Industrial components
For manufacturers of pump, valve, compressor, hydraulic and pneumatic components, where machining and assembly end in pressure, leakage and performance testing.
Introduction
About the industrial components industry
Industrial component manufacturers produce pump, valve, compressor, hydraulic and pneumatic components and assemblies for process plants, machinery builders and infrastructure projects.
Parts are machined and assembled, then pressure, leakage and performance tested, and many customers expect test certificates with each unit.

Challenges
Challenges without industry-specific software
What industrial component manufacturers typically face when the business runs on spreadsheets, paper and disconnected tools.
- Test results and certificates are recorded on paper, separate from the units they prove.
- Assembly is held up by component shortages discovered too late.
- Machining and assembly priorities change daily without visibility of delays.
- Repeat quality issues are fixed on the floor but never traced to root cause.
Generic ERP
Where generic ERP falls short
Generic ERP is built around a clean, linear order-to-invoice flow. These are the gaps that usually push teams back to spreadsheets.
- Treats testing as a step on paper rather than a recorded result per unit.
- Offers limited traceability through multi-level assemblies.
- Plans material without early shortage visibility for assemblies.
Why Navigator
Our USP and key benefits
Navigator is customized to how industrial component manufacturers work, on a manufacturing-first core — engineering, PPC and MRP, purchasing, production, quality, maintenance and finance — shaped by customized ERP work across varied manufacturing segments since 1997. Our no-code development tool, launched in 2020, greatly speeds up that customization, so the system follows your process instead of forcing you into a generic template.
