BUS Core
Local-first manufacturing operations software for small shops.
BUS Core is free, open-source manufacturing operations software for small shops that need stronger records without enterprise ERP overhead. It connects inventory, materials, recipes, production runs, jobs, invoices, vendors, and actual cost in one local operating record.
Self-managed BUS Core runs locally on Windows or through Docker, uses portable SQLite data, requires no hosted account or subscription, and remains usable without a required cloud connection.
