GullySystem
Automotive · Auto Manufacturer Management Software

One connected system for variant bills of materials, build orders, station records, end-of-line tests and dealer dispatch.

Run a vehicle assembly operation from one record per unit. Planning releases build orders against variant bills of materials. Stores and suppliers deliver parts by lot. Operators record torque, fitments and part labels at each station. Testers log end-of-line results, rework is tracked to a cause, and finished vehicles are dispatched to dealers with their documents, ready for warranty and recall follow-up.

  • Variants, stations, test sheets and supplier lists entered as your line runs
  • Part masters, bills of materials and open orders migrated
  • Changes to checklists and test sheets handled by GullySystem staff when asked

GullySystem configures this for vehicle assemblers, from low-volume body builders to full assembly plants. Planners, stores, line supervisors, testers, quality staff and dispatch work from one record per vehicle. It holds the build order, variant parts, supplier lots, station readings, end-of-line results, dispatch and any warranty claim raised later.

Where it breaks today

What goes wrong before the software.

Variant bills of materials drift

Trim, engine, colour and market options multiply. Each model has its own spreadsheet, and the kit for a unit is built from whichever copy a planner opened.

Supplier lots are not tied to vehicles

Stores know what arrived and the line knows what was fitted. Nobody links a batch to the units that carry it.

Station records are on paper

Torque values, fitment ticks and part labels are written on a sheet that travels with the vehicle and is filed after dispatch.

End-of-line failures vanish into rework

A unit fails a brake or leak test and moves to a bay. The reason, the fix and the retest are not recorded in one place.

Engineering changes have no cut-in point

A design change is approved without a unit number from which it applies. Old and new parts run side by side.

Dealer allocation is negotiated by phone

Finished units wait in the yard while sales staff and dealers agree who gets what. Dispatch notes are typed from a list.

How it runs

How the work flows through it, step by step.

  1. 1

    Order and plan

    Dealer and fleet orders are grouped by variant and market. Planning assigns build orders to weekly slots and checks part availability.

  2. 2

    Kit and release

    Stores issue kits per station against the variant bill of materials. A build order is released only when its shortages are cleared or accepted.

  3. 3

    Body, paint and assembly

    Each stage records its start, finish and checks against the identification number. Part lot labels are scanned as parts are fitted.

  4. 4

    End-of-line test

    A tester records brake, lamp, emission and leak readings. A pass moves the unit to certification and a fail routes it to rework.

  5. 5

    Rework and release

    Rework logs the cause, the part replaced and the retest. A released unit is certified and parked for allocation.

  6. 6

    Dispatch and aftersales

    Units are allocated to dealer orders and dispatched with documents. Warranty claims and recalls return to the same unit record.

Modules

What is inside.

Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.

Variant parts master and bills of materials

Hold each part with its drawing revision and supplier, and build variant bills of materials by model, trim, engine and market.

Build orders and slot planning

Convert dealer orders into build orders, place them in weekly slots and show which parts are short before release.

Supplier schedules and part approval

Send delivery schedules to suppliers, record first-article approval for new parts and rate supplier delivery and quality.

Goods inward and lot inspection

Receive parts against orders, hold critical lots for inspection and release them to stores with a lot number.

Station kitting and line feed

Issue kits per station for each unit and replenish line-side bins against a minimum, so no station waits on a seat or a harness.

Station checks and torque records

Record fitments, torque values and scanned part labels at each station and hold the unit if a reading is out of range.

Paint and body shop stages

Log body welds, sealer, primer, colour coat and cure steps per unit, with film readings and any defects found.

End-of-line test and certification

Capture brake, lamp, emission, alignment and leak results, and issue the unit’s test certificate when every reading passes.

Rework and defect tracking

Route failed units to a rework bay, note the defect code, the cause and the fix, and see which stations raise the most defects.

Engineering change control

Raise a change, approve it and attach the unit number from which it applies, so stores and stations switch together.

Dealer allocation and dispatch

Allocate finished units to dealer orders, issue dispatch documents with the identification number and follow units in transit.

Warranty and recall traceability

Find every unit that carries a given part lot or build week, and follow each warranty claim to the cause and the supplier.

Solutions inside

The business modules it is built from.

Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.

  • Bill of Materials

    Each model, trim, engine and market gets its own bill of materials, and a build order reads only the parts that variant needs.

  • Production Planning

    Dealer orders become build orders in weekly slots, and parts that are short for a slot are shown before the order is released.

