ERP Software for Manufacturing
Top ERP Software for Manufacturing – from food to electronics, equipment and various products – closely watch their process flow, inventory and job costing, among other things, to operate more efficiently and thereby improve profitability.

Ostendo ERP software for manufacturing, when plugged into an existing accounting software provides advanced inventory, job costing, manufacturing, service, preventive maintenance, mobility, distribution and dynamic reporting. To date, many manufacturers have found it to be the right fit for their needs.
ERP Software for Manufacturing Benefits:
Save costs & time
Ostendo ERP is capable of forecasting inventory and managing replenishment and suggested orders to meet demand (Master Production Schedule). To attain efficiencies in production operations, acquisition of materials (Bill Of Materials) must take into account incoming sales orders as well as stock on hand and other historical inventory data available (Work In Progress) that may show seasonal inventory needs. Capturing all the necessary data and having an effective system in place helps in consolidating purchasing of similar parts to be used for multiple jobs to achieve economies of scale. It pays to know what, when and how much to order and which vendor to purchase from to eliminate waste and not miss any opportunity in the market.
Improved customer service
If it is properly designed and controlled, the MRP enhances customer service through reducing late orders. This leads to increased production levels and it assists the company to respond quicker to any variations in demand.
Gain real-time business intelligence
Management and production operations staff can create forecasts, tweak schedules and see every part of the chain in one place. If demand increases, MRP makes it much easier to see the timescales it may take for any kind of adjustment in the procurement, production, or distribution processes – whether the requirement is to ‘make to order’, ‘make to stock’ or future planned purchasing or production – to keep up with the load.

It allows me to do real time costing for jobs in hand, allows pre-allocation of parts to jobs so that on receipt of parts they are automatically allocated to the job. From Direct invoicing to sales orders (for buy-ins) to job allocation, the simplicity of Ostendo makes it easy therefore, more efficient in time management.
