One connected system for toy parts, moulds, decoration, assembly and buyer orders.
Item trees, mould and cavity use, ABS and polypropylene granule lots, Pantone paint lots, pad printing passes, assembly counts, EN 71 safety tests, carton packing and buyer orders share one system. Each carton carries the lots behind its parts, the drop and torque report that cleared it and the packing list that ships it. Planners see mould clashes before a Christmas schedule is issued.
- Item codes, parts lists and mould register entered as your planners keep them
- Open buyer orders and stock of parts migrated
- Changes to item trees and test steps handled by GullySystem staff when asked
Moulding, pad printing, assembly and carton packing for toys all sit in Toy Manufacturer Management Software, configured by GullySystem for each factory. It holds mould shot counts, item trees, granule and paint lots, assembly counts and buyer orders. Each carton links back to the lots and the test report behind it, and a packing list leaves with every shipment.
What goes wrong before the software.
How the work flows through it, step by step.
- 1
Buyer order
An order arrives by item code with a ship window, carton marking and blister card artwork. It is entered once and split into the parts, decoration and packing it needs.
- 2
Plan and material
Press time is planned by mould and colour, with hopper dryer time and masterbatch ready. Purchase requests go out for granule, paint, button cells and corrugated cartons that stock cannot cover.
- 3
Moulding and soft parts
Operators record shots and rejects by cavity. Plush shells, stuffing fibre and fabric items are issued to cutting and sewing lines, or to outside units with a count sent.
- 4
Decoration and assembly
Pad printing, spray painting and decal passes are logged by lot. Assembly lines record finished pieces by hour and note the missing screw or axle that holds a line.
- 5
Test and release
Sample tests are entered against the lot. A lot that fails the pull test is held for rework or scrap. One that passes moves on to packing, carrying its test report.
- 6
Pack and ship
Cartons are packed to the packing list, shipping marked to the buyer’s specification and counted. Paperwork for the container is raised from the buyer order itself.
What is inside.
Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.
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
Every toy is held as a tree of moulded, soft and bought out parts with its artwork revision, so the line builds from the current list.
- Batch and Serial Tracking
Granule and colour lots are received with a number and linked forward to the moulded batches that consumed them.
- Production Planning
Open orders are laid against press, decoration and assembly capacity, and shared mould clashes appear before a schedule is released.
- Work Order Management
A press run opens against an item and mould, collects shots and rejects by shift, and closes with the good count.
- Quality Control
Drop, pull and torque results attach to a lot, and a failed sample places that lot on hold until quality staff decide.
- Job Work Management
Panels and parts sent to embroidery, stuffing or painting units are counted out and in, with short returns flagged.
- Order Management
Orders are split into cartons by item code and ship window, then tracked from confirmation to packed quantity.
- Barcodes and Labels
Carton labels and item barcodes print to each buyer’s marking specification straight from the packing list.
How we would put it in.
Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.
One system, each person sees their part.
For factory owners
See orders by buyer and ship window, parts short on each line, cartons on hold and parts out with painting and embroidery units.
For planners
Book presses by mould and colour, check hopper dryer time, and move an item when a shared tool clashes.
For toolroom staff
Read shot counts by cavity and book polishing or ejector repair before a mould is due.
For moulding and assembly supervisors
Enter shots, rejects and finished counts on a tablet at the line, and see which screw or wheel is short.
For the quality desk
Record sample test results, place a lot on hold and release it with the report attached.
The numbers the owner asks for.
- Shots and rejects by mould, cavity and shift
- Mould service due, by shot count
- Granule and paint lots consumed against moulded and decorated batches
- Parts out with embroidery and painting units, by delivery note and age
- Assembly output and short screws, wheels and decals by line
- Drop, pull and torque results and lots on hold
- Open buyer orders against packed cartons and ship window
Who this is built for.
- Plants that injection mould plastic toys and figures
- Factories that assemble toys from moulded, soft and electronic parts
- Soft toy makers with cutting, sewing and stuffing lines
- Makers of educational kits, puzzles and wooden toys
- Toy exporters who pack to a buyer’s carton marking
When it is not the right choice.
- A small workshop that hand makes a few toy lines can manage with a notebook and photographs.
- Plants whose main work is general plastic moulding for other industries will find Injection Moulding Company Management Software closer.

Questions owners ask before a demo.
Can one toy have parts made in several places?
Yes. Each item tree lists moulded, plush, outside painted and bought out parts. Their lots and counts feed one assembly batch.
How are moulds with several cavities handled?
The register keeps shots per cavity and notes a blocked cavity. Weight per shot is compared with the standard set for the item.
Can we record colour changes on a press?
Yes. A colour change is logged with the purging compound used and time lost, so the planner sees its cost when ordering the next runs.
What happens when a sample fails a test?
The lot goes on hold at once. Quality staff choose rework, retest or scrap, and cartons from that lot cannot be released until the status changes.
Do buyers get their own carton labels?
Yes. Each buyer can have its own marking and packing list layout, set up at the start and printed from the order.
Does it handle battery operated and electronic toys?
Yes. Circuit boards, button cells and wiring harnesses appear as bought out parts on the tree, with their receipt lots and any functional check recorded.
Can our current parts and orders be loaded?
Yes. Your part numbers, bills of material, mould cards and buyer orders are imported. Planners tick off the imported lists first.
Can the system show the cost to make an item?
It shows granule, paint, labour hours and outside process cost against the item, using the rates you supply. Costing rules are agreed during set up.
Who owns the production records?
You do. Before work starts, the proposal states how lot, shot count and test report data can be exported.
How do we see a price?
Price is shaped by how many plants and assembly lines you run and who needs a login. We demonstrate with a toy from your range, and only then do you get a quote.
