Injection Molding ERP Software
Need Top-Quality Injection Molding ERP Software?

Manufacturing businesses depend on accurate, up-to-date information to keep production running smoothly and efficiently.
For plastic injection molders, managing tooling, materials, production schedules, quality, purchasing, and customer orders requires software built around the realities of the industry. Generic ERP platforms can often require extensive customisation before they become genuinely useful, adding to implementation times and making everyday processes more complicated than necessary.
At Moulders Consulting, we provide ERP software developed specifically for the plastic injection molding industry. Instead of adapting a general manufacturing system, we have built our solution around the workflows, terminology, and operational requirements that injection molders deal with every day.
Our mission is to help manufacturers gain greater visibility across their operations, reduce inefficiencies, and make better-informed decisions using accurate, real-time information.
Designed Specifically For Injection Molding Companies
Our ERP and MRP software has been developed exclusively for injection molding businesses. With more than 40 years of combined industry experience, we have worked across production, sales, operations, management, and manufacturing, giving us a practical understanding of the challenges molding companies face.
That experience has directly influenced how our software works. Rather than asking businesses to change their processes to suit a generic system, our software is designed to support the processes that matter most to injection molders.
From new product introduction through to production planning, purchasing, quality management, and invoicing, our software brings essential business functions together in one integrated platform. This helps information move seamlessly between departments while reducing duplicate data entry and reliance on disconnected spreadsheets.
Supporting Every Stage Of Production
Injection molding involves much more than producing components. Materials need to be ordered, tooling has to be managed, jobs need to be scheduled, quality needs to be monitored, and customer deadlines must be met. Our software is designed to support every stage of this process.
The system includes tools for quotations, new product introduction (NPI), production planning, purchasing, shop floor operations, quality control, traceability, and delivery. Bringing these functions together gives manufacturers a clearer view of production performance and helps teams communicate more effectively.
Plus, because everything is connected, changes made in one part of the business can flow through the system, helping teams work with consistent, up-to-date information.
Production Planning And Scheduling
Effective production planning is vital for making the best use of machinery, meeting delivery dates, and managing available capacity.
Our software includes visual production planning tools that allow schedules to be managed by week, day, or even hour. This gives production managers the flexibility to respond quickly to changes in customer demand, machine availability, or production priorities.
With a clearer view of upcoming schedules and available capacity, businesses can allocate resources more effectively, minimise avoidable delays, and keep production moving efficiently throughout the factory.
Materials Planning Built Around Injection Molding
Material management in injection molding is different from many other areas of manufacturing. Resin blends, masterbatch, additives, and recycled content can all affect material requirements, production planning, and costs.
Our Bills of Material use material percentages rather than fixed quantities, reflecting how injection molding businesses typically calculate material usage. When product weights, shot sizes, or process settings change, material calculations can adjust automatically, helping to improve accuracy and reduce the need for manual calculations.
This gives manufacturers greater flexibility while supporting more accurate purchasing, inventory management, and production planning.
Improved Traceability Across Manufacturing
Quality Management And Compliance
Consistent product quality is a priority for every injection molding business.
Our software includes quality management features that allow non-conformance reports, corrective actions, and inspection records to be managed alongside production information. Instead of maintaining separate quality systems, manufacturers can manage quality as part of their wider operational workflow.
For businesses manufacturing plastic packaging, our ERP platform also includes a Plastics Packaging Tax calculator. This helps users assess potential liabilities based on material composition and recycled content. Having this functionality within the software can support better decision-making during product development, quoting, and manufacturing.
Traceability is increasingly important for manufacturers supplying regulated industries and clients with demanding quality standards.
Our software provides end-to-end traceability, allowing materials to be followed from purchase order, through production, and into the finished component. Details relating to tooling, production batches, secondary operations, and quality records can all be connected within the system.
This makes it easier to investigate issues, meet compliance requirements, and maintain accurate production records. Detailed traceability information also supports stronger quality management by helping manufacturers identify trends, monitor performance, and respond quickly when action is needed.
Real-Time Shop Floor Visibility
Having reliable production information available throughout the working day enables managers to make quicker, more informed decisions.
Our ERP solution supports shop floor data capture and provides dashboards that give a real-time view of business performance. Production progress, purchasing, sales, deliveries, and quality information can all be accessed from a central location, helping management teams spot potential issues before they develop into larger problems.
Greater visibility across the factory improves communication between teams and gives manufacturers the information they need to make confident production decisions.
Managing Tooling, Purchasing, And Inventory
Injection molding businesses often have substantial investments in tooling, as well as significant requirements for raw materials and purchased components.
Our ERP software includes a dedicated tooling register, giving businesses a straightforward way to maintain accurate records of tooling ownership, location, and status. Purchasing functionality responds to production demand and stock allocations, helping ensure materials are available when they are needed while avoiding unnecessary stock levels.
By linking purchasing directly with production planning, manufacturers can improve stock control and make scheduling more efficient.
Integrated Business Management
Running an injection molding business involves far more than managing production.
Our ERP software brings together customer and supplier management, quotations, invoicing, purchasing, CRM functionality, and accounting integrations including Sage, Xero, and QuickBooks. This allows businesses to manage their operational and commercial activities through one connected system rather than relying on a collection of separate applications.
Having a single source of information helps improve consistency across departments, reduces duplicated administration, and gives teams a clearer view of the business as a whole.
Implementation Backed By Industry Experience
Introducing a new ERP system is a major project for any manufacturing business. Successful implementation depends on more than the software itself; it also requires a genuine understanding of how manufacturing operations work in practice.
At Moulders Consulting, we support customers throughout the implementation process, drawing on decades of experience in the plastic injection molding industry. Our team has worked directly within molding businesses, giving us practical knowledge of production, planning, operational management, and continuous improvement.
Alongside ERP implementation, we provide consultancy services covering manufacturing efficiency, Industry 4.0, Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), scheduling, and process improvement. This helps businesses get more value from their software investment while identifying further opportunities to improve performance.
