From quote to shipment.

This is how one order moves through your factory and warehouse, from the quote to the shipment. Frontlink connects your ERP, the floor and the warehouse and does the routine work. You make the decisions.

The quote, on your costing

Versmarkt emails asking for a price on two products. Frontlink calculates the quote on your recipes, raw material prices and line time, with volume breaks. You review and send.

Connects to what you already have.

Frontlink works alongside your ERP, not instead of it. Machines connect through an edge gateway in the factory, which keeps working when the internet drops out.

We agree with you which connections your company needs.

All integrations

Built for AI. Including yours.

Frontlink has its own AI built in. And anything you can do in Frontlink, your own AI can do too. Claude, ChatGPT or your own agent works on the same data, under the same rules.
