You can **build a production management system without a developer** by starting from ready templates or your current spreadsheets, modeling quotes, production orders, materials, machines, quality and shipping as connected tables and automating repetitive steps with no-code rules.

In **Jestor**, you can also describe your process in text and let the **AI** app builder create the first version.

## Why do small manufacturers need their own system?

Small factories and workshops run many processes: quotes, orders, BOMs, purchasing, machines, quality, maintenance and shipping. Large systems are expensive and rigid.

Spreadsheets and chat groups fill the gap, but information gets lost between teams.

Every change depends on someone who knows the spreadsheet.

## What problems does a no-code production system solve?

- Processes scattered across spreadsheets
- Dependence on developers or one spreadsheet expert
- No single view of orders and production
- Data retyped between sales, production and shipping
- Systems that do not fit the factory's way of working

## How does Jestor work as an AI tool for operations teams in SMBs?

Jestor brings data, automation and **AI** together so **SMB** operations teams can run their processes in one place. AI agents answer customers on **WhatsApp**, the Image Reader (**OCR**) reads documents and labels and Chat with Data answers questions about the operation.
