Why 3d printing & prototyping teams pick Otiox over the alternatives
Most software for this space was built either for the warehouse (no MRP, no work orders) or for the factory floor (no live inventory, no e-commerce). Otiox is the connected operations platform: every purchase order, work order, stock movement and shipment hits the same ledger, and the people on the floor see exactly what the people in the office see — in real time.
Operations in one record, not five tools
Inventory, BOMs, work orders, purchasing and shipping share a single source of truth. No CSV ping-pong between systems and no overnight syncs that go out of date.
Real-time visibility for every team
Floor operators clock onto a work order from a tablet; office staff watch the same job tick down in the planner. Stockouts and bottlenecks surface in seconds, not at the next standup.
Built for makers, not enterprises
No six-month rollout, no certified consultant required. Most teams are on production within a week, using their existing barcodes, suppliers and customers.
Compliance and traceability included
Lot and serial tracking, expiry alerts, audit trail, e-invoicing and fiscal modes are part of the platform — not a paid add-on.
Scales without re-platforming
Start with one workspace and a handful of users; add multi-warehouse, multi-currency and multi-entity when you need them, without migrating data.
Honest pricing
Flat per-workspace rate. The 11th and the 50th user costs the same as the 1st. No hidden integration fees.
Outcomes teams report in the first 90 days
Benchmarks from manufacturers and distributors who switched to Otiox.
Cycle counts and barcode receiving cut shrink and ghost stock fast.
Reorder points and supplier lead times calculated from your real history.
Spreadsheets and copy-paste between tools simply disappear.
Pick lists, packing slips and shipping labels in the same flow.
One platform end to end
From raw material intake to customer fulfilment, every step lives in the same workspace — and every step links back to the order that triggered it.
- Purchasing → receiving → quality control → on-hand stock
- Sales orders → reservations → production → fulfilment
- Costing rolled up from materials, labour and overhead
- Connected to QuickBooks, Xero, Shopify and WooCommerce when you need them
