Why do you need this solution?
For SMEs, managing production processes often feels like navigating a maze. From raw material input to final product output, each stage contains countless variables. Are your production plans constantly disrupted, your inventory either excessive or insufficient, and you can't predict when your machines will break down? Perhaps you struggle to track your skilled workers' daily performance or understand why overtime costs are rising.
Many SMEs still attempt to manage their production processes with Excel spreadsheets, paper forms, or disparate small software solutions. This leads to data loss, manual errors, and most importantly, wasted time. Does this scenario sound familiar: having to visit different departments to find out a single order's status, spending hours on inventory counts, failing to calculate costs accurately, and consequently, not clearly seeing your profit margins? The inability to monitor real-time status on your production floor can lead to missed delivery dates and customer dissatisfaction.
Delays in progress payment processes, payroll errors due to inaccurate attendance tracking, and uncontrolled material waste are issues that directly impact your business's profitability. In today's highly competitive market, every single cent and every minute holds immense value. Inefficiencies not only increase costs but also limit your growth potential. Wouldn't you want to illuminate these blind spots in your production processes and achieve a more efficient, more profitable structure?
These challenges encountered in production not only create operational disruptions but also hinder your ability to make strategic decisions. Seeing with accurate data which product is more profitable, how much return a machine investment will bring you, or which customer's order is a priority is vital for your business's future. This is precisely where a modern Manufacturing Execution System (MES) steps in, eliminating all these uncertainties and transforming your production processes from top to bottom.

Try for Free →Production Planning and Scheduling
Ensures real-time tracking and optimization of your production plans. With Parsek, you can create production plans based on orders or stock, and schedule to utilize your resources most efficiently. This increases your adherence to delivery dates and boosts customer satisfaction.
Work Order Management
Digitizes the entire process from the creation to the completion of production orders. Through Parsek, you can define work orders, specifying which product, when, in what quantity, and through which stages it will be produced. By tracking the status of work orders instantly, you can easily monitor production progress.
Recipe and Inventory Management
Allows you to define detailed recipes (Bills of Material - BOM) for every product manufactured. Parsek enables you to easily manage changes in recipes and perform Material Requirements Planning (MRP) based on these recipes. This way, you procure the right amount of material at the right time, reducing your inventory costs and preventing production interruptions.
Capacity and Resource Planning
Effectively manages the current capacity of your machines, workforce, and other production resources. With Parsek, by seeing which machine is idle and when, and which personnel is working on which task, you can balance your production load and prevent bottlenecks. This increases your production efficiency and shortens your delivery times.
Quality Control
Ensures you maintain quality standards at every stage of your production processes. Parsek helps you define quality control points from raw material input to final product output, record test results, and manage non-conformities. This way, you guarantee your product quality and reduce customer complaints.
Cost Accounting and Progress Payment Tracking
Allows you to calculate your production costs in detail. Parsek accurately determines product costs by collecting all cost elements such as raw materials, labor, and general manufacturing expenses. For businesses engaged in project-based production, it simplifies progress payment processes, ensuring the tracking of completed work and used materials.
Attendance and Performance Tracking
Enables you to monitor your production floor personnel's working hours, performance, and efficiency. Parsek records time spent based on production orders, forming the basis for accurate attendance tracking and payroll calculations. This way, you can optimize your labor costs and increase personnel efficiency.
Maintenance Management
Manages planned and breakdown maintenance for your production machines and equipment. With Parsek, you can create maintenance schedules, manage maintenance orders, and minimize machine downtime. This reduces production interruptions and extends the lifespan of your equipment.
Data Collection and Reporting
Collects real-time data from the production floor and transforms this data into meaningful reports. Parsek allows you to monitor critical metrics such as Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), scrap rates, and production time. Through detailed reports, you can identify strengths and weaknesses in your production processes and make strategic decisions.

Typical Use Cases
Scenario 1: Make-to-Order Machine Manufacturing SME
Consider a machine manufacturer. Each order is produced with a different configuration according to the customer's specific requests. In a manual system, a separate Excel spreadsheet was created for each new order, Bills of Material (recipes) were updated manually, and production stages were tracked with paper forms. This led to incorrect material orders, production delays, and errors in cost calculations. With Parsek, a customized work order is quickly created for each new order. Recipes are dynamically updated, and Parsek automatically performs material requirements planning, ensuring the supply of the right parts at the right time. Each stage on the production floor is recorded via tablets, allowing managers to instantly see which machine is at which stage and how much time each personnel has spent. Progress payment processes are automatically calculated based on completed production stages, providing transparency and speed in customer invoicing.
Scenario 2: Food Manufacturing SME
A bakery products manufacturer produces hundreds of different product varieties daily and must optimize inventory management for products with limited shelf life. In the old system, production planning was based on estimates, which sometimes led to overproduction and waste, and sometimes to underproduction and missed sales. Thanks to Parsek's Production Management module, optimized production plans are created based on past sales data and demand forecasts. Since detailed recipes for each product are defined in Parsek, raw material requirements are automatically calculated, and inventory levels are monitored instantly. Quality control processes are digitally recorded for each batch, ensuring end-to-end product traceability. The attendance tracking system accurately monitors how much time bakers and other employees spend on each production batch, simplifying payroll calculations. This reduces scrap rates, lowers inventory costs, and guarantees product freshness.
Scenario 3: Textile Apparel Manufacturer
A textile apparel company produces various clothing models for different customers. When products passing through many stages such as cutting, sewing, ironing, and packaging were tracked manually, it remained unclear which order was at which stage or how much workload each workshop had. With Parsek, a work order is created for each order, and this work order is divided into sub-work orders according to production stages. Fabric inventories are tracked instantly via Parsek, preventing production stoppages due to incorrect cuts or missing materials. Since the capacity of each sewing line and ironing table is defined in Parsek, the workload is evenly distributed, and bottlenecks are prevented. Employee performance and completed tasks are tracked with the attendance system, allowing for efficiency analyses. Thanks to this integrated approach, delivery times are shortened, production costs are reduced, and customer satisfaction increases.
