Transform Manufacturing with Smarter ERP

Today’s smart ERP platforms centralize manufacturing, inventory, purchasing, sales and financial records with real-time analytics. Data is shared across the system and, what’s more, actions are triggered by connected applications. For instance, low inventory levels can automatically trigger purchase orders, and orders can be automatically linked to job scheduling, shipping and invoicing. 

A comprehensive manufacturing ERP system includes all of the basic ERP applications, but adds those that enable manufacturers to work smarter, including: 

• Bill of Materials (BOM) 
• Shop floor management 
• Inventory control 
• Supply chain management 
• Quality management 
• Compliance management 
• Reporting and analytics

Once implemented, manufacturing ERP software can deliver substantial benefits that go beyond the simple automation of tasks. Some of the most significant advantages include: 

• Efficiency and productivity 
• Greater accuracy and less downtime 
• Customer satisfaction 
• Improved brand position 
• Built-in audit trail 
• Compliance tracking for standards like ISO 9001 

ERP costs vary depending on the size of your business, specific needs and platform required. There are a wide variety of pricing packages available from ERP software vendors as well. Important factors to be aware of include: 

• Cloud-based vs. on-premise: Cloud-based ERP delivery is generally more affordable and eliminates the need for dedicated on-site resources.

• Licensing structure: There are a variety of licensing models used by ERP software vendors. Be sure you know how many users are covered by a license and what type of access plans are available. Some vendors offer read-only access at a discount.  

• Additional fees: Be sure you ask about any other extra costs, such as for training, implementation or data transfer.
