuration management is revision-controlled, and government property (GFP/CAP), UID, and DFARS-style accountability are first-class rather than bolted on. What the hosted service is not is an enclave for controlled data: see the next question before you put CUI or export-controlled technical data anywhere near it.
Can I store CUI, ITAR, or export-controlled technical data in Protessera?
Not in the standard hosted service, and we would rather tell you plainly than let you find out during an assessment. DFARS 252.204-7012 requires a cloud provider handling CUI to meet FedRAMP Moderate equivalency; our hosted stack runs on commercial infrastructure that does not. ITAR technical data is stricter still — the encrypted-data carve-out in 22 CFR 120.54 requires genuine end-to-end encryption, which no ERP that queries, reports on, or searches your data can offer. If you handle CUI or ITAR, the answer is a self-hosted deployment inside your own accredited boundary, where you own the assessment and we supply the software and a shared-responsibility matrix. Talk to us and we will scope it honestly.
What's included in every plan?
Every paid plan is the full product. Tiers differ by seat count, not by locking features behind higher SKUs. Unlimited data, every module, free guided onboarding, and your data stays yours.
Can I try the product before I buy?
Yes — take the live demo (a sandboxed test drive with sample data) or start a 60-day free trial on your own instance. No credit card required.
How is pricing structured?
Shop is free for up to 5 users. For 6–10 users, paid Shop's first year is $10/month for the first user plus $2/month for each additional user (a 10-user shop pays $28/month). Starter is $250 for the first year, Growth $500, and Business $1,000. After the first 12 months, standard prices apply: paid Shop $30/user/month, Starter $3,600/year, Growth $8,400/year, Business $18,000/year. Enterprise stays quoted. Every paid plan is the full product — no per-module nickel-and-diming.
