Our aim is to become the leading supplier of Business Management Software to the UK Make-to-Order and Engineer-to-Order manufacturing sector by: 
  • Providing business solutions tailored to the requirements of contract or project type businesses, backed up by first-class support. 
  • Developing leading-edge solutions for its markets.
KnowCom develops, supports and sells the 4PM manufacturing product within the UK. 4PM is a fully integrated manufacturing planning and control system that has been designed from the outset to meet the unique requirements of the "Make/Engineer-to-Order" or "Repair-to-Order" company.

One of the main differences between conventional MRPII, ERP systems and 4PM is that all the information is directly pegged to customer contracts at every level and in every area.   This gives total visibility to plan, track and control the status of every contract and so improve the levels of customer service.  Where a major part of a company's business is order or contract related, then 4PM provides the precise control over estimating, production, material procurement and costs that are so important to maintain profitability and provide high levels of service. 
This site discusses the fundamental difference between a ‘standard’ ERP/MRP solution and 4PM, there is a support area for existing clients, and has general information about KnowCom, its clients and its partners.
