The challenge

Disconnected operations, missed opportunities.

Industrial businesses run on complexity: multiple suppliers, active sales pipelines, busy shop floors and tight financial controls. When those functions sit in silos, the cost is real.

01

Fragmented data

Procurement, sales, production and finance rarely speak the same language.

02

Manual bottlenecks

Error-prone processes slow teams down and inflate operational costs.

03

Missed revenue

Poor forecasting and disconnected project tracking leave money on the table.

04

Zero real-time visibility

Decisions lag behind reality, costing agility and competitive advantage.

Quote to cash, in one system

From the first RFQ to getting paid.

PanelOps runs the entire panel-building lifecycle, including the part every generic ERP leaves to spreadsheets.

Integrated modules

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Eight tightly integrated modules that share one data model, from first quote to final invoice, so nothing falls through the cracks between departments.

CRM

Lead-to-order pipeline, account management, activity tracking and customer-project linking.

CPQ

Configure-price-quote engine with rules-based configurator, margin analysis and approval workflows.

Supplier Mgmt

Vendor scorecards, PO management, lead-time tracking and multi-source procurement optimization.

BOM Mgmt

Multi-level BOMs with revision control, where-used analysis, ECO tracking and cost roll-ups.

Inventory

Multi-warehouse, lot and serial tracking, min-max replenishment and live stock levels.

Scheduling

Visual Gantt scheduling, capacity planning, resource allocation and constraint-based optimization.

WIP Tracking

Real-time work-in-progress visibility, labour tracking, routing operations and shop-floor data capture.

Financials

GL, AP and AR, project costing, job profitability, cash-flow forecasting and multi-currency support.

On the shop floor

The Same Record, Down on the Floor.

The RFQ became a quote, the quote became a job, and the job is now in Bay 2. PanelOps carries that one record onto the floor: clock the operation, log the labour, check a part against live stock, and the office sees it without anyone re-keying a thing.

WIP Tracking

  • Real-time work-in-progress visibility: every job, every operation, as it moves across the floor
  • Labour tracking & routing operations: clock on and off against the job, not a paper traveller
  • Shop-floor data capture: what is logged at the bench is what finance and scheduling see

Inventory

  • Multi-warehouse, lot and serial tracking: know which lot went into which panel
  • Live stock levels: check a part before you commit the job, not after
  • Min-max replenishment: a breaker drops below min and the PO is raised

Scheduling

  • Visual Gantt scheduling: the week’s jobs and bays in one view
  • Capacity planning & resource allocation: see the bottleneck before it costs the ship date
  • Constraint-based optimization: the plan reshuffles when reality does

Built for your world

Not another generic ERP.

Make to order is not a mode we bolted on. It is the only way PanelOps has ever been built to work.

OEMs

You ship a different machine every time. Engineering owns the design, and each order is a variation on the last one.

See how it fits

System integrators

You answer for hardware you did not build. The margin lives in the gaps between other people’s dates.

See how it fits

Panel builders

You build to a drawing that keeps changing. The wiring and the parts list are the job, not paperwork about the job.

PanelOps in action

What integrated intelligence looks like in practice.

Here is what changed for one firm that made the switch.

Industrial automationInstrumentationProcess controlE&I, PLC, SCADA and DCS

“Before PanelOps, managing project information across different tools and teams was becoming increasingly challenging. Having everything in one place has made it easier for our teams to collaborate, track project progress, and get the visibility we need to deliver projects more efficiently as we continue to grow.”

DEDirector of Engineering and Operations · industrial automation firm

100+ years of combined experience. 150+ projects. One spreadsheet too many.

An automation, instrumentation and process control firm ran execution, procurement, inventory and costing on paper and disconnected systems. PanelOps replaced all of them.

Questions

What buyers ask before they switch.

The questions that come up most often about PanelOps, answered from what the platform does today.

What is PanelOps?
PanelOps is ITHENA's industrial ERP for make to order manufacturers. It runs the whole value chain in one system: the inbound RFQ, the quote and its approvals, the sales order, the project, the bill of materials, the build on the floor, then the invoice and the payment. Quote to cash and BOM to shipment sit on the same record.
Who is PanelOps built for?
OEMs who ship a different machine every time, where engineering owns the design and each order is a variation on the last one. System integrators who answer for hardware they did not build, where the margin lives in the gaps between other people's dates. And panel builders who build to a drawing that keeps changing, where the wiring and the parts list are the job rather than paperwork about the job.
How is PanelOps different from a generic ERP?
Make to order is not a mode bolted onto PanelOps. It is the only way the system has ever been built to work, so it covers the part every generic ERP leaves to spreadsheets: the configure price quote step, multi level BOMs with revision control, and project costing billed against actuals. It is also deliberately nimble. You deploy the modules you need and expand when you are ready, instead of paying for shelf ware that is never switched on.
Which modules does PanelOps include?
Eight, sharing one data model. CRM for the lead to order pipeline. CPQ with a rules based configurator, margin analysis and approval workflows. Supplier management with vendor scorecards, purchase order management and lead time tracking. BOM management with multi level BOMs, revision control, where used analysis and cost roll ups. Inventory with multi warehouse, lot and serial tracking and min max replenishment. Scheduling with visual Gantt planning, capacity planning and constraint based optimization. WIP tracking with labour and routing capture on the floor. Financials covering the general ledger, payables, receivables, project costing, job profitability and cash flow forecasting.
How long does a PanelOps implementation take?
Two to four weeks, against the six to eighteen months a legacy ERP implementation typically runs. The average go live across PanelOps deployments is four weeks.
How is PanelOps priced?
Transparent pricing per user, with no hidden infrastructure costs and no surprise platform fees. Licensing, infrastructure and consulting are not separate line items, and you pay only for what you actually use rather than for modules that sit unopened.
Can we customise PanelOps and connect it to the systems we already run?
Yes. PanelOps is open by design: REST APIs, webhooks and a low code extension framework. Your team can build custom screens, integrations and automations directly, instead of waiting on a vendor change request.
Is PanelOps secure enough for our customers' audits?
PanelOps is SOC 2 Type II compliant and audit ready. Data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and the platform supports role based access, single sign on, audit trails and data residency options.
Does PanelOps reach the shop floor, or is it an office system?
Both, on one record. The RFQ became a quote, the quote became a job, and the job is now in the bay. Operators clock on and off against the job rather than a paper traveller, routing operations and labour post in real time, and a part can be checked against live stock before the job is committed. What is logged at the bench is what finance and scheduling see.
What results has a PanelOps customer reported?
An automation, instrumentation and process control firm that had been running execution, procurement, inventory and costing on paper and disconnected systems reported four numbers one year after go live: a 40 percent boost in operational visibility, 30 percent faster BOM and parts management, a 25 percent increase in project scalability and a 35 percent improvement in parts traceability.
