Small and medium-sized injection moulding businesses face unprecedented pressures in 2026: volatile resin prices, complex Plastics Packaging Tax (PPT) regulations, labour shortages, supply chain disruptions, and demands for faster quoting and full traceability. Generic ERP systems often fail because they weren’t built for the unique realities of plastic injection moulding. At Moulders Consulting, our industry-specific ERP/MRP platform – Fraction – was designed by people who have worked on the shop floor, delivering real efficiency gains and profit improvements.
Why Tailored ERP Makes the Difference Standard systems use rigid quantity-based BOMs that don’t reflect how moulders actually work with percentage material blends, colourants, and additives. Our percentage-based BOMs automatically adjust calculations based on part weight, cycle times, and shot sizes, eliminating manual errors and speeding up processes.
The integrated NPI and quotation system allows rapid, accurate quoting that includes tooling, trials, validations, and real-time material pricing. Built-in PPT calculators help you stay compliant while making smarter design and sourcing decisions that minimise tax liabilities.
Real-World Efficiency Gains Implementing Fraction typically delivers measurable improvements: reduced inventory holding costs, better machine utilisation, fewer stockouts, and improved on-time delivery. Our MES integration provides real-time production monitoring, helping managers make data-driven decisions instantly.
We don’t just supply software – we become your implementation partner with hands-on training, custom configuration, and ongoing support from plastics industry veterans. Many SME moulders report significant ROI within the first year through streamlined operations and better compliance.
