What SQLWorks is

SQLWorks is an integrated business platform combining manufacturing, accounting, customer relationship management, and stock control for small to medium-sized businesses and organisations. Manufacturing tools cover multi-level bills of material, works orders, process routing, and production scheduling. Material Requirements Planning forecasts component needs from sales and works-order demand and can create draft purchase and works orders. Accounting includes sales and purchase ledgers, multi-currency accounting, VAT, financial analysis, and reporting. Through an HMRC API integration, it can submit VAT returns and access VAT obligations, payments, and liabilities. SQLWorks supports data connectors to other business applications, with integration work handled by Lineal Software Solutions’ development team. User and group permissions are available, with group settings overriding individual settings. The platform lists an audit trail and cloud backup. Lineal says the software is independently audited and UKAS-accredited for ISO 9001 and ISO 27001. It provides UK-based support and can tailor systems for industry-specific requirements. The listed plan costs £37 per user per month.
