ERP for Manufacturing
Digitize your supply chain management from ordering raw materials to selling products with an ERP for manufacturing. Optimize your production process, maintain optimal inventory and gain more from your products while maintaining high quality standards.
Challenges in manufacturing
Manufacturing companies face significant challenges in computerisation.
Fluctuations in demand make it difficult to order the right amount of raw materials, making it impossible to maintain optimal stock.
The complexity of programming in production is constantly increasing, with the constant addition of new codes.
At the same time, they must manage relationships with suppliers, partners and customers, and ensure effective communication.
Upper management needs detailed, live information on the performance of each part of the production process so that they can always make informed decisions.
And on top of that, they must remain compliant with European Union regulations on production and safety.
Critical features for manufacturing software
It is important to choose a modern ERP that fully meets the needs of your industry. Some key features that a software for manufacturing should have:
Demand Forecasting
Predict in a few minutes the demand for thousands of products and their variations (e.g. colour, size, etc.) and order the corresponding quantities of materials.
Purchase management
Stay informed about your suppliers’ prices and discounts. Negotiate more effectively by leveraging relevant KPIs (e.g. average payback time), track expected arrival date and assess the quality of deliveries.
Specifications
Fully standardize your production by recording the detailed specifications of all products. Match raw materials to the products they produce and allocate resources to the different phases of production.
Production planning
Produce the exact quantity you need. Create production orders according to specifications and route the production of the necessary co-products/by-products.
Production management
Gain a complete picture of production performance and costs. Issue documents for the products produced, automate the production and consumption of semi-finished products and monitor waste.
Costing
Monitor in detail the cost allocation to different resources and make informed decisions on suppliers, human resources and raw materials.
Sales management
Manage your sales from ordering to invoicing and shipping in an integrated way. Formulate complex pricing policies, track supplies and automate customer notification of shipment progress.
Warehouse management
View the actual stock at any time. Track storage locations in different warehouses and manage cost prices with different methods (annual average, FIFO, monthly, last purchase price).
IoT integration
Connect your ERP to IoT devices to collect production-related data. Automate quality control and minimize defective products.
Detailed reporting
View all useful KPIs related to production and supply chain and make smart decisions that improve performance.
AI capabilities
Automate document entry (purchases and sales) with the help of artificial intelligence. Speed up entries and reduce errors and costs.
Communication with partners
Improve communication with partners through modern B2B Portals, fully connected to the ERP.
