An ERP shaped like your shop — not Epicor's roadmap.
Legacy manufacturing software either takes 18 months and a six-figure services contract to stand up, or it's a lightweight SMB tool that runs out of headroom at 40 employees. We build custom shop-floor, scheduling and quality operating systems with AI in weeks, on a flat monthly subscription — no implementation fee, no per-user tax, no bolt-on modules.
Lemon Labs is ranked in the top 10% of custom builders on Lovable.dev — the AI-native development platform.
Plus per-user seats, module upgrades, EDI add-ons, and a services contract to configure the whole thing.
One monthly subscription. Build, hosting, iteration, AI upgrades — all included.
Walk us through your floor, your top parts and your customers on a 45-min discovery call, or send a written brief.
Legacy ERP vs. Lemon Labs.
What the platforms actually cost.
Sticker prices are misleading. Real cost is platform fee + per-user seats + module upgrades + services + the jobs you can't quote fast enough because your system can't see your floor.
- 12 – 24 month rollouts with a services partner
- Every module (MES, QMS, WMS, CRM) priced separately
- Configuration debt piles up — upgrades become projects
- Finance-first — the shop floor is a bolt-on
- Per-user pricing punishes putting operators on it
- Routings and BOMs live in workarounds, not the core
- SMB-priced, SMB-scoped — outgrown by 50-employee shops
- Thin MES layer — scheduling and quality are afterthoughts
- Customer portals and RFQs are not really in the box
- Paper travelers walk the floor — data lags by days
- Costing is a monthly reconstruction, not a real-time view
- Every audit and PPAP is a scramble through email
A system that fits your floor.
We start from your parts, your work centers and your top customers — then design the shop-floor console, scheduler and quality module around them. Everything below is included in your monthly subscription.
- Shop floor console — work orders, travelers, labor and machine clock-in
- Live BOMs and routings with revision control and effectivity dates
- Finite-capacity scheduling by work center, tool and operator skill
- Quality module — in-process checks, NCRs, CAPA, PPAP packets
- Inventory with lot / serial / heat-code traceability end to end
- Purchasing with vendor scorecards and auto-generated POs from MRP
- Customer portal — RFQs, order status, ASNs and quality docs
- AI estimating copilot — turns drawings and spec sheets into quotes
- Real-time OEE, scrap and margin dashboards by job and work center
- QuickBooks / NetSuite / Sage sync + EDI 850 / 855 / 856 / 810

Step into a working operating picture we built for a precision-machining job shop — browse today's jobs, open a work order, and watch the AI copilot flag a capacity conflict on a bottleneck machine.
- Live job queue across 6 work centers
- Work order detail with routing, labor and material
- Finite scheduling with capacity warnings
- AI copilot triaging late jobs and quality holds
