From engineering BOMs to finance journals, every team works in the same system with role-based access and a unified view of your business.
Every department, one system — engineered for South African operations.
Vela Systems was born on the shop floor. After years of watching local manufacturers wrestle with global ERPs that didn't speak their language — VAT, SARS tax invoices, ZAR pricing, scheduling-agreement releases — we built a modern alternative that fits how SA businesses actually run.
Every workflow is designed around the daily reality of engineers, planners, buyers, operators and finance teams — not a generic global template.
Vela Assistant is built into every workspace. Ask in plain English — it executes across modules, respects your role permissions, and always confirms before writing data.
Spin up an isolated workspace for your company in under a minute. After 14 days, continue for a flat R20,000 / month — or simply walk away. No lock-in.

Engineering (parts, BOMs, ECNs, routings), Sales, Purchasing (direct & indirect with approvals), Logistics (MRP, receiving, stock), Production (works orders, QR booking), Quality (inspection plans & lots) and Finance (GL, AR/AP, payment runs).
Vela Assistant can create sales orders, production orders and POs, look up materials and stock, and render live charts — all gated by your role permissions and a propose-confirm-execute flow before any data is written.
Every tenant is isolated using row-level security in the database. Roles and approval limits control who can see and approve what, and every change is captured in the audit log.
Yes. Materials, customers, suppliers, BOMs and customer releases all support CSV templates that you can download, fill in and bulk upload.
