FarmFlow: local-first ERP for 3D printing farms

Problem

1. Manual production management: order statuses jump between spreadsheets, slicers and marketplaces.
2. No margin visibility: most operators cannot measure profit per print hour accurately.
3. Logistics friction: shipping data and labels are still copied by hand.
4. IP risk: confidential B2B STL files should not live in public cloud systems.

Solution

• Pricing & Costing: material, electricity, labor, depreciation, setup and net margin per print.
• Orders & Sales Pipeline: multi-channel orders become production tasks in a kanban workflow.
• One-click logistics: carrier labels generated directly from the order.
• Customer Portal: planned B2B self-service quoting and production tracking.

Market

3D printing services are moving from hobby work into micro-manufacturing, spare parts, prototyping and niche production. Every farm above five printers eventually hits an organizational wall that spreadsheets and manual office work cannot scale through.

Competitive Edge

• Local-first architecture: fast workflows, CAD privacy and offline production-floor reliability.
• Compliance-first: ready for local tax systems, marketplaces and carrier ecosystems.
• Poland as a benchmark: KSeF, JPK, IP Box, Allegro and InPost prove the platform against a demanding market.
