Customer story
BluSky Products Group
BluSky's published story describes replacing separate spreadsheets and sharing stock availability across its teams.
Is Tall Emu the right fit?
Tall Emu suits manufacturers that make to order, assemble products or need to connect quoting, purchasing, production and stock. It also supports Work Orders to build stock.
Production processes vary. If your business needs complex capacity scheduling or detailed planning across machines and workstations, discuss those requirements with our team before deciding.
Manufacturing questions
Can we make to order and make to stock?
Yes. Staff can create Work Orders for a customer order or to build stock. Forecast-based automated production or replenishment is not currently available; the documented Replenishment Rule setting does not automate production against forecasts or reorder levels.
Can we keep MYOB or Xero?
Yes. MYOB or Xero remains your accounting system. Tall Emu connects customer, sales, purchasing, production and stock records. Supported financial records sync according to your accounting product and integration settings.
Can we track serial numbers and batches through production?
Yes, where products are configured for serial or batch tracking. Staff need to record the required identifiers on the relevant input, output and stock records.
Which manufacturing enhancements are still planned?
Richer made-to-order specifications and visual planning across people, machines and workstations are planned, not currently available. Discuss your specification and planning requirements with our team so you can assess the capabilities available now.
