    Where a workshop loses its day

    • An order is cut before anyone checks there is enough fabric, thread and zippers for all of it.

    • Sewing machines are rethreaded from black to white and back again, several times a day.

    • Nobody knows which order is at cutting, which is at sewing and which is waiting for labels.

    What ManuHive does

    From fabric to finished garment

    For workshops where many small orders share the same tables and machines.

    • Fabric and trims reserved per order

      Each garment carries its materials: fabric by the metre, thread, zippers, labels and bags. A new order reserves them, and finishing it deducts what was used.

    • Every step in sight

      Orders move through your steps, and you see live which ones are at the cutting table, on which sewing machine, and which are waiting.

    • A screen at every machine

      Operators tap their name, then start, pause or finish their step. A problem is reported in one tap and the order shows as stuck on everyone's screen.

    • Basic plan

      Colours from light to dark

      Tag products with their fabric and colour and enter how long a change takes on each machine. Optimize then runs the day from light to dark, so machines are rethreaded less often.

    • Basic plan

      Delivery dates you can keep

      Before you accept an order, see when it can really be finished from the current queue. Change a promised order and you see which others move.

    • A tracking link for your customer

      Send a customer a link that shows how far their order has got, so they do not have to call and ask.

    Getting started

    Set up for a workshop in one sitting

    Choose textiles when you sign up. You name your own products, steps and machines. ManuHive suggests the usual steps and adds the two facts that decide a workshop's changeovers.

    Facts on every product

    Fabric
    The fabric a product is made from. Switching fabric on a table or machine counts as a changeover.
    Colour
    The colour a product is sewn or dyed in. A new colour says which shade band it belongs to and ranks itself.

    Colour order, light to dark

    1. White
    2. Cream
    3. Yellow
    4. Red
    5. Green
    6. Navy
    7. Black

    Common questions

    Yes. An order can be a single piece or thousands. Every order follows your steps, and on the Basic plan samples can have a production flow of their own.
