Smarter Manufacturing Starts Here

Standard ERP software is an operations management platform that automates and integrates front-end and back-end business processes, such as sales and order fulfillment. Manufacturing ERP software takes that model a few steps further, integrating activities that support effortless manufacturing operations, including:

• Bill of Materials (BOM)
• Inventory Control
• Supply Chain Management
• Quality Control
• Compliance
• Reporting and Analytics

Manufacturing ERP applications unify production planning and resource management, so companies can better manage costs while optimizing inventory levels. Manufacturers use it to set production schedules and allocate material resources using bill of materials and machine utilization. More advanced ERP manufacturing systems can automatically link sales orders to jobs, automate job scheduling, link to MRP planning and get built-in traceability for reporting and analytics.

ERP job scheduling software enables manufacturers to electronically plan, prioritize and manage production jobs while aligning materials, labor and capacity to best meet delivery deadlines.
