Full digital traceability and audit-ready production records
DynamxMFG gives aerospace and defence subcontractors a complete digital audit trail from raw material certificate to despatch. Live job status, quality records, and works order documentation – all in one system. Live in 90 days.
Trusted by leading manufacturers worldwide:
Paper-based compliance is a liability in aerospace and defence manufacturing.
Aerospace and defence subcontractors face compliance demands that paper systems cannot reliably meet. These are the problems we hear consistently from manufacturers before they switch to DynamxMFG.
Your audit trail lives in ring binders
Traveller packs, inspection sheets, sign-off records, and material certs are filed in binders on a shelf. When a customer audit arrives, someone spends hours hunting for the right paperwork. Sheets go missing. Signatures are incomplete. Every audit is a risk.
You can’t tell a customer where their parts are
A delivery is due Thursday. A customer calls Monday for a status update. Someone walks the floor and asks operators. The answer comes back as “should be in grinding today”. That is not acceptable when customers are defence primes or aerospace OEMs.
Every job needs records that take hours to produce
First-article inspection records. Material certs linked to batch numbers. Inspection sign-offs per operation. Corrective action logs. All required. All produced manually, job by job. The admin burden grows with every new contract.
Document control relies on shared drives
Route cards, drawings, and inspection plans are stored on shared drives with no version control. There is always a risk an operator is working to an outdated revision. Discovering this during an audit is a serious non-conformance you cannot afford.
NCR tracking is a manual log with no job link
Non-conformances are recorded in a spreadsheet or paper log. There is no connection between the NCR and the affected job, part number, or operator. Tracing a non-conformance back through the record takes hours – and patterns go unidentified for months.
Customer reporting assembled manually per request
When a prime or OEM requests a production report, quality summary, or traceability pack, someone assembles it manually from scattered records. It takes half a day. It carries risk. And it happens every time a customer review is scheduled.
Sound familiar?
You are not alone. Most UK SME manufacturers come to us running exactly this way.
Generic ERP & paper systems vs DynamxMFG
Generic ERP and paper systems were not built for the compliance demands of aerospace and defence subcontracting. DynamxMFG was.
| Generic ERP & Paper Systems | DynamxMFG | |
|---|---|---|
| Audit trail completeness | ✕ Paper-based, gaps likely under pressure | ✓ Full digital trail, instantly retrievable |
| First-article inspection records | ✕ Paper forms or spreadsheets, filed separately | ✓ Digital, linked to job and part number |
| Material traceability | ✕ Batch certificate filed separately | ✓ Certificate linked to works order at goods-in |
| Live job status | ✕ Floor walk required to check progress | ✓ Real-time across all work centres |
| Quality NCR tracking | ✕ Manual log, no job or operator link | ✓ NCR linked to job, part, and operator |
| Document control | ✕ Shared drives, version risk | ✓ Documents linked to works order, controlled |
| Customer reporting | ✕ Assembled manually per request | ✓ Generated from live production data |
| Time to implement | ✕ 12-18 months for traditional ERP | ✓ Live in 90 days |
The traceability and quality records aerospace contracts demand.
DynamxMFG handles the traceability, quality, and documentation requirements that aerospace and defence contracts require – automatically, at the point of production.
Digital Traceability
Every works order carries a complete digital history. Material certificates are attached at goods-in and linked to the batch. Each operation records who did the work, when, and the outcome. When a customer audit or AS9100 review requests evidence, you retrieve it from one system – no ring binders, no missing sheets.
Replaces: paper traveller packs, manual traceability logs, ring binder filing
Quality Management
DynamxMFG captures first-article inspection records against the works order. Non-conformances are logged with the affected job, part number, and operator. Corrective actions are tracked through to closure with evidence attached. Quality managers spend less time on paperwork and more time on improvement.
Replaces: paper inspection sheets, disconnected NCR logs, and manual corrective action tracking
Live Production Tracking
Operators clock on and off each operation in DynamxMFG. Job status updates in real time as work progresses through turning, milling, grinding, inspection, and despatch. When a customer asks for an update, you give an accurate answer immediately. When a job falls behind, you see it early enough to act.
Replaces: floor walking, operator chasing, and verbal status updates
Works Order & Document Control
Route cards, engineering drawings, inspection plans, and customer-specific requirements are attached at order creation. Operators access the correct revision of every document from the shop floor. Every job runs to current approved documentation.
Replaces: printed drawing packs, shared drive version confusion, and manual route card filing

What manufacturers in complex environments say
Success stories from teams who transformed their factories with DynamxMFG.
DynamxMFG is an excellent choice for manufacturers looking to digitise operations without being overwhelmed by complexity.
Kristopher S
Service Engineer at Protea
As GMC has grown, it had become harder for me to have such a keen view on components to see if those parts were profitable or not. DynamxMFG enabled us to monitor the machine time and see whether we’re making a profit or a loss on each component.
Paul B
Managing Director at GMC
We chose the system over competitors because of its ease of use, strong customer support, and friendly delivery team. So far, everything has matched what was promised and the experience has been very positive.
Amy M
Head of Operations at Elite Skills Arena
DynamxMFG has significantly eased our start-up growing pains. We've really enjoyed working with the team and see huge potential in the software to support our growth as we scale.

The ability to dynamically modify BOMs after release, adding or removing items from work orders, scrapping, and reworking parts, has been the single biggest improvement for our business.
Andrew T
Managing Director at Protea
Overall, our experience has been very positive, with helpful and knowledgeable staff who work closely with us through regular meetings to tailor the software to our needs.
Michael G
Systems Engineer at Scintam Engineering
The system itself is very intuitive and user-friendly, which is essential when introducing new processes on the shop floor. The layout and workflows are logical and clearly built with real manufacturing environments in mind.
Amy M
Head of Operations at Elite Skills Arena
Setting up DynamxMFG was quick, support from the technical team was readily available when needed, the system is easy to use, and it offers excellent value for money compared to other solutions.

DynamxMFG bridges the gap between high-end MES systems and the practical needs of growing manufacturers, providing a live view of production that gives immediate insight into work orders, progress, bottlenecks, and downtime so issues can be identified and resolved before they escalate.
Kristopher S
Service Engineer at Protea
Implementing an MRP system can feel daunting, but the delivery and support teams have made the process much easier. They’ve taken the time to understand how our production works and have guided us clearly at every stage. Even at this early stage, we can see DynamxMFG will help improve visibility and planning while creating better flow across the business. We’re confident it will play a key role in making our operations more efficient as rollout continues.
