ERP tool for Manufacturing Companies

Pros

  • Materials or purchasing module is good
  • Accounting and milestone payments are easy to use
  • Purchases are very detailed, and we can see when any line item has been ordered or received

Cons

  • Scheduling module - we had initially expected this ERP system to handle the scheduling part for us, but it is not easy to do customization to the extent needed for us.
  • Technical or the implementation team support can be improved, as it is not up to the standard.
  • Not well suited for Engineer to Order / custom product manufacturing companies.

Return on Investment

  • We had to spend lot of time and effort in making it work for our company.
  • Scheduling still needs to be fixed, we are trying beta version of the system now.
