Proxtivity replaces legacy ERP systems for manufacturers who bring in material, run internal operations, rely on outside processing, and need accurate, repeatable visibility into work, cost, and performance—from quotation to collections.
Because your business matters
At Proxtivity we help business leaders transform from working in their business to working on their business. Our approach differs from big-box software because we understand that not all manufacturing companies are the same. A solution that works for one business may not work well for another—even if it is labeled “industry standard.”Our systems are built from the knowledge of the people who do the work every day. We capture that knowledge, challenge assumptions where needed, and design an integrated information system that reflects your current state and supports your future state—your way—because you matter.
Common reasons companies call us
If you recognize these, Proxtivity is worth exploring:
Planners running the factory in spreadsheets
Duplicated data across systems (no single source of truth)
Missed deliveries and constant expediting
Margins unknown / quoting surprises
Outside processing “black holes” (parts disappear and status becomes guesswork)
Month-end close painful
Quality paperwork and traceability burden
Inventory not trusted
Outcomes you can expect
Reduce scheduling chaos with clear priorities and real-time status
Improve inventory accuracy with traceability that matches how material actually moves
Know true job cost with labor and outside processing captured at the source
Accelerate month-end close with financials delivered in days, not weeks
Shorten the cycle from quote → order → production → ship → invoice → collect
Proof
Inventory accuracy: improved to stable levels where recurring physical inventories became unnecessary within 12 months. Accounting: reduced prior-month financial preparation from 5–10 business days to 3 days or less.
It may not look like your last ERP demo—and that’s the point
Proxtivity’s day-to-day ERP workflows run in a character-based, keyboard-driven interface delivered securely over SSH. Some people expect “pretty screens” and initially assume it’s a step backward—until they use it. Why we do it:
Speed: fast navigation and data entry without mouse friction
Adoption: simpler training for transactional users
Agility: improvements can be implemented quickly—even significant changes
Stability: consistent workflows under real manufacturing pressure
Modern visibility for leaders: dashboards, KPIs, and analytics are delivered through tools like Microsoft Power BI (and other reporting layers as needed).
How Proxtivity works
1) Discover realityWe interview the people who do the work and map the real flow—exceptions included. 2) Design the pathWe identify the biggest constraint, define the future state, and create a staged plan with a clear launch deadline. 3) Deliver fast valueWe start where impact is highest—often accounting, quoting, inventory, scheduling, or outside processing—then expand. 4) Implement and adoptTraining, iteration, and measurable improvement until the system becomes the natural workflow for your team.
