One ERP for your entire operation.
Job shop, make-to-order, make-to-stock, or engineer-to-order - Cortrova unifies safety, quality, production, maintenance, inventory, delivery, and finance with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 native, not bolted on. Built for 10-to-500-employee manufacturers, with Trunnion AI watching OEE, first-pass yield, and Cpk drift across every job on the floor.
The challenge
- !Safety, quality, and production run in separate tools that don't share a part number, so nothing reconciles and visibility ends at each department boundary
- !ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 surveillance audits mean a manual scramble to reconstruct evidence that should have been captured as the work happened
- !A single shop runs job-shop one-offs, make-to-order builds, and make-to-stock lines at once, but the ERP only models one of them well
- !The plant manager has no single screen - KPIs live in a dozen exports and the morning starts by chasing numbers instead of acting on them
- !Cpk drift, OEE loss, and on-time-delivery slip surface in hindsight, after the quarter closes, with no early signal to act on
- !Environmental and ESG reporting - emissions, waste, water - is assembled by hand from systems that were never built to feed it
How Cortrova answers
- ✓Seven operational areas - safety, quality, production planning, shop-floor control, maintenance, inventory, and finance - share one data model, so a number entered once is true everywhere.
- ✓ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 ship native on the same platform: both map to the Annex SL clause structure (4-10), so quality and environmental evidence is captured as you work, not rebuilt before the surveillance audit.
- ✓Four shop types - job shop, make-to-order, make-to-stock, and engineer-to-order - run on one platform, so a mixed-mode plant doesn't need a second system for its custom work.
- ✓The Plant Manager Dashboard puts live OEE, first-pass yield, and on-time delivery on a single screen, with an overnight Trunnion AI briefing and prioritized action items refreshed every 15 minutes.
- ✓SPC drift detection holds Cpk on critical characteristics and correlates emerging drift to recent maintenance events and supplier changes before it becomes a non-conformance.
- ✓The ESG and environmental view pulls emissions, waste, and water tracking straight from the ISO 14001 module, so EPA and sustainability reporting assembles itself from operational data.
- ✓An integrated Mock Auditor runs audit-prep sessions against both ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 and classifies findings before the registrar ever walks the floor.
Two frameworks, one platform
ISO 9001 and 14001. Same structure, different focus.
Both standards share the Annex SL high-level structure, so Cortrova maps quality and environmental management to the same clause backbone (4-10). Context, leadership, planning, support, operation, performance evaluation, and improvement are tracked once and serve both systems - and the integrated Mock Auditor prepares you for either surveillance audit on the calendar.
ISO 9001:2015 - quality focus
Document control, NCR and CAPA, internal audits, management review, and process monitoring wired to the workflows that generate their evidence, mapped clause by clause.
ISO 14001:2015 - environmental focus
Aspects and impacts, legal and other requirements, objectives and targets, and emissions, waste, and water tracking maintained against the same Annex SL structure.
Mock Auditor for both
Interactive, registrar-style audit-prep sessions run against 9001 and 14001, classifying findings as observations, minor, or major non-conformances before the real audit.
Four shop types, one platform
However you build, it's modeled.
Most industrial plants aren't one production model - they quote a custom one-off in the morning and run a forecasted line in the afternoon. Cortrova models all four production strategies on the same platform, so a mixed-mode shop runs every job in one system.
Job shop
Custom one-off and low-volume work - quote, route, and trace each unique job without forcing it into a standard-product mold.
Make-to-order
Customer-specific builds kicked off by the sales order, with configuration and routing driven per order.
Make-to-stock
Standard products built to forecast, with demand planning, replenishment, and finished-goods inventory.
Engineer-to-order
Engineered projects scoped per order - design, BOM, and build tracked from concept to ship.
The plant manager's screen
The single screen that runs your plant.
Live KPIs on one dashboard, an overnight AI briefing waiting each morning, and a prioritized action list refreshed every 15 minutes - so the day starts with decisions, not a hunt for numbers across a dozen exports.
Live KPIs
OEE, first-pass yield, and on-time delivery in real time, with the safety days-since-recordable counter against goal - the numbers that decide the shift, on one screen.
Trunnion AI Daily Brief
An overnight cross-domain briefing surfaces what changed across quality, maintenance, and production while you were gone, with the patterns no single department would have caught.
Prioritized actions
A ranked action list refreshed every 15 minutes so the highest-leverage problem is always at the top, not buried in a report.
How it works
Adopting industrial manufacturing.
Map your operation and shop types
Load parts, routings, and BOMs for whichever mix of job-shop, make-to-order, make-to-stock, and engineer-to-order work you run, then connect suppliers and inventory so production and quality are live from week one.
Switch on both ISO systems
ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 map to the shared Annex SL clause structure, so document control, NCR/CAPA, audits, and environmental aspects start capturing evidence as work happens - and the Mock Auditor is ready for the next surveillance audit.
Run the floor from one screen
The Plant Manager Dashboard goes live with OEE, first-pass yield, and on-time delivery, SPC drift detection holds Cpk on critical characteristics, and the overnight Trunnion AI brief turns operational data into a prioritized action list every morning.
Compliance frameworks
Built in, not bolted on.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
Does Cortrova handle ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 together?
Yes, and on the same platform. Both standards share the Annex SL high-level structure, so Cortrova maps quality and environmental management to one clause backbone (4-10) - context, leadership, planning, support, operation, performance evaluation, and improvement. Evidence is captured as you work, and the integrated Mock Auditor prepares you for either surveillance audit. There is no separate environmental add-on; ISO 14001 is native alongside ISO 9001.
We run more than one production model. Can one ERP handle that?
That's exactly what Cortrova is built for. Job shop, make-to-order, make-to-stock, and engineer-to-order all run on the same platform, so a mixed-mode plant that quotes a custom one-off in the morning and runs a forecasted line in the afternoon manages every job in one system instead of forcing the work into a single production mold.
What does the Plant Manager Dashboard actually show?
Live KPIs - OEE, first-pass yield, and on-time delivery, plus the days-since-recordable safety counter against goal - on one screen. Each morning it leads with an overnight Trunnion AI briefing that surfaces cross-domain patterns from quality, maintenance, and production, and a prioritized action list that refreshes every 15 minutes. The day starts with decisions instead of chasing numbers across a dozen exports.
How does Cortrova help with environmental and ESG reporting?
The ISO 14001 module tracks environmental aspects and impacts alongside emissions, waste, and water as operational data, so EPA and ESG reporting is pulled straight from the same system that runs the floor rather than assembled by hand. Because 14001 shares the Annex SL structure with 9001, environmental evidence is maintained with the same rigor and the same audit-readiness as your quality system.
What size manufacturer is Cortrova built for, and how fast is go-live?
Cortrova is built for 10-to-500-employee industrial manufacturers, unifying seven operational areas - safety, quality, production planning, shop-floor control, maintenance, inventory, and finance - that would otherwise run in separate tools. Implementation runs 4 to 8 weeks with unlimited users on a flat annual rate, and deployment can be cloud, on-premises, or air-gapped.
