Uncap is built for the way modern manufacturers actually work, not the way legacy MRPs assume they should. ## Built for the shop floor - BOMs, routings, and revisions with full version history - Work-order management with real-time shop-floor data capture - Lot and serial tracking for quality and compliance - Demand planning that learns from your actual lead times - Uncap Capital for inventory buildups and equipment ## See Uncap for manufacturing [Book a demo](/contact) ## Frequently asked questions ### Can we sell configurable or made-to-order products on Shopify? Yes. Uncap Builder puts configuration on the storefront: rules-based options, compatibility logic, and real-time pricing. Buyers build exactly what they need, and the configuration maps to a bill of materials your team can act on. ### How do customers find the right replacement part online? Two ways, depending on your catalog. Uncap Diagrams makes exploded diagrams shoppable: buyers pinpoint the part on the schematic and check out the selection as one order. For vehicle-fitment catalogs, Uncap Garage filters everything by Year-Make-Model so buyers only see parts that fit. ### Can we keep selling through dealers while selling direct? Yes. Shopify runs B2B and B2C on one backend, and Uncap Portal runs the dealer portal: dealer-specific catalogs, pricing, and terms, plus warranty claims, rebates, and credits handled self-serve. Each channel gets its own door. The operation stays unified behind them. ### Will online orders actually reach our ERP and the shop floor? Yes. Uncap Connect syncs orders from Shopify into your ERP and production systems in real time, and pushes inventory, pricing, and fulfillment status back to the storefront. Nothing gets re-keyed. ### Does Shopify handle B2B pricing, net terms, and company accounts? Natively, on Shopify Plus. Company profiles, customer permissions, price lists, catalogs, net terms, and B2B checkout are built into the platform. Uncap extends that foundation with configuration, parts discovery, quoting, and ERP sync. ### Can we run quotes and negotiated orders through the site? Yes. Uncap Quotes runs the full configure-price-quote workflow inside Shopify: build, send, revise, negotiate, approve, and convert to an order in one step, with version history preserved. ### How long does a manufacturer migration to Shopify take? It depends on catalog complexity and integrations, which is exactly why Commerce Build is fixed scope: timeline and budget agreed before the build starts. If you want the plan validated first, Uncap Blueprint maps architecture, integrations, and total cost of ownership before you commit. ### Will our catalog work with AI shopping agents? If it is structured well on Shopify, yes. AI buying agents need machine-readable products, specs, pricing, and availability, which is exactly what a properly built Shopify catalog provides. Uncap builds catalogs that serve human buyers and AI agents from the same structured data. ### Where should a manufacturer start? Planning a move, start with Uncap Blueprint. Ready to build, start with Commerce Build. Already live, start with Managed Growth. If you are not sure which you are, that is what Talk to Our Experts is for.
