Building products manufacturing software, backed by the run.

A strength result hops from rig to sheet to DoP template to CE label, and every hop can mis-declare a performance a specifier is relying on. Bulk captures it once, and the Declaration of Performance leaves with the load.

Where Bulk fits best.

Concrete being poured into a precast mould on a factory floor

Batches that carry a CE mark

Declare the performance you measured, so the mark is backed by the run.

Operator loading bagged cement beside a batching plant hopper

Raw lots you must answer for

Cement, aggregate and admixture lots tie to the batch from the mixer.

Technician placing a concrete cube in a compression testing rig

A notified body at the door

Surveillance evidence assembles as work happens, not the week before the visit.

An ERP you want to keep

Bulk holds the factory's compliance record between the line and your accounts.

From batch to Declaration of Performance, one thread.

Log the batch

Goods-in ties the cement, aggregate and admixture lots to the batch; nobody re-types.

Today's reality: built on paper.

  • DoPs, rebuilt by hand

    Every hop from rig to CE label can mis-declare a performance.

  • FPC audit scramble

    A week lost in binders proving the FPC held all year.

  • Batch traceability gaps

    Linking a batch to its cement lots and sites is a trawl.

  • Batch & lot traceability

    Mixer to site on one thread, ready for a recall or a query.

    Data thread

  • Factory Production Control

    Routine checks sequenced and enforced; sign-off waits on every one.

    Production

  • Test results & conformity

    Strength and density captured once; out-of-tolerance readings raised on the spot.

    Quality

  • DoP & CE/UKCA generation

    The DoP builds itself from the batch record, out in minutes.

    Documents

  • FPC audit evidence

    Surveillance evidence already assembled on one queryable thread, not in binders.

    Audits

  • Production scheduling

    Plan runs against moulds and mixers; give a contractor a real date.

The DoP ships with the load.

Questions, answered.

01

Is Bulk a building products ERP?

No, and that's deliberate. An ERP wants your whole business re-platformed; Bulk runs the factory floor and its records: batch traceability, Factory Production Control, test results, the Declaration of Performance and the CE/UKCA certificate. Keep your ERP or accounts system. Most makers our size are replacing spreadsheets and binders, not their finance stack.

02

How does Bulk handle CE/UKCA marking and Declarations of Performance?

The DoP and certificate assemble themselves from the production record: batch, declared performances, test results and the harmonised-standard reference. Because every value is captured at source under the Construction Products Regulation, the declaration matches what actually happened on the line, and re-issuing after a change is a click, not a rebuild.

03

Does it cover Factory Production Control under our EN standard?

Yes. Bulk holds the FPC plan for your product and standard (EN 13369, EN 771, EN 14351-1 or whichever applies) and drives it on the line: routine tests, tolerances, calibrations and non-conformities logged as work happens. It's configured to your AVCP system, whether that's a self-declared 4 or a notified-body 2+.

04

Can it trace a batch back to raw-material lots for a recall?

Every run is tied to its incoming lots (cement, aggregate, admixture, components) and forward to the destinations it shipped to. A suspect batch traces both ways in a couple of clicks, so a containment or a customer query takes minutes, not a day in the archive.

05

Does Bulk replace our accounts or ERP system?

No. Bulk is the layer between the floor and the back office: production, quality and compliance records. Invoicing can draw from the same batch and delivery data, but your accounts platform stays. This is the traceability and compliance layer without the rip-and-replace.

06

How long does rollout take, and what does it cost?

One product line end to end first (batch to DoP), proven on real runs in weeks, then the rest of the range follows the same pattern; never a big-bang cutover. Pricing is one per-site figure with every module included, no per-module upsell, hosting and rollout in the number. Early-access makers work directly with the build team.
