Backbone MRP Online is the cloud edition of the manufacturing platform that has run inside real factories for two decades. It brings a focused, fast-growing set of those tools online — with AI that reads customer order PDFs and builds the orders for you, and a customer portal where your customers track their own orders, shipments, and invoices.
Flagship feature
Stop retyping purchase orders. Link your own Claude (Anthropic) or ChatGPT (OpenAI) account, and Backbone MRP reads the order PDFs your customers send into an AI order worksheet. You review every line, make any corrections, and confirm — then Backbone generates the real orders and parts in your system.

Where Backbone MRP Online comes from
Online is the young, cloud-native sibling of the full Backbone MRP platform — a comprehensive Eclipse-based MRP/MES that manufacturers run internally to manage the entire factory. That system is the most advanced of its kind on Earth, and its capabilities are the roadmap we're steadily bringing online.

Backbone MRP Online handles the complex realities of getting orders out on time, then exports your invoices straight to QuickBooks Online so your accounting stays in sync — no double entry.
