ERP, Inventory & Automation Systems for Vancouver Manufacturers
Global Maple System builds custom ERP and inventory platforms that give Lower Mainland factories real-time control over production, stock, and compliance — so you stop running your plant on spreadsheets and gut feel.
Vancouver's manufacturing sector — from Richmond food processors and Surrey fabricators to Burnaby aerospace suppliers — faces a common ceiling: operations that outgrew QuickBooks years ago but never got the purpose-built system to match. Work orders get lost in email threads, inventory counts happen on clipboards, and the Port of Vancouver's shipping windows get missed because nobody had a live view of what was actually in the warehouse.
Global Maple System designs and delivers ERP, inventory management, and shop-floor automation tools built specifically for BC manufacturers. We work on-site, we understand WorkSafeBC documentation requirements, we know what the BC carbon levy reporting looks like, and we build systems your team will actually use — not shelfware that costs a fortune and sits idle.
Sound familiar?
What Manufacturers & Factories in Vancouver tell us
- ✕Production managers at Surrey and Richmond plants are still reconciling inventory in Excel at month-end, causing costly write-offs and surprise stockouts on the line.
- ✕With BC's tight labour market, skilled floor workers are spending hours on data entry and paperwork instead of value-adding production tasks.
- ✕Port of Vancouver shipment windows are inflexible — manufacturers with no live supply-chain visibility are regularly missing cut-offs and paying premium freight to catch up.
- ✕Growing BC manufacturers are running three or four disconnected tools (QuickBooks, a standalone WMS, a spreadsheet job tracker) and nobody has a single version of the truth.
Why Vancouver Manufacturers & Factories choose us
Real-Time Inventory Visibility
Know exactly what raw materials and finished goods you have across every warehouse and production line — updated the moment a pallet moves, not at the end of a shift.
Faster, Accurate Order Fulfillment
Automate pick lists, shipping labels, and dispatch scheduling so your team gets orders out the door faster and customer complaints about wrong shipments disappear.
Eliminated Production Bottlenecks
Connect your work orders, machine capacity, and materials in one system so supervisors can see where a job is stalled and fix it before it becomes a missed deadline.
Cleaner Compliance Documentation
Generate WorkSafeBC incident logs, BC environmental reports, and quality control records automatically from your production data — no manual re-entry, no audit panic.
Scalable Without Hiring
Handle more SKUs, more shifts, and more customers without proportionally growing your back-office headcount — the system does the coordination work your team currently does by hand.
Made for Manufacturers & Factories
Custom ERP Development
A purpose-built enterprise resource planning system designed around how your plant actually operates — from raw material purchasing through finished goods dispatch — not a generic template you have to bend your process to fit.
Inventory & Warehouse Management
Barcode and RFID-driven inventory tracking with real-time dashboards, low-stock alerts, and cycle-count workflows that replace manual clipboard counts across your BC facilities.
Shop Floor & Production Automation
Digital work orders, machine utilisation tracking, and automated job scheduling that give supervisors a live view of every production run without chasing people down on the floor.
Supply Chain & Procurement Integration
Connect your ERP to supplier portals, BC customs documentation, and freight carrier APIs so purchase orders, lead times, and inbound shipments flow in automatically.
Reporting, Compliance & Business Intelligence
Automated dashboards for production KPIs, waste tracking, WorkSafeBC documentation, and BC carbon levy reporting — built into the same system your team uses every day.

Questions, answered
Yes — the majority of our manufacturing clients are in the broader Lower Mainland, including industrial parks in Surrey, Langley, Delta, Richmond, and Burnaby. We work on-site as needed and are familiar with the operational realities across the region.
In most cases, yes. We regularly build integrations with QuickBooks, Sage, and older legacy systems. Our first step is always a discovery session to map your existing tools and data, so nothing gets lost in the transition.
A focused implementation for a manufacturer with one or two facilities typically takes three to five months from discovery to go-live. Scope, data migration complexity, and how many integrations are needed are the main variables — we give you a clear timeline before any work begins.
We design for the people on the floor, not just the IT department. Every system we build includes hands-on training, plain-language documentation, and a support period after launch. If something is confusing your team six months later, we want to know about it.
Yes — our team has worked with BC manufacturers across food processing, metal fabrication, and wood products. We build compliance reporting directly into the workflow so it's generated from data your team already enters, not a separate manual process.
