# ERP Software in Hinckley > ERP Software for businesses in Hinckley. CubeERP covers Hinckley and Leicester, Loughborough and Melton Mowbray, with on-site implementation and support from our Olney office. **URL:** https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/erp-software/leicestershire/hinckley Hinckley is well within our regular travel radius from Olney, which means implementation here is done in person rather than over a screen share. That matters more than it sounds: most of what a system needs to know is learned by standing in the building. ## Details - **Solution:** ERP Software - **Group:** Core platform - **Platform:** CubeERP (https://cubeerp.co.uk/platform) - **Location:** Hinckley, Leicestershire - **Distance from our Olney office:** 39 miles - well within our regular travel radius from Olney - **Postcode districts:** LE10 - **Also known as:** ERP system, Enterprise resource planning software, Business management software, MRP software, Order management system, ERP for SMEs ## Coverage We cover Hinckley and the surrounding area, including Town Centre, Burbage, Barwell, Earl Shilton and Dadlington, across the LE10 postcode districts. We also work with businesses in Leicester, Loughborough and Melton Mowbray and elsewhere in Leicestershire. ## What is included - **Quote to cash in one thread:** An enquiry becomes a quote, an order, a works order, a despatch note and an invoice without a single field being retyped. Every document links back to the one before it, so any question can be answered from any point in the chain. - **Live stock everywhere it matters:** Free, allocated and on-order quantities visible on the quote screen, the order screen and the shop floor - across every warehouse, van and bin, updated the moment something moves. - **Production that reflects reality:** Multi-level bills of materials, works orders, routings and capacity planning, with actual time and materials booked against the estimate rather than assumed to match it. - **Costing down to the line:** Margin by customer, product, job and salesperson - calculated from what things actually cost this month, not from a standard cost set three years ago and never revisited. - **Finance without double entry:** Sales and purchase invoicing with two-way sync to Xero, Sage and QuickBooks. Your accountant keeps the ledger they know; you stop keying the same invoice twice. - **Permissions and audit as standard:** Granular role-based access, approval limits by value, and an immutable audit log of every change - included in the base product, not sold as an enterprise tier. ## Real-world use cases ### A fabricator running on three spreadsheets **Scenario:** A 45-person metal fabricator quoted from one spreadsheet, tracked jobs on a whiteboard and invoiced from their accounts package. Nobody could say what a finished job had actually cost until the management accounts landed six weeks later. **Outcome:** Quotes are now built from a live material price list and convert straight to works orders. Time and material bookings feed job costing in real time, and the whiteboard has been replaced by a shop-floor screen showing the same data as the sales office. ### A distributor promising stock it did not have **Scenario:** A trade distributor across two warehouses updated stock figures in the accounts package once a day, so the sales team were quoting on yesterday’s numbers and short-shipping roughly one order in twelve. **Outcome:** Barcode scanning on goods-in, picking and stock takes brought accuracy above 99%. Sales now see free stock live, allocated stock is reserved at order entry, and short shipments have effectively stopped. ### A business where the founder was the system **Scenario:** An installation company’s pricing rules, supplier lead times and customer quirks lived entirely in the managing director’s head. Every unusual order went through him, and holidays were stressful for everyone. **Outcome:** Customer-specific pricing, contract rates and supplier lead times are now held in the system and applied automatically. The order desk handles the exceptions without escalating, and the MD has stopped being a bottleneck. ## Figures - **1 record** Enquiry to invoice, no re-keying between stages - **Live** Stock, margin and job cost, not a monthly report - **UK** Hosted, supported and built in Britain ## Frequently asked questions **How long does an ERP implementation take?** For a typical business of twenty to a hundred people, expect eight to sixteen weeks from kick-off to go-live: discovery, configuration, data migration, training, then a supported cutover. Complex manufacturing or multiple sites take longer. We give you a realistic range after discovery, not an optimistic one to win the order. **Do we have to replace our accounts package?** No. CubeERP handles sales and purchase invoicing and syncs both ways with Xero, Sage and QuickBooks. Most customers keep the ledger their accountant is comfortable with and let CubeERP handle everything upstream of it. **What does ERP software cost in the UK?** CubeERP is priced per named user per month with a one-off implementation fee covering configuration, data migration and training. There is no per-connector licence and no charge for the API. We quote the implementation as a fixed price after discovery so it cannot quietly become an open-ended project. **Can it handle our existing data?** Yes. Customers, suppliers, parts, bills of materials, price lists, open orders and stock balances are all migrated as part of the implementation. We migrate, you reconcile against your old system, and we only cut over once the numbers agree. **What if our process is unusual?** Then it gets built. Crushed Ice sits in the same group and has been writing bespoke business systems since 2003. The difference is that they build against a documented API on a platform we control, rather than bolting onto a black box. **Where is the data hosted?** In the UK, on infrastructure managed by the group, with encrypted off-site backups and a documented, tested recovery process. Data residency is part of the platform rather than a premium tier. ## Related solutions - **Business Management Software** - One place for customers, orders, stock, jobs, suppliers and invoices, so the business stops being run from a folder of spreadsheets. https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/business-management-software/leicestershire/hinckley - **Stock Control Software** - Multi-location stock with bin locations, barcode scanning, batch and serial traceability, and figures that are right first time. https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/stock-control-software/leicestershire/hinckley - **Manufacturing Software** - Bills of materials, works orders, routings, shop-floor booking and real job costing - for businesses that make things to order. https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/manufacturing-software/leicestershire/hinckley - **Order Management Software** - Take, allocate, fulfil and invoice orders from one screen - with live stock, part-shipments, back orders and contract pricing handled automatically. https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/order-management-software/leicestershire/hinckley ## Elsewhere in Leicestershire See https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/erp-software/leicestershire for ERP software across Leicestershire. ## Contact - **Product:** CubeERP - **Trading name of:** Cube Systems Limited (company number 17220899, ICO registration number ZC216972) - **Email:** hello@cubeerp.co.uk - **Sales:** sales@cubeerp.co.uk - **Support:** support@cubeerp.co.uk - **Telephone:** 01234 672 617 (+441234672617) - **Address:** Unit 11, Olney Business Park, Osier Way, Olney, Buckinghamshire, MK46 5FP - **Opening hours:** Monday to Friday, 9am to 5.30pm - **Part of:** Crushed Ice Group (https://crushedicegroup.co.uk)
