ERP, Inventory & Automation Built for Burnaby Manufacturers
Global Maple System helps Burnaby factories and production facilities replace tangled spreadsheets and disconnected systems with custom ERP and automation software — so your floor runs tighter and your margins grow.
Burnaby's industrial corridor — from the Big Bend district along the Fraser River to the Lougheed and Willingdon business parks — is home to hundreds of manufacturers juggling complex supply chains, tight production schedules, and rising labour costs. Off-the-shelf software rarely fits the way your shop floor actually works, and generic ERP platforms charge enterprise prices for features you'll never touch.
Global Maple System is an AI-first development studio serving Metro Vancouver businesses. We build custom ERP systems, real-time inventory platforms, and production automation tools sized precisely for your operation — whether you run a 12-person metal fabrication shop in South Burnaby or a 200-person food processing facility near Boundary Road. No bloated licences. No forced workarounds. Just software that matches your process.
Sound familiar?
What Manufacturers & Factories in Burnaby tell us
- ✕Inventory counts done in spreadsheets that are already wrong by the time they're shared — leading to emergency rush orders and costly production stops
- ✕No real-time view of what's happening on the floor, so supervisors are constantly chasing updates instead of solving problems
- ✕Disconnected quoting, purchasing, and invoicing systems that force staff to re-key the same data three times and still produce errors
- ✕Compliance paperwork for WorkSafeBC, environmental reporting, and customer quality audits piling up because nothing is tracked in one place
Why Burnaby Manufacturers & Factories choose us
Real-Time Inventory Visibility
Know exactly what raw materials, WIP, and finished goods you have on hand at any moment — across every rack, bin, and storage area — without walking the floor or waiting for end-of-day counts.
Faster Order Fulfillment
Automated pick lists, production triggers, and shipping alerts cut the time from customer PO to goods out the dock, helping you compete on lead time without adding headcount.
Labour Cost Control
Automate repetitive data entry, approval workflows, and routine reporting so your skilled tradespeople and supervisors spend time on work that actually requires them — not on paperwork.
Full Production Traceability
Track every batch, lot, and component through your production line. When a WorkSafeBC inspector or a major customer requests documentation, you pull it in seconds rather than spending days reconstructing records.
Connected Finance & Operations
Purchase orders, production costs, and sales invoices flow into a single source of truth, giving your accountant and your plant manager the same live numbers — and eliminating the month-end reconciliation scramble.
Made for Manufacturers & Factories
Custom ERP Development
We design and build ERP systems around your specific production workflow — job costing, bills of materials, work orders, and supplier management — rather than forcing your team to conform to someone else's logic.
Inventory & Warehouse Management Systems
Barcode and QR scanning, real-time stock levels, automated reorder points, and multi-location tracking built for the physical layout of your Burnaby facility.
Production Scheduling & Capacity Planning
Visual scheduling boards and automated capacity checks that help your planners load the floor correctly, avoid bottlenecks, and give sales realistic lead times before they promise them to customers.
Workflow & Approval Automation
Replace email chains and paper sign-off sheets with digital workflows — purchase approvals, quality hold triggers, shift handover checklists — that enforce your process and create an automatic audit trail.
Reporting Dashboards & Business Intelligence
Live dashboards that surface OEE, scrap rates, on-time delivery, and margin per job — so plant managers and owners can make decisions on current data instead of last month's report.

Questions, answered
We almost always integrate with what you have first. We can connect to QuickBooks Online or Desktop, pull your existing spreadsheet data in as a starting point, and build around your current tools — replacing them piece by piece as your team gains confidence, rather than flipping a switch overnight.
A focused inventory or workflow module typically takes eight to fourteen weeks from kickoff to go-live. A full ERP build — including production, purchasing, and finance integration — usually runs four to seven months depending on complexity. We work in short sprints so you see working software early, not just at the end.
That concern shapes every design decision we make. We prototype screens with your actual supervisors and line leads before we build anything, and we deliver hands-on training in plain language. Every system we hand over includes documentation written for operators, not developers.
Yes. We have experience building compliance and safety modules for BC manufacturers and understand the documentation expectations around WorkSafeBC, Metro Vancouver environmental permits, and food-safe traceability requirements for facilities in the Lower Mainland. We scope those in from the start rather than bolting them on later.
Scope drives price more than size does. A targeted automation project or a single module — like an inventory system or a production scheduling board — generally starts in the mid four figures. A custom ERP that replaces multiple disconnected systems is a larger investment and is scoped after a discovery session where we understand exactly what you need. We provide a fixed-price proposal before any work begins so there are no surprises.
