BUS Core
Local-first manufacturing operations software for small shops.
...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. It supports FIFO batch costing, production history, local invoicing, user and role management, audit controls, and encrypted backup exports.
BUS Core is deliberately narrower than a full ERP or accounting suite. It does not provide payroll, full accounting, POS checkout, cloud synchronization, customer portals, payment links, or recurring billing.
