Eight modules for the EMS operating cycle, from RFQ to invoice.
WLD covers the operating cycle of a high-mix EMS company from the RFQ to the invoice; the statutory ledger stays in Procountor, which WLD feeds. Modules go live in phases, configured around your workflows, decisions and controls.
RFQ & quoting
Every high-mix RFQ on one controlled path, with pricing grounded in your own history instead of gut feel.
- RFQ pipeline with defined stages and approval workflows, so every quote follows the same controlled path.
- PCB price estimation from your own quote history combined with current market data.
- BOM management that keeps manufacturer and customer part identities side by side.
- Approved alternates handled natively, so sourcing options are part of the quote, not an afterthought.
BOM Import + AI Scrubbing
From a messy supplier, CAD or engineering BOM to a controlled, purchasable structure, without retyping it line by line. This is where WLD goes furthest beyond generic ERP: the system reads your BOM as it is, scrubs it with AI, enriches it with live distributor data, and turns it into items and draft purchase orders — under human control at every step.
- Imports supplier, CAD or engineering BOMs from Excel (.xlsx/.xlsm), multi-sheet, with automatic column mapping — unmapped columns are kept as classification hints.
- AI scrubbing in two stages: cheap local heuristic matching first, then an LLM maps noisy BOM lines to existing ERP items, infers manufacturer part numbers, and classifies item type and group — with a confidence score and reason per line.
- Live distributor enrichment during scrubbing: descriptions, prices, lead times and stock pulled from DigiKey, Mouser, Farnell, Arrow and Future for electronics, and from Würth, Bossard and Fabory for fasteners and C-parts — eight distributor connections, each switched on with your own account. Bossard and Fabory publish no product-search API, so theirs read a search address you configure.
- Human Review Queue: verify MPN, quantity, price, lead time, distributor, mounting, group and type; associate a row with an existing item, or auto-create new item masters from unresolved rows.
- MPN ranking: alternative manufacturer part numbers ranked across the connected distributors by best price, best lead time or best stock; DigiKey, Mouser, Arrow, Future and Farnell price for the quantity you price.
- Before Apply Import writes anything, it shows every Stock Item it will create or change, each field from old to new, and nothing is saved until you accept it.
- With a ranked set, Apply Import becomes "Apply Import + Draft POs": supplier-grouped draft purchase orders with generated PO PDFs.
- Extras on the same screen: BOM explode, where-used, Excel export, LCA analysis and EOL report PDF.
Purchasing & consignment
Supplier reality — MOQs, lead times, consigned stock — enforced by the system, not by memory.
- MOQ/MPQ and lead-time handling built into every purchase proposal.
- Consigned and customer-owned stock managed with explicit liability rules.
- Supplier rules and exceptions captured once and applied consistently.
Material planning
Planning that starts from what is missing — and tells you exactly what to do about it.
- Regenerative MRP: each run nets the whole open order book against stock, purchase orders and production, and shows what is short.
- Clear allocation and expedite decisions for buyers and planners.
- Readiness indicators showing which jobs can actually start — and which can't, and why.
Job pipeline
Every job, from backlog to done, in one visible flow — including extended pre-production work.
- One flow from backlog through NPI and purchasing to done.
- A development pipeline for extended pre-production, where jobs need engineering time before they hit the floor.
- Optional ERP order import where an existing ERP remains in place.
Planning board
The whole production plan on one board — with readiness visible before you commit.
- Work centers with planned dates for every job.
- Readiness colors show at a glance which jobs have their materials and can run.
- A clear status flow: pending → planned → in progress.
Production & shop floor
What actually happened on the floor, captured once and used everywhere.
- Work time capture per work center, so actuals are real, not reconstructed.
- Production completion posting with scrap recorded at the source.
- Batch and serial traceability built into the production flow.
Quality & traceability
Audit-ready evidence in one place — genealogy, quality records and controlled documents, recorded as the work is done.
- NCR and quality records tied directly to the jobs and materials they concern.
- Lot and serial genealogy for every item set to be tracked: receipts, production, picking, deliveries and returns ask for the numbers.
- Document control so the right revision is the only one in circulation.
- Internal and supplier audits run against a built-in clause register — 123 clauses across ISO 9001, ISO 13485, EN 9100, IPC-A-610, IPC J-STD-001 and UL — with findings, checklists and reports kept per programme year.
- Material compliance on every item: RoHS with exemptions, REACH SVHC, conflict minerals and WEEE, plus moisture-sensitivity floor life tracked to IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.
WLD holds the operational records an auditor samples. Certification remains yours to earn — the system does not grant it.
Job costing & invoicing
Margin truth per job — fed back into the next quote, and into your accounting.
- Actual vs quoted cost on every job, while there is still time to act.
- Purchase price variance tracking that turns margin feedback into better quoting.
- E-invoicing and accounting integration to close the loop with finance.
