A Next-Generation ERP System based on Open-Source Technology
Small to medium-sized manufacturers face many of the same challenges as larger companies. A single day of activities involves schedules and deadlines, complex manufacturing processes, negotiations with vendors and responses to customer requests. Cash management, increased plant efficiency and streamlined business processes are critical to running an effective manufacturing operation.
In order to meet these challenges, companies need an ERP system that can help them run their businesses and provide them with the critical information they need to make decisions and help their businesses grow and thrive. They need a system that can support multiple manufacturing techniques, that is inexpensive to implement and maintain, and that is based on modern technology to make it easy to use and work with other systems in place.
Activant OpenERP™ is a powerful, extendable and flexible next-generation ERP solution. It has a clean and simple user interface that hides a robust and feature-rich environment that rivals ERP systems that cost many times more to purchase, deploy and maintain. The system can easily be integrated with a wide variety of standards based technologies including legacy applications, shop floor and warehouse automation hardware, business intelligence tools and other application specific platforms. Consider the following benefits to implementing Activant’s OpenERP solution for manufacturers:
Real-Time Control Management - OpenERP automates the entire supply chain process, from ordering raw materials to manufacturing to shipping. These functions are supported by integrated financial applications that handle accounts receivable, accounts payable and general ledger. This level of control means that at any moment, you have the information necessary to redirect resources, respond to customer inquiries, or guarantee a shipment, at the touch of a button.
Visibility - With integration across the supply chain you can identify key bottlenecks, understand the important cost drivers, and know where every order is in the process. Make decisions based on facts, not guesswork.
Financial Control - Your business needs to operate effectively and efficiently. OpenERP supports your systems by productively managing inventory, it provides financial reports to manage cash flow, and accurately tracks lead times to orders to reduce costly last minute shipping costs. OpenERP helps you understand and manage your financial operations in real time, with up-to-date, accurate information.
Integration with the Industry - With OpenERP, you can build a strong partnership with your suppliers, distributors and consumers. It will optimize you internal processes, improve your integration, and support your business relationships.
