MRP

QT9 MRP by QT9 Software is a cloud-based Material Requirements Planning system designed to help manufacturers plan, schedule, and manage production with real-time visibility. By connecting demand, inventory, and purchasing data in a single platform, QT9 MRP enables small to mid-sized manufacturers to streamline operations, reduce waste, and meet demand with confidence — without replacing their existing accounting systems.

QT9 MRP is purpose-built for manufacturers across a wide range of industries, including medical devices, pharmaceuticals, aerospace, automotive, chemicals, cosmetics, food and beverages, plastics, and general manufacturing. It is available as both a cloud-based and on-premise deployment, giving organizations the flexibility to choose the environment that best fits their IT and security requirements.

Core Manufacturing Modules

• Manufacturing and work order management — create, release, and manage work orders from a centralized dashboard, tracking job progress, resource use, and labor in one place
• Bill of Materials (BOM) — supports single- and multi-level BOMs including subassemblies and complex production workflows, with access to a library of manufacturing parts, models, and specifications
• Shop floor management — schedule and assign jobs to specific work centers or employees, with real-time status tracking and updates directly from the shop floor
• Inventory and warehouse control — real-time inventory tracking across locations, including warehouse location management and automated reorder alerts
• Purchasing and supplier management — automatically generate and track purchase orders based on actual demand, inventory levels, and supplier lead times
• Sales and order management — organize, track, monitor, and execute customer orders end to end

Material Requirements Planning Capabilities

• Automatically generates work orders and purchase orders based on sales orders, demand forecasts, current inventory levels, production schedules, and supplier lead times
• Minimizes material shortages and overstock through smarter, data-driven forecasting
• Ties inventory directly to every MRP process so raw materials and finished goods are always accounted for, improving traceability and reducing waste
• Supports multi-level BOM planning for highly complex products and subassemblies
• Provides real-time updates from the shop floor to keep production aligned with demand and reduce delays

Key Features

• Traceability — lot and serial number tracking across the entire supply chain, supporting audits, recalls, and compliance requirements
• Barcoding and scanning — quickly scan barcodes to ensure accurate pricing and label tracking
• Forecasting — form predictions based on past and present data and trends to optimize inventory and production planning
• Reporting and analytics — visualize manufacturing trends with graphs, charts, and reports
• Inventory dashboards — view and track metrics in real time with personalized grid views
• Inventory control — automate inventory management and monitor stock levels in real time
• Alerts and notifications — set custom alerts based on inventory levels and operational needs
• Access controls — configure role-based permissions and authorization levels for specific files or features
• Billing and invoicing — create, manage, and send invoices or bills to customers
• Supply chain management — manage the planning and execution of supply chain activities

Automation and Workflow

• Embedded next-generation automation workflows enable faster, smarter operations by eliminating time-consuming manual checks
• Real-time insights reduce human errors and speed up decision-making
• Configurable workflows and process automation can be tailored to specific operational requirements
• Custom fields, data structures, and scalable configuration options allow the system to grow with the business
• Production data — including quantities completed, scrap, and downtime — is logged as it happens, providing actionable insights for continuous improvement

Pre-Validation and Compliance

• QT9 MRP is pre-validated out of the box to support FDA, ISO, and GxP compliance requirements
• Includes full Installation Qualification (IQ), Operation Qualification (OQ), and Performance Qualification (PQ) documentation to keep teams audit-ready
• Supports a broad range of compliance standards including ISO 13485, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 17025, AS9100, MoCRA, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, FDA 21 CFR Part 210/211, FDA 21 CFR Part 820, EU GMP, EU MDR, and GxP compliance
• Electronic signature approvals and secure access controls are included
• Eliminates costly internal validation efforts, reduces downtime waiting for system approval, and minimizes the risk of failed audits

Integrations

• Accounting integrations with QuickBooks, Xero, and Sage 50 allow manufacturers to manage financials separately while keeping operations tightly connected
• Integrates with QT9 QMS to connect quality events — such as nonconformances, inspections, and corrective actions — directly to production and inventory data
• Employee, customer, and supplier web portals provide secure access to vital documents, improving communication and collaboration
• For organizations requiring built-in financials, QT9 ERP extends QT9 MRP capabilities into a fully integrated platform including accounting, customer management, and financial reporting

QT9 MRP is designed for rapid deployment — up and running in weeks rather than months — with U.S.-based support and guided implementation provided directly by QT9 Software, with no third-party or outsourced teams involved. The platform is scalable and configurable, making it suitable for manufacturers from startups to enterprises seeking to improve materials planning, inventory control, and production efficiency.
