A CNC precision-engineering shop in Blackheath — turning, milling, line boring and gear cutting for customers nationwide — Bisep set out to become a world-class manufacturer. With Paradigm's Manufacturing Module, they now see every job on the floor, and spot the bottleneck before it hits.
Bisep Precision Engineering, based in the Blackheath Small Business Centre, works in CNC production turning, milling, line boring, gear cutting and manufacturing — operating and distributing to companies nationwide.
— The challenge
Becoming world-class.
Bisep wanted a CRM and ERP better suited to their work than their previous software — one that would ease the management of jobs and workflows through their production floors. As owner Howard Fortune put it, it was about "moving with technology and becoming a world-class manufacturer within our sector," with real reporting and visibility of the production pipeline.
— The solution
The Manufacturing Module, on the floor.
Paradigm's team built it around how Bisep actually makes things — led by Director Andries Bester.
Custom RAG Board
A live red-amber-green board of every job on the floor — so bottlenecks are seen before they happen.
Production Tickets
Every job runs on a production ticket, tracked as it moves through each operation on the floor.
Task Routing
Work is routed through the production floors — turning, milling, boring, gear cutting — step by step.
BOMs & Costing
Bills of materials drive accurate costing — so Bisep can see if prices are correct and market-related.
Scan Job Cards
Job cards are scanned on the floor, capturing actual time against plan for real time-and-cost analysis.
Pipeline Visibility
See sales orders in the pipeline, lead and turnaround times, and whether the customer base is growing.
— The results
World-class, on time.
