Eliminate end-of-month backflushing. Discover how real-time material issue logging and machine runtime tracking close the manufacturing costing loop.

Backflushing automatically deducts raw materials based on theoretical BOM standards when finished goods are booked. While simple, it conceals unrecorded scrap, material substitutions, and actual machine hours. Werkora enables real-time barcode scanning and terminal logging at each machine, closing the actual cost loop.
Many manufacturing operations rely on backflushing because it minimizes clerical data entry. However, if actual scrap is higher than theoretical BOM expectations, warehouse books show phantom stock that does not physically exist on shelves.
Deploying touchscreens and barcode readers on the factory floor allows workers to scan lot barcodes upon issuing material to machines. Actual consumption is logged at the moment of physical use, ensuring stock accuracy.
Real-time data capture closes the loop between engineering cost estimates and real accounting expenses. Variances are highlighted while orders are still on the line, enabling operational corrections.
Werkora equips every shop-floor supervisor, line operator, storekeeper, and accountant with their own dedicated login with plans sized for your operation.
An accounting method that delays inventory deductions until finished products are completed, multiplying finished output by standard BOM quantities.
Because it ignores shop-floor scrap and part substitutions; if workers consumed 105 units to produce 100 goods, 5 units remain incorrectly logged on warehouse books.
