Manufacturing ERP Software

QT9 ERP for Manufacturing is a cloud-based enterprise resource planning system that helps manufacturers manage production, inventory, purchasing, quality and compliance within a single integrated platform.

General manufacturers face relentless pressure to deliver products on time, control costs, and scale operations without sacrificing quality or customer satisfaction. Whether you're producing automotive components, industrial equipment, electronics, consumer goods, or precision-machined parts, you need an ERP system that understands manufacturing operations—not generic business software with a manufacturing add-on.

QT9 ERP delivers purpose-built capabilities for discrete manufacturers managing complex bills of materials (BOM), multi-step production routings, inventory across multiple locations, and customer-specific configurations. From job shops and make-to-order operations to repetitive batch production and mixed-mode manufacturing, QT9 ERP provides the operational control, real-time visibility, and cost tracking required to compete and grow profitably.
