MaquilaCore — Plant & workforce
Maquiladora software: ERP, shop floor, workforce and more
The maquiladora lives between corporate ERP, a shop floor that reports on paper and a dozen systems that don't talk to each other. We build and integrate the software that closes those gaps — custom, or with our MaquilaCore product, piloted in Ciudad Juárez.
Employee transportation is solved with ViaCore and the customs front with AduCore: three cores from the same house, on the same standard.
What a plant needs to solve
Six fronts every maquiladora knows — and almost none has connected.
1
Production & shop-floor control
Orders, consumption, scrap and downtime captured live — a real-time dashboard for management and TV mode for the floor.
2
ERP & SAP/MES integration
Your corporate office has SAP; your plant has Excel. We connect both worlds without touching the ERP: IDocs, OData, OPC UA, read-only.
3
Workforce & attendance
Clock-ins, shift coverage with volunteers, rule-based overtime and an absenteeism board — integrated with your payroll (TRESS or other).
4
Employee transportation
GPS routes, boarding as pre-attendance and reconciliation against what the carrier invoices — solved with ViaCore.
5
Customs & foreign trade
Annex 24 synchronization, digital files and inventory traceability — one more front of the operation, solved on the same core.
6
Reports & data
OEE, per-line and per-shift indicators, and corporate reports that generate themselves — no more Friday spreadsheet marathons.
Custom or product? Both
Our MaquilaCore product ships with the modules every plant needs (dashboard, workforce, shop floor, kardex) and is implemented module by module; custom development covers what's unique to your operation. Most operations combine both.
Meet MaquilaCoreFrequently asked questions
What every maquiladora asks.
I need an ERP for my maquiladora — which one suits me?
If your corporate office already has an ERP, you almost certainly don't need another one: you need to connect it to the shop floor and local systems. If you're an independent operation, we evaluate together between a commercial ERP, MaquilaCore modules, or a combination — by size, budget and processes.
We already have SAP at corporate — what's missing at the plant?
The usual: real-time shop-floor capture, attendance and shift control, a reliable inventory kardex, and the bridges between all of them. SAP isn't touched — it gets fed clean data instead of re-entries.
Can you connect the plant with the customs broker's system?
Yes. We synchronize inventories and discharges with the Annex 24 system and the broker's dispatch, so foreign trade stops chasing papers over email. AduCore takes that front even further.
How long does an implementation take?
Module by module: the first useful pieces (shop-floor dashboard, attendance) ship in weeks. The initial 3–4 week diagnostic sets the order based on where it hurts most.
