WORK SMARTER with PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT software

In a rapidly changing environment, how can you grow your manufacturing business while managing costs and increasing profitability? In the past, traditional enterprise resource planning (ERP) software was effective. Today, enterprise management software that has been created specifically for manufacturing businesses will help you control operations, ensure the delivery of consistent quality, and take advantage of new commercial opportunities.

DISCRETE MANUFACTURING

With discrete manufacturing software, you can streamline your processes and manage your operations more effectively – from procurement and scheduling to inventory and sales – enabling you to consistently deliver innovation.

Having software that has been designed specifically for your industry gives you a competitive advantage. Whether it’s automotive manufacturing software or an ERP or MRP for furniture production you need, make sure it has been designed to address the unique challenges you face.

Eliminate inefficiencies with Sage ERP manufacturing software

Every discrete manufacturer’s processes and tracking systems are unique, as are the problems they encounter. From automotive manufacturers to creators of electrical products, it’s crucial to understand the inefficiencies and problems that undermine profits and growth potential. You need a faster, simpler, more flexible solution tailored to your specific needs.

CHALLENGES FACED BY MANUFACTURERS TODAY

Challenge #1 No real-time view
It goes without saying that you want the most up-to-date information possible when forecasting or making important financial decisions.


SOLUTION
Automating manual, error-prone financial tasks such as expense filing while processing data as soon as it becomes available for real-time insights.
Challenge #2 Siloed data
To unlock insights from this data and compete effectively in today’s markets, the ability to combine different datasets for analytics purposes is essential.

SOLUTION
Switching to a ‘data-first’ model opens significant opportunities to adapt to the buying habits of your customers while identifying overarching trends for long-term strategic development.
Challenge #3 Poor visibility
Knowing where orders and deliveries are in the supply chain is vital for maximising revenue, reducing slowdowns and improving customer experience.

SOLUTION
Cloud tech, on the other hand, offers useful insights across global supplier networks. Supplier quality management features offer real-time updates on the latest shipments, reduce costs, guarantee quality and increase customer satisfaction.
Challenge #4 Inventory control
A major challenge for many manufacturing businesses is the lack of visibility into inventory levels, caused by data silos and real-time updates – and the poor customer experience this causes.

SOLUTION
ERP provides the capability you need to keep on top of what inventory you have and what you’re expecting. Using one system for all warehouse locations avoids data silos, so you know what you truly have in stock at all times (and don’t miss out on opportunities to sell because inventory isn’t universally accessible).
Challenge #5 Technology
Manufacturers suffer due to legacy systems that silo data, reduce collaboration and can’t provide real-time visibility into key design and production processes.

SOLUTION
Cloud-based predictive maintenance uses Internet of Things (IoT) sensors to collect data on your equipment. By doing so, it can alert you in advance of potential breakdowns so you can fix issues quickly. This can save hours or days of unexpected downtime and keep the production of new products efficient.
