ERP, Inventory & Automation Systems for Ottawa Manufacturers
We build custom ERP and inventory software that helps Ottawa-area factories cut waste, move faster, and stop losing money to manual processes — without ripping out what already works.
Ottawa's manufacturing sector — from advanced electronics fabricators in Kanata to metal shops in Gloucester and food processors along the Rideau — runs on tighter margins than it should. Spreadsheets, disconnected systems, and paper-based workflows quietly drain hours every week and hide the real cost of every production run.
Global Maple System builds ERP, inventory, and automation software specifically shaped around how Ottawa manufacturers actually operate. That means bilingual interfaces where you need them, integration with federal procurement workflows, and systems that survive a January shutdown and come back clean in the spring.
Sound familiar?
What Manufacturers & Factories in Ottawa tell us
- ✕Production floor supervisors and the office are working from different spreadsheets — and neither is fully current.
- ✕Skilled staff spend hours every week on data entry that should take minutes, pulling them away from work that actually requires their expertise.
- ✕Inventory discrepancies only surface at month-end, by which point a shortage has already halted a production run or a rush order has already gone out the door.
- ✕Older ERP systems bought a decade ago can't connect to modern equipment, e-commerce channels, or federal supplier portals without expensive workarounds.
Why Ottawa Manufacturers & Factories choose us
Real-Time Inventory Visibility
Know exactly what raw materials, WIP, and finished goods you have across every floor and warehouse location — updated live, no manual counts, no end-of-shift surprises.
Faster Production Planning
Generate accurate production schedules based on actual stock levels, open orders, and machine capacity. Stop over-promising lead times to customers because your planner is working from yesterday's numbers.
Fewer Costly Errors
Automated purchase orders, receiving workflows, and BOM tracking eliminate the transcription mistakes that cause shortages, duplicate orders, and expensive rush freight from Toronto or Montreal.
Compliance-Ready Reporting
Whether you're supplying federal government contracts or meeting ISO traceability requirements, your data is structured and exportable the moment an auditor asks for it.
Lower Carrying Costs
Automated reorder points and demand-based forecasting keep stock lean without risking stockouts — freeing up capital that was sitting idle on your shelves.
Made for Manufacturers & Factories
Custom ERP Development
We design and build end-to-end ERP systems tailored to your production process — from raw material intake through finished goods dispatch — rather than forcing your operation into a generic template.
Inventory & Warehouse Management
Barcode and QR-based tracking, multi-location stock management, cycle count tools, and automated replenishment rules built to match your specific storage and handling workflows.
Production & Shop Floor Automation
Digital work orders, machine utilization dashboards, quality hold workflows, and real-time WIP tracking that give floor managers and executives the same accurate picture at the same time.
ERP Integration & Migration
Connect your existing accounting software, CNC equipment, e-commerce platforms, or government supplier portals to a unified data layer — or migrate off a legacy system with zero data loss.
Reporting & Business Intelligence
Custom dashboards showing OEE, scrap rates, order fulfillment performance, and landed cost — built for the KPIs your leadership team actually reviews, not a generic template.

Questions, answered
We work with operations of all sizes — from 10-person machine shops in Nepean to multi-shift production facilities in the east end. Our engagements are scoped to what you actually need, so you're not paying for modules you'll never use.
Yes. We build fully bilingual (English and French) interfaces where required, and our data models support bilingual product descriptions, supplier records, and customer-facing documents — important for manufacturers who ship into or source from Quebec.
A focused inventory or production tracking module typically goes live in six to ten weeks. A full ERP build runs longer depending on complexity, but we deliver in working increments so your team sees real value before the final handoff.
Almost certainly. We regularly integrate with QuickBooks, Sage, SAP, and federal platforms like Ariba and Buyandsell. If you're on the government supply chain, we know the data formats and compliance requirements that come with it.
No. We offer ongoing support, system updates, and retainer-based development for manufacturers who want to keep improving their systems over time. Most of our Ottawa clients stay with us well past the initial launch.
