Software for industry and energy that takes production from paper to screen

Opus Online, a software development company in Tallinn, Estonia, builds custom solutions for manufacturing and energy companies: production planning, workstation apps, real-time tracking and ERP integrations. We replace spreadsheets and paper slips with software that gives full visibility into production.

Let’s talk about which process in your production wastes the most time.

What we offer

We do three main types of work for manufacturing and energy companies.

Production planning and management

Orders arrive from the ERP, the solution breaks them into tasks, schedules the queue and tracks completion in real time. Managers see all of production from a single view.

Custom software

Workstation applications

Workers mark completed steps on tablets, view drawings and comments, and receive change notifications instantly. Paper and word-of-mouth drop away.

Mobile apps

ERP integrations and data flows

The ERP provides the data, our solution translates it into the right format. Stock levels, orders and completion statuses flow between systems automatically.

Integrations

Problems we solve

  • Production is a black box

    Managers don’t know the status of orders unless they walk the floor and ask. Our solution shows in real time what’s done, what’s waiting and where the bottleneck is.

  • Planning happens in Excel

    Changing the production plan means hours of rework and version confusion. Our solution takes orders from the ERP and schedules work automatically.

  • Time tracking is manual

    Nobody knows exactly how much time a product took. The system measures time automatically and passes the data on for analysis and pricing.

  • Information doesn’t reach the workstation

    Drawings, changes and comments travel by email or on paper. The workstation app always shows the latest version and notifies workers of changes immediately.

  • Data is scattered across systems

    ERP, production planning and warehouse don’t talk to each other. Integration brings data together and eliminates manual re-entry.

  • The existing solution doesn’t scale

    The old system can’t handle the load or new requirements. We modernise the existing one or build from scratch.

Taking over an existing system

We take over industrial solutions built by another vendor or an internal team. We start with an audit: review the code, architecture and integrations, then propose a plan to bring the system up to date.

In manufacturing we often deal with legacy systems that nobody fully understands any more. We update frameworks, improve performance and document the logic so the system doesn’t remain a black box.

We have extensive experience in developing IT software and e-commerce solutions for businesses, spanning from the financial sector to insurance and pharmaceutical industries. We serve as a long-term partner for both large corporations and rapidly growing startups.

How we work

You communicate directly with the people who build your solution, not intermediaries.

  1. Kick-off meeting

    We listen to your goals and get to know the production process and existing systems.

  2. Analysis

    We map workflows, data flows, integrations and workstation requirements.

  3. Prototype

    A clickable prototype tested with production staff before development begins.

  4. Iterative development

    A working release every couple of weeks, continuous feedback from the shop floor.

  5. Maintenance and further development

    We stay with the system: monitoring, security updates and new features.

Frequently asked questions

  • Does the solution integrate with our existing ERP?

    Yes. We have integrated solutions with various ERP systems. We take data from the ERP, translate it into the right format and send completion data back. If the ERP has an API, we connect it; if not, we find an alternative approach.

  • Do the tablets hold up in a production environment?

    The application runs on standard industrial tablets. We design the UI so it can be used with gloves and in dusty environments – large buttons, clear contrast, minimal navigation.

  • How long does it take to build a solution like this?

    A first working version with core features is typically ready in 3–5 months. A more complex system with many workstations and integrations may take longer. We provide an accurate timeline after analysis.

  • Does the system track production times?

    Yes. The system automatically measures how long each stage and each product took. The data feeds into productivity analysis, pricing and bottleneck detection.

  • Can you modernise our existing production solution?

    Yes. We start with an audit, evaluate the code and architecture, then propose a plan – whether that means performance improvements, new features or a full rebuild.
