Genius Apps

Every manufacturer has processes that make their business unique. While Genius ERP supports a wide range of manufacturing workflows, some businesses require specialised tools, simplified interfaces, or custom processes that go beyond standard ERP functionality.

Genius Apps are custom-built applications developed by our in-house team and fully integrated with Genius ERP. Whether you need a specialised estimating tool, a simplified order entry screen, or a custom shop floor interface, Genius Apps can be designed around the way your business works.

Custom Estimation

Make quoting and estimating easier

Every manufacturer approaches estimating and quoting differently. Genius Apps can be designed around your existing quoting process, helping automate calculations, organise information, and present everything in a way that makes sense for your business. Whether your estimates involve specialised pricing, custom products, or unique workflows, a dedicated app can be designed around the way your team creates estimates.

Order Management

One place for everything you need

Some manufacturers rely on information spread across multiple screens, forms, or spreadsheets when creating customer orders. Genius Apps can bring key information together in a single interface designed around your process, helping users manage order details, product information, BOMs, and custom fields from one place.

Shop Floor Tools

Build tools for specific roles

Different employees often need different information. Genius Apps can provide focused interfaces for shop floor employees, supervisors, and other users who only need access to specific tasks or transactions. From scanning work orders and recording labour to approvals and task assignments, apps can be built around the way people actually work.

Built for the people using it every day

Whether you work in engineering, purchasing, production or management, Genius ERP gives you the tools and information you need to get the job done right.

Estimators

Support complex quoting processes

Many manufacturers develop estimating processes that reflect years of experience and industry knowledge. A custom app can support those processes without forcing estimators to adapt to generic workflows. Material calculations, labour estimates, pricing logic, and other requirements can be incorporated into a dedicated tool designed around the way your business creates quotes.

Frequently asked questions

What are Genius Apps?

Genius Apps are custom-built applications developed by the Genius ERP team to support unique manufacturing processes, workflows, and business requirements. Fully integrated with Genius ERP, they can be designed for a wide range of tasks, including estimating, order entry, shop floor data collection, approvals, reporting, and other specialised processes. Each app is built around the way your business operates, helping you manage activities that may not fit standard ERP workflows.

Why should manufacturers use custom apps instead of standard ERP modules?

Manufacturing businesses often have processes that are unique to their products, customers, or operations. While standard ERP modules support common manufacturing workflows, some companies require specialised tools, simplified interfaces, or custom processes. Custom ERP apps allow manufacturers to address these requirements while keeping information connected to their ERP system, reducing the need for spreadsheets, manual workarounds, or disconnected software.

What types of processes can be supported with Genius Apps?

Genius Apps can support a wide variety of manufacturing processes, including estimating and quoting, order management, production tracking, shop floor transactions, approvals, labour reporting, data collection, and other specialised workflows. Because each application is designed around your requirements, Genius Apps can be adapted to support the unique processes that help your business operate effectively.

How do I know if I need a custom ERP app?

A custom ERP app may be worth considering when employees rely on spreadsheets, manual workarounds, multiple screens, or separate systems to complete routine tasks. If a process is difficult to manage using standard software, a custom application can provide a simpler interface, automate specific activities, or support a workflow that is unique to your business. Genius Apps are designed to solve these types of operational challenges while remaining connected to Genius ERP.

Are Genius Apps fully integrated with Genius ERP?

Yes. Genius Apps are developed by the Genius ERP team and are designed to work directly with your ERP system. Information entered into a Genius App can be shared with Genius ERP in real time, helping maintain data accuracy and ensuring employees are working with the same information across the business. This allows manufacturers to add specialised functionality without creating disconnected systems or duplicate data.