  • Work Order Management

    Each unit carries a work order through body, paint and assembly stations, and an operator closes a station only after its checks are recorded.

  • Batch and Serial Tracking

    Part lots and identification numbers are linked at fitment, so a faulty batch returns the units that carry it without reading line sheets.

  • Quality Control

    Brake, lamp, emission and leak readings are compared to limits, and a failed reading sends the unit to rework instead of the yard.

  • Goods Receipt (GRN)

    Deliveries are matched to the order, critical lots are held for inspection and only released lots become available to stores.

  • Vendor Management

    Each supplier record holds its parts, first-article approvals, delivery history and rejection count, so schedules go to those who have earned them.

  • Workflow and Approvals

    A change moves through design, quality and purchase approval, and stays blocked from the line until each sign-off is recorded.

Services

How we would put it in.

Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.

Who uses it

One system, each person sees their part.

For production planners

Turn orders into build orders and slots, and see shortages before the order reaches the line.

For stores and purchase staff

Receive deliveries by lot, issue kits to stations and chase suppliers against the schedule.

For line supervisors and operators

Read each unit’s instructions on the station screen and record torque, fitments and part labels.

For quality and test staff

Run end-of-line sheets, hold suspect lots, manage rework and answer a recall query by lot.

For dispatch and sales administration

Allocate units to dealers, print documents and track what has left the yard.

Reports

The numbers the owner asks for.

  • Build orders by variant against slot plan
  • Parts short for release by variant
  • Supplier delivery and lot rejection history
  • Station defects and torque exceptions
  • End-of-line first-pass results by unit
  • Rework causes by station and supplier
  • Units allocated and in transit by dealer
Good fit

Who this is built for.

  • Assemblers of cars, vans and light trucks
  • Bus, coach and specialist vehicle builders
  • Makers of electric vehicles in modest volumes
  • Body builders fitting bodies to bought-in chassis
  • Plants with several variants on one line
Honest answer

When it is not the right choice.

  • A maker of one vehicle a month, built by one team from a drawing, can run on a drawing register and a stock sheet.
  • A plant that needs machine-level control of robots and conveyors will want line control equipment, which this does not replace.
Made to fit

Adapted to your business before it goes live.

You are not handed a login and left to it. The product is set up around your records, your people and the tools you already use.

Your variants and options

Models, trims, engines and market options follow the naming your sales desk and product engineers already use.

Your stations and checks

The stations on your line, their checks and their torque limits become the screens operators see.

Your test sheet

End-of-line readings and pass limits follow your own test procedure and the certificate your market asks for.

Part and order data migrated

Part masters, bills of materials, supplier lists and open orders are lifted from the files you keep now, and your engineers and buyers review the load first.

Hosting and changes

GullySystem hosts the system. When a checklist, test sheet or controlled document needs amending, you ask and GullySystem staff make the change.

Common questions

Questions owners ask before a demo.

Can it follow a recall to the exact vehicles?

Yes. Part lot labels are recorded at the station against the identification number, so a faulty lot returns the list of units that received it.

How are variants kept apart on one line?

Each build order carries its own variant bill of materials. Kits, station instructions and checks follow the order, not the model name.

Does it read torque tools and test benches?

Where a tool or bench can send or export readings, it is linked in implementation. Otherwise the operator or tester enters them on a station screen.

Can a unit be held if a reading is out of range?

Yes. A torque value or test result outside its limit holds the unit and raises a rework entry with the station and the reading.

How does engineering change control work?

A change names the part, the revision and the unit number from which it applies. Stores and stations switch at that number, not on a date.

Can we manage supplier approval of new parts?

Yes. A new part carries its first-article status, and goods inward blocks release of lots until the approval is recorded.

Can dealers see where their orders stand?

A dealer login can show allocation, dispatch and delivery documents for its own units. It does not show anything about other dealers.

Can it handle bodies fitted to bought-in chassis?

Yes. The chassis arrives as a unit with its own number, and the body build order is recorded against it.

How would our part and bill of materials data get in?

Send the part masters and bills of materials you keep. Columns are mapped to the part and variant records, and your engineers review the load with us.

What would it cost a vehicle plant?

Variants, stations, users and the equipment to connect all move the figure. You first watch a demonstration on your own models, then receive a quotation.

Wondering what it costs? Six questions give you a written scope and the buckets any quote should separate.
