What it is
qcadoo MES manages production for small and medium-sized manufacturers, from order planning and raw-material checks to shop-floor tracking and production cost accounting.

The cloud service is accessed through a browser and internet connection; the maker also offers an AGPL-licensed Community Edition for customer-server deployment. A free 30-day demo is available after contacting the company or submitting its form. Paid plans include BASIC for 5 licenses at €220 a month, billed monthly, or €195 a year, billed annually; OPTIMAL for 5 licenses is €270 a month or €245 a year, respectively.
