MRP for Xero, QuickBooks, Sage and Shopify

Make your manufacturing faster and smoother.
Using the data you already have.

Dream MRP reads sales and inventory data from your Xero, QuickBooks, Sage or Shopify account, calculates your requirements and creates purchase and work orders.

Nothing to migrate. Start with a read-only connection, see the plan from your own data, then decide. It writes nothing back until you say so.

Hand-drawn sketch of a small company MRP system: orders and stock come in from the user's other systems, Dream MRP plans the purchase and work orders, runs hands free if wanted, shows work on the workshop wall, and sends approved purchase orders to suppliers

One per product to make, exploded from your bills of materials. Open the ones you want to start.

counted / untracked
Untracked items, still counted

Items you do not track in Xero, QuickBooks, Sage or Shopify are still in the plan, so you see the whole requirement before tracking is switched on.

Automatically sent 0, opened 0: you decide how much runs by itself, from nothing, as here, to purchase orders sent and work orders opened without you.

Problem statement

Never miss a purchase order
because you were busy.

Most small resellers and manufacturers track stock with spreadsheets, memory, and instinct. It works — until it doesn't. A missed reorder here, an unexpected job there, and suddenly you're paying overnight delivery charges and explaining delays to your best customer.

Dream MRP connects to the data you already have in Xero, QuickBooks, Sage or Shopify and calculates exactly what you need. Automatically.

Avoid common failure modes
  • 01 Chasing suppliers the day before production starts
  • 02 Your reorder spreadsheet is always slightly out of date
  • 03 Someone ordered more of something you already had
  • 04 Your team calls you all the time to check on materials
  • 05 You're doing the mental maths on the drive home
  • 06 A big order lands and you have no idea if you can fulfil it

Dream MRP handles all of this automatically — no manual checking, no guesswork.

FAQ

The things people
actually ask us.

What is MRP, exactly?
Material Requirements Planning calculates what materials you need, based on your live sales, purchase and work orders and existing stock levels. Dream MRP automates this so you're not doing it manually in a spreadsheet.
Why is Dream MRP special?
Dream MRP uses the simple inventory tracking features that are available in Xero, QuickBooks, Sage or Shopify so that you don't have to implement a new inventory control system. Dream MRP also presents information of requirements for untracked items so you can see where your business is going even if some items are not tracked. Dream MRP allows you to fully automate purchase and work orders to the extent that suits you.
How does it connect to Xero, QuickBooks, Sage or Shopify?
Xero, QuickBooks, Sage and Shopify all provide an official API for integrating to their systems; you authorise the connection in a few clicks. Dream MRP reads your inventory, contacts, purchases, and sales orders or accepted quotes. Approved purchase orders are posted back to Xero or QuickBooks (QuickBooks this is version dependent). Sage Accounting has no purchase orders, so Dream MRP emails them to your suppliers and closes them when the purchase invoice is entered in Sage. Completing work orders updates product inventory in Xero, QuickBooks, Shopify and Sage Accounting Plus (Sage Standard has no stock to update). Post backs do not happen if you are in read-only connection.
Is this AI?
No. Dream MRP is based on deterministic algorithms designed by engineers with decades of manufacturing experience. AI is not suitable for exact calculations. AI can be used to read the status of your factory from Dream MRP using the appropriate tools.
Can I try it for free?
14 days on the Premium plan, no credit card required. A read-only connection is available during the trial, so nothing is written to your accounts until you choose. No lock-in, no cancellation fees.
How hard is it to set up?
There is no ERP or inventory system to implement, so compared with those Dream MRP is ridiculously easy to set up. Most users are connected and running their first MRP calculation on the same day. If you are a manufacturer, you do need to have your Bills of Materials available in a spreadsheet, in column format, as you would for implementing any other system.
Do I have to replace my existing systems?
No. Dream MRP adds MRP to the tools you already use, with no ERP and no new inventory system. It uses the existing inventory tracking features in Xero, QuickBooks, Sage or Shopify for any items that are tracked. It reads from Xero, QuickBooks, Sage or Shopify and posts approved purchase orders back to Xero, and to QuickBooks depending on the version. For Sage Accounting, which has no purchase orders of its own, they live in Dream MRP. Your existing accounting and inventory setup stays exactly as it is.
Is my live data safe?
Yes. Switch on a No Risk Read-Only connection and Dream MRP writes nothing back to your accounts: purchase orders are not posted to Xero or QuickBooks, and stock quantities in Xero, QuickBooks, Sage and Shopify are not updated at work order completion. Read-only is ideal for the trial and suits some businesses long term.
