The ERP Enterprise Difference

Unlike other ERP systems, ERP Enterprise uniquely offers:

  • Assembly Line Control (ALC), which synchronizes material and production operations in manufacturing environments that build unique configurations of product on main and feeder assembly lines. These environments are often found in automotive, high tech electronics, and aerospace industries. ALC can operate across sites for true assembly line synchronization, delivering what MRP and traditional supply chain planning systems cannot.
  • A combined project and production planning system for improved bid and project profitability. Many manufacturers describe themselves as project-based, with engineer-to-order products that start with a new bid. ERP Enterprise enables you to bid confidently, tracked earned value throughout the project, and synchronize project activities with your production operations.
  • Visibility, management, and support for your global operations. Consolidate your financials across your business, prepare budgets and track performance, support strategic planning and forecasting, and get access to deep analysis and insight into all areas of your business.
  • Dynamic Enterprise Modeling (DEM) that lets you configure the system to match the way you run your business and the way your users use it. Don't accept complex menu structures that confuse and inhibit your use of the system—use DEM to define the navigation that you need to support your business processes and deliver the information you need faster.
  • The ability to run on any standard operating system, hardware platform, or database, and to run on several platforms at once in a single instance. The matchless adaptability of ERP Enterprise means that you can choose the IT environment that suits you best, or migrate to another without disruption.
  • Optional cloud-hybrid deployment, which combines the best qualities of cloud deployment and on-premises implementation. You'll get the universal availability and low hardware requirements of cloud computing along with rich connections to local hardware resources.
