What TotalControlPro does

TotalControlPro Limited is a Northampton, UK-based private software company founded in 2013 by four founders that built DynamxMFG, a cloud-based Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and Material Requirements Planning (MRP) platform targeting UK SME discrete manufacturers with 10–200 employees. The product is a unified eight-module SaaS suite (MES, Order Management, Resources & Workforce, Shopfloor Data Capture, Inventory Management, Pack & Dispatch, Manufacturing Intelligence, and Planning & Scheduling) designed to run alongside — not replace — customers' existing finance, ERP, and CRM systems. The company sells via direct enterprise field sales, quote-based annual subscriptions priced by factory size and modules selected, and targets go-live within 90 days versus 12–18 months for traditional ERP implementations. Customer-reported outcomes include 40% capacity increases (GMC), 99.9% on-time delivery across 700+ vehicle builds/year (CPL/KLUBB Group), and 75% reduction in manual data entry.

The company operates a hybrid go-to-market mixing product-led adoption (intuitive UI, free ROI calculator and digital readiness assessment) with sales-led enterprise motions and heavy investment in UK manufacturing trade events (MACH, Advanced Engineering, Smart Manufacturing Week). It maintains pre-built integrations with Sage (50/200/Cloud), Xero, QuickBooks, Hubspot, Salesforce, Microsoft Business Central, Power BI, SolidWorks, Make and others. TotalControlPro has 30+ publicly named customers spanning precision engineering, EV manufacturing (Maeving), specialist vehicle converters (CPL/KLUBB), textiles (QK-TEX), automotive suppliers, aerospace/defence (Safran, Siemens references), and tire manufacturing (Kal Tire), with around 20+ employees following growth from the founding team.

Financing has come from an undisclosed angel round (2017–2019) and a £935,750 Crowdcube crowdfunding round (October 2021). Strategic Director Dolores Sanders won Innovate UK's Women in Innovation Award in 2019 (£50,000 funding component), and the company has subsequently received the DIF Lighthouse Award for Manufacturing Innovation (2024) and SME British Made Award (2023). CEO Dorian Smellie was selected in 2026 for Innovate UK's Global Business Innovation Programme to explore AI manufacturing opportunities in the United States.

Direct peers

• MRPeasy: Cloud-based MRP/MES for small manufacturers, very similar target customer (10-200 employee discrete manufacturers) and similar emphasis on fast implementation and ease of use versus traditional ERP. Most direct UK/EU comparable.
• Katana Cloud Inventory: Cloud manufacturing ERP/MRP platform for SME manufacturers with real-time shop floor visibility, BOM management, and integration ecosystem. Competes in the same SMB discrete manufacturing segment.
• JobBOSS (by Exact): Manufacturing ERP/MES for job shops and make-to-order manufacturers. Closely comparable on customer profile (custom and job shop manufacturers) and on core job costing/shop floor control functionality.
• E2 Shop System (by Shoptech): Job shop shop floor control and MES software for small to mid-size manufacturers. Direct overlap in job tracking, machine scheduling, and shop floor data capture for job shop and CNC environments.
• Fishbowl Manufacturing: Inventory and manufacturing management software for SMB manufacturers with BOM, work order, and shop floor capabilities. Comparable target customer and pricing model.

Broad incumbents

• Odoo: Open-source ERP with a manufacturing module (MRP/MES functionality) and broad app ecosystem including accounting, CRM, and inventory. Much larger and broader, but actively targets the same SME manufacturing segment.
• Acumatica Manufacturing Edition: Cloud ERP with native manufacturing (MES, MRP, production management) for SMB and mid-market manufacturers. Broader portfolio but competes for the same buyer with similar price points.
• SAP Business One: Established mid-market ERP with manufacturing functionality. Competitor in the same SME manufacturing segment with much larger R&D, partner network, and installed base.
• SYSPRO: ERP and MES vendor focused on discrete and process manufacturers, particularly in the SMB and mid-market. Comparable on shop floor control and manufacturing functionality, with much larger global footprint.
• Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central: Cloud ERP with manufacturing add-ons that is one of TotalControlPro's most relevant integration partners. Represents the broader ERP ecosystem that DynamxMFG is positioned to 'run alongside' rather than replace.
