Exact Online for Manufacturing

In manufacturing, control over your production process is everything: from BOM management and material planning to work order status and quality assurance. With Ledger Botje you connect Exact Online to your AI assistant via the MCP protocol. Check work order status, verify material availability for production runs, register completions and review routing steps. Complex production data becomes accessible through simple questions. Whether you run job shop or series production, AI gives you real-time insight without clicking through screens.

Consider a machine-building workshop planning next week: before releasing a work order, the planner asks the AI whether all BOM materials are in stock and which purchase orders cover the shortages. What used to require opening every material plan separately is now one question per work order, and production only starts when the parts are actually there.
