Industrial ERP · Made in Ghana, built for Africa
Bold Factory Less runs the whole company of a factory that transforms materials: raw material, production, stock, sales, logistics, payroll and real double-entry accounting. One system, one truth, at a price a growing factory can actually carry.
Why factories choose it
Most industrial software was designed for factories that already have an IT department. This one was designed for the factory floor first, then made rigorous enough for the accountant.
A factory does not need to spend a fortune, wait eighteen months and hire consultants to know what a batch cost. BFL brings the same rigour, at a scale a growing factory can carry: perpetual stock, real cost price, double-entry books.
Nobody re-types anything into the books. Confirming a delivery moves the stock and posts the cost of sales in the same transaction. And the software always cites a role, never a hard-coded account number, so the chart of accounts stays yours.
Declaring is not validating. Granting is not disbursing. Keeping a recipe is not touching prices. Eight verbs, a preset per role and an override per person. And a role can work without ever seeing an amount.
When an item has no weight in the catalogue, the software does not compare a partial load: it names the item to complete. A missing figure is said out loud, because a false variance accuses an innocent driver.
Cash, mobile money, cheques after clearing, several banks. Country and currency chosen at installation, from 41 countries. Tax and contribution scales are set by the company itself. The software ships none, because rates change by decree.
Installed on site, the factory keeps working when the internet drops. Tablets and phones are first-class: every screen is built to be used standing, in a warehouse, on a 393-pixel display.
Inside the software
The full inventory
Nothing here is a promise for later. Each module below exists in the software today, with its own screens listed under it. A module is not a chapter in a brochure: it is a right the factory switches on or off, and gives to a person verb by verb. Names are kept in English, exactly as you will find them once you sign in.
The first screen of the day, and the one the owner opens at night.
Dashboard · Executive cockpit
From the client file to the signed delivery note: one chain, no re-keying.
Clients · Client Orders · Order readiness · Invoicing · Delivery Notes · Finished Goods Catalog · Marketing & Commercial · My Space
Every movement of money, and where it landed in the books.
Payments · Payment Declarations · Deposits & Advances · Client Debts · Expenses
Buying raw material without losing the thread between order, reception and invoice.
Raw Material Catalog · Suppliers · Raw Material Purchases · Supplier Credits
Perpetual stock, real lots, and a scale that tells the truth.
Raw Material Stock · Finished Goods Stock · Inventory · Weighbridge
Which vehicle, which driver, which orders, with or without a weighbridge.
Logistics
Recipes, orders, shop floor, quality, and what a batch really cost.
Machines · Machine Stops · Routings · Recipes (BOM) · Production Orders · Quality Control · Scraps · Reprocessing · Costs & valuation
The screen that repairs the past without rewriting it.
Regularization
Double-entry books that were never typed twice, and a payroll that computes.
Accounting · Budgets · HR & Payroll · Staff loans · Reports
Who may do what, what happened, and how the company is set up.
Company Settings · Business rules · Users · Notification broadcast · Audit Log · Data Import
It does not stop here
Every line below shipped, was tested against a real factory, and is in the product today. The next ones are already on the bench: configurable payroll components, a French interface, the OHADA chart of accounts, and transport costs carried into the cost price.
Registers, the commercial chain, purchasing and stock, production, finance and HR, with PDF documents and the first factories installed.
Perpetual stock, payroll components posted to the books. Then one audit per module, each finding settled version by version: FEFO, thresholds, cheques after clearing, blocking quality control, warehouse transfers, losses valued at cost.
Balanced balance sheet with stock reconciled to the ledger, VAT, multi-bank on every flow, treasury. And a separate universe for the owner, with reports, PDF export and sharing.
Eight verbs per module and overrides per person; real material cost, production costs allocated, full cost and margin per item; commercial agents with provisioned commissions and rebates.
An advance becomes a real receivable with a schedule and a transferable ratio. The chart of accounts is neutralised and administrable, country and currency are chosen at installation, and payroll computes tax and contributions from dated scales.
The 143 role-based guards converted into rights; documents stop opening by their address. Then explicit deployment modes, private file storage, portable backups, maintenance mode. And a first factory running hosted, updating itself.
Loads that exist with or without a weighbridge, a vehicle and driver register, assignment refused when a truck is already taken, real loaded quantities carried into the delivery note and the order, the credit note suggested and pre-filled, expected weight at the gate, and raw material collected the other way round.
Deployment
The server sits in the factory. Workstations, tablets and phones reach it over the local network. No internet, no interruption. And the weighbridge indicator is wired directly to it.
Your own machine, your own domain, reachable from several sites. Backups are portable: what leaves one installation can be restored on another.
Nothing to install. Updates and database migrations arrive on their own, and the version history says exactly what changed. Automatic weighbridge capture stays a job for an on-site installation.
A demonstration is done on your own products, your own units and your own recipes, not on a sample database. Tell us what you transform, and we will set it up.
