Hosted Desktop for Manufacturing & Engineering

Hosted desktops for manufacturers — office and shop floor on one system.

From small engineering shops to multi-site manufacturers, we host a secure desktop environment for your business — ERP, MRP, job costing, CAD viewers and accounts in one place for the office, the shop floor and the road.

What manufacturing and engineering firms are usually trying to fix

Common problems

  • ERP or MRP running on a server in a dusty corner of the unit
  • The shop floor working from printed job sheets because the system only exists in the office
  • Sales reps and site engineers with no live access to stock, pricing or drawings
  • Different sites running different versions of the same software
  • One person who “knows the server” and a problem when they’re on holiday

How a hosted desktop helps

  • ERP and MRP move to managed, backed-up UK infrastructure — the dusty server retires
  • Shop-floor terminals log into the same live system as the office
  • Reps and engineers get live stock, pricing and documents from a laptop or tablet anywhere
  • Every site runs one centrally managed version
  • We run the platform — no single point of human failure inside the business

10–50 users

Growing manufacturers

Office, shop floor and field staff all working from the same live ERP, with access structured by role.

50–100+ users

Multi-site operations

One platform across every site, sized for your production peaks and ready for the next facility.

What you're actually getting

Your ERP and business software, hosted centrally

We install and configure your ERP, MRP, job costing and accounts software inside the environment, checking licensing terms during scoping.

Shop floor included

Simple terminals or existing PCs on the floor connect to the same environment — job status, drawings and works orders live, not printed.

Honest about heavy CAD

2D CAD, viewers and document control run well on standard desktops. Heavy 3D modelling and simulation need GPU-backed resources, which we scope and price separately rather than pretend otherwise.

UK-based support

Support from the engineers who run the platform — because a down ERP stops the line, not just the office.

Hosted desktop questions from manufacturers

What is a hosted desktop for a manufacturing business?

It's a full Windows desktop for office, shop-floor and field staff, running in a UK datacentre rather than on a server at the unit. ERP, MRP, job costing and design tools live in one secure, centrally managed environment everyone shares.

Can you host our ERP or MRP system?

Server-based ERP and MRP is a natural fit for hosted desktops, and we scope your specific system, version and any machine or label-printer integrations before quoting rather than assume.

Can CAD run on it?

2D CAD, viewers and document control run well on standard hosted desktops. Heavy 3D work — large assemblies, simulation, rendering — needs GPU-backed resources, which we scope and price separately.

What about the shop floor?

Existing PCs or low-cost terminals on the floor connect to the same environment as the office, so operators see live works orders and drawings instead of yesterday's printouts.
