Mannin Systems / Bespoke by design
Built to fit your factory, not a template
Off-the-shelf systems give every business the same screens and ask you to work their way. Mannin Systems is designed from scratch around your people: the colours, the layout, the words on the buttons, and the screens themselves.
Same job. Five factories.
The same job and the same figures, shown in five systems we might build. Only the design changes, because each one is made for different people.
Six factories, six systems
A wallboard, an owner’s dashboard, a planner’s schedule, a phone on a press, an admin screen and a quality check sheet. Each is designed for the people who use it, and none of them looks like the others.
Example screens for invented companies.
What can change? Everything you see.
- Colours and branding
- Your logo and colours, or high-contrast colours chosen for the shop floor.
- Layout and density
- Four big figures for the owner, a packed planning board for the planner.
- Words and units
- Your product names, your reason codes, and metres, kilos or pieces.
- Screens and devices
- A TV on the wall, a PC in the office, a tablet on a machine or a phone in a pocket.
- The order of work
- Steps and checks in the sequence your people already follow.
- Who sees what
- Each role sees only what it needs, laid out for how that person works.
Bespoke where people touch it, engineered where it counts.

How to tell it isn’t a template
Bespoke questions
Does bespoke mean expensive?
Not here. Every system is built on the same proven core, so you pay for the design of your screens and processes rather than for reinventing the engine. Prices start from the figures on our pricing page, and the site assessment gives you a fixed price.
Can screens be changed later?
Yes. As your business changes, screens, checks and reports can change with it. Changes are agreed and priced up front, in the same fixed-price way.
Is a bespoke system harder to support?
No. The engine underneath is the same in every system, so support, updates and backups work the same way for everyone. Only what you see is unique to you.
Can it use our branding?
Yes, or the opposite if you prefer: high-contrast colours and large type chosen for the shop floor rather than the brochure.
Do we have to design it ourselves?
No. We design it with you, starting from how your people work today, and you see the screens before anything is built.
