CIM Software has unveiled its next-generation, cloud-native manufacturing platform Cim360.cloud, marking a major step forward in how manufacturers manage, connect, and scale their operations.
For over two decades, CIM Software has supported UK manufacturers through its renowned Cim50 and Cim200 Manufacturing solutions for Sage 50 and Sage 200. Now, the company is taking its deep manufacturing insight into the cloud era.
A new era for manufacturing software
Cim360.cloud has been built from the ground up to eliminate the traditional barriers that slow down manufacturing management. Unlike on-premise systems, it operates without servers or local databases, delivering full mobility and real-time visibility across every stage of production.
Accessible on desktop, tablet, mobile and even smartwatches, it puts critical information at your fingertips wherever work happens giving modern manufacturers genuine flexibility without sacrificing reliability or performance.
Connected Manufacturing in action
At the heart of Cim360.cloud lies the concept of Connected Manufacturing, the idea that operational systems should integrate seamlessly with wider business tools. Modern manufacturers no longer operate in isolation. Alongside financial systems, they rely on e-commerce platforms, logistics partners, fulfilment providers and a growing array of third-party cloud applications. Cim360.cloud has been built with this in mind, offering open integrations and a full API to create deeper connections across every area of a business.
This approach allows manufacturers to achieve a unified view of their operations, with consistent, reliable information flowing effortlessly between systems. It’s this ability to connect, not just compute, which makes Cim360.cloud a genuine innovation in the manufacturing software market.
Intelligent modules, real results
Cim360.cloud includes a comprehensive suite of modules developed to give manufacturers control, precision, and scalability:
- Inventory management: Real-time tracking to improve accuracy and reduce waste
- Bill of materials: Standardised production with built-in quality control
- Works orders: Complete visibility over production and work in progress
- Planning: Just-in-time scheduling for maximum efficiency
- Order processing: Integrated POP/SOP for seamless order fulfilment
- Graphical scheduler: Intuitive visual planning tools
- Mobile connectivity: Barcode scanning, updates, and reporting directly from smart devices
Each module has been reimagined for the cloud, combining CIM Software’s trusted functionality with modern usability and speed.
Designed for integration, built for growth
One of Cim360.cloud’s biggest strengths is its flexibility. While CIM Software’s earlier products were tightly integrated with Sage accounting, the new platform connects with any modern cloud-based accounting system. This makes it accessible to a far wider market, from start-ups to established manufacturers seeking a more open, connected environment.
Cim360.cloud is available through a tiered subscription model, allowing businesses to start with the essentials and expand as their requirements grow. Each tier offers additional functionality, user capacity, and support, making scalability both simple and predictable.
Building on proven foundations
CIM Software’s Managing Director explained the motivation behind the platform’s creation, “Cim50 and Cim200 have long provided Sage users with reliable, integrated manufacturing solutions. But how manufacturers want to work has changed. Teams now expect real-time access from anywhere, on any device, and the freedom to connect their operational data with the wider cloud services they rely on. Cim360.cloud is our answer to that change combining our trusted capability with a cloud-native design that reflects how businesses operate today.”
This forward-thinking approach has been shaped by years of real-world manufacturing experience and ongoing collaboration with partners across the UK. The company has also established a dedicated Partner Program to help resellers and consultants expand into cloud-based manufacturing, offering recurring revenue opportunities, co-marketing support, and a partner success team.
The road ahead
Following the announcement, CIM Software has committed to sharing regular development updates, including:
- Early module walkthroughs and feature demonstrations
- Innovations in scheduling, traceability, and stock control
- Insights into the company’s design and development process
These updates will provide transparency into the platform’s evolution, as well as showcase the technology’s ability to adapt to the ever-changing needs of manufacturers.
Setting a new standard
Cim360.cloud represents more than just a software release; it marks a new direction for manufacturing technology. By combining CIM Software’s proven track record with cutting-edge cloud architecture, the platform empowers manufacturers to embrace the future with confidence.
Whether a business is small, growing, or well established, Cim360.cloud delivers a single, scalable solution that unites teams, systems, and data in one connected environment.
As CIM Software continues its development journey, one thing is clear: Cim360.cloud isn’t just built for today’s manufacturers, it’s designed for the future of connected manufacturing.
CIM Software will be showcasing Cim360.cloud at Southern Manufacturing & Electronics 2026, offering live demonstrations and expert discussions on how connected manufacturing can transform production efficiency. Visit us at the event on Stand: E240!
