MRP Provides the Tactical Focus SMBs Need
A practical path to control, clarity, and growth.
Set Your Sights on What Moves Product
Your accounting software can’t manage production. And most ERP systems assume you already have a team of specialists just to set them up. You don’t need layers of modules or a quarter-million-dollar rollout to get control of your inventory. You need tools that help you ship products, not manage overhead. That’s why Aligni exists.
Built for Production, Not Paperwork
Designed for small manufacturers, Aligni keeps production moving without the overhead. Instantly see what parts are available, which builds are ready, and what’s missing — all from one clear, actionable dashboard.
- Track on-hand, on-order, and allocated inventory at a glance
- Connect inventory availability to production plans and schedules
- Coordinate purchasing decisions with production demand
- Manage builds, BOMs, alternates, and supplier data — all in one place
One System. Everyone In Sync.
Aligni unifies inventory, purchasing, engineering, and production in one system — so everyone sees the same information and can act without delay. That means fewer miscommunications, faster decisions, and more predictable execution.
- Inventory and purchasing share the same data as engineering and production
- Build schedules reflect what’s actually in stock — and what’s incoming
- Purchase orders are driven by current demand and safety stock targets
- Build stronger relationships with suppliers and vendors
What’s the average time to implement business software?
It depends. Cloud tools can be adopted in days. Larger ERP systems? Months. You’re dealing with consultants, data migrations, and infrastructure planning—before your team ever logs in.
That’s why companies often stall out when evaluating solutions. Aligni MRP is different. Evaluate with your own data. No lengthy setup. No waiting. Most teams are live in just days.
Focused Tools for SMBs
Don’t pay for a feature list. Invest in execution.
ERP systems are built to check every box on a software RFP—whether you need those features or not. Aligni takes a different approach: give growing manufacturers the tools they actually need today, with the flexibility to scale later. You get full control of inventory and production, with the option to integrate accounting and ERP tools when the time is right.
Keep your current accounting and CRM stack. Add ERP components when (and if) you need them.
More Tools, More Confidence. Take a Closer Look.
