The BIS Manakonline Platform has specific benefits and implications for small and micro manufacturers who represent a large portion of BIS licence holders.

Benefits for Small Manufacturers

• Simplified digital workflows reduce paperwork burden disproportionately affecting small manufacturers
• Self-service portal: manage own licences online without visiting BIS offices
• Real-time application status — no more calling BIS offices for updates
• Digital certificates: instant download — no waiting for physical certificates
• Automated renewal reminders before licence expiry — preventing accidental lapses

Challenges

• Digital literacy requirements — some rural manufacturers may need assistance
• Transition period disruption — adapting to new processes
