Manufacturing
We deliver implementations for mid-sized manufacturers who have outgrown Excel, but for whom a big ERP costs more than it brings in. Instead of waiting quarters for a feature from Comarch — you get dedicated modules built on Open Mercato, with an AI assistant from day one.

The pattern is the same for a sewing workshop, an orthosis manufacturer and a garden furniture factory. Only the vocabulary differs — the pain is exactly the same.
Every quote means hours of spreadsheet juggling, copying formulas, updating fabric and accessory prices. At a scale of dozens of quotes per week — the sales rep becomes the bottleneck.
A product made of several components, each with its own material usage, cost and supplier. Calculating this by hand is error-prone, and a BOM error = a margin error.
The same quote for 100 vs 1000 units is two different margins. For a strategic customer — a third. For B2B and B2C — a fourth and fifth. The rules exist, but no one has codified them.
Screen printing per number of colors, embroidery per stitch count, milling, lacquering, engraving. Each technique has its own pricing model. In quotes — chaos.
An order for 5 prototypes does not look like an order for 1000 units. The system needs its own logic, otherwise the sales rep estimates „by feel” and loses margin.
Every sales rep puts a quote together their own way. No consistent branding, no unified layout, no versioning. The buyer sees chaos — the company looks smaller than it is.
Big systems are bolting on AI 15 years late — and only in selected modules. An open system gives you an AI assistant right away, matched to your processes.
The sales rep looks at 4 tools at once. A single source of truth does not exist. Every new implementation starts with the question: „where are the current fabric prices, anyway?”.
Case studies
Different products, different processes — but the same pain and the same direction of the solution. Here is what it looks like in practice.
Every order is different. The sales rep used to keep dozens of parameters in their head: patterns (back, front, pockets, lining, bottom, handles), fabrics, accessories, quantity-based margins, screen printing variants per number of colors, prototypes, minimum order. A quote in Word took half a day.
A dedicated pricing engine in Open Mercato. The sales rep enters the order parameters, the system generates a table of price variants for 100/250/500/1000 units and a uniform PDF for the customer — in seconds.

AI assistant
Orthoses are a regulated and highly individual product — every configuration requires measurements, material selection, components and accessories tailored to the patient. Orders often arrive by email, through a distributor or from a doctor, in formats nobody anticipated.
An order-intake workflow from a form + automatic generation of a manufacturing routing sheet for production. The system validates parameter completeness, calculates material and labor cost, and the sales rep sees a full order briefing without retyping it from email into Excel.

The garden furniture industry runs on seasonal cycles — 70% of revenue happens in just a few months. At peak, sales reps drown in quotes: every piece has color variants, equipment options, oversize shipping costs and different margins per sales channel (B2B vs B2C, distributor vs end customer).
A quoting module with a configurator for color and equipment variants, automatic weight and dimension calculation for shipping costs, and margin rules per sales channel. At peak season, a sales rep produces 3× more quotes without growing the team.

Modules built on Open Mercato — rolled out one by one, at a pace that does not paralyze production. You take only what you need and expand once you see the result of the first step.
A dedicated calculator for your products — with BOM, margins, decorations, prototypes and quantity variants.
Fabrics, accessories, components, suppliers. Prices updated centrally, not from the sales rep's memory.
Per product group, per quantity, per channel, per customer. Managed centrally, applied automatically.
Hourly rates, time standards for different product types. Included in the quote without extra work.
Automatic calculation of package weight and dimensions, shipping cost per zone/carrier.
A standard, polished PDF with price variants, specification and branding — generated with one click.
Suggests quote variants, recognizes similar orders, speeds up the sales rep's work, supports margin decisions.
Production status, quote history, customer–order relationships in one place.
The code is yours. You can extend the system freely, without waiting for the vendor.
Comarch, Asseco, SAP B1 and the like build universal combines for thousands of companies. The problem is that your company is not universal — and every customization in a closed system costs weeks of negotiation and tens of thousands of zlotys.
No big-bang. We come in module by module, starting from the biggest pain point.
A conversation about your processes. We identify bottlenecks and point to the module that will deliver the biggest return the fastest.
Together we describe the current flow — patterns, materials, margins, channels, documents. The specification of the first module emerges.
Typically 4–8 weeks. Runs in parallel with the current system. The team sees the result before you decide on the rest.
We add further modules once the previous ones are running stably. You decide the order, we deliver.
Let's talk about your process. We will show how Open Mercato can replace Excel sheets and the closed system you have long outgrown — in just a few weeks.
