An ERP (SYSPRO) can help remove potential barriers preventing companies from adopting smart manufacturing practices. Smart manufacturing practices are part of manufacturers’ overall digital transformation journey and encompass technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), IIoT, cloud and mobile applications.

An ERP manufacturing system helps connect all aspects of a company for optimal visibility. Manufacturing is separate from operations, sales, and accounting in many companies. With an ERP manufacturing system, companies can integrate the entire manufacturing value chain, including material requirements planning (MRP), master production schedule, manufacturing operations management, engineering change control, and traceability.

Manufacturers seeking productivity gains should invest in an ERP manufacturing system as the cornerstone of their digital transformation initiatives. A recent survey commissioned by SYSPRO and conducted by Frost & Sullivan highlights the need for technology enhancements throughout complex manufacturing processes. However, several challenges stand in the way of adopting all possible digital transformation initiatives. Let’s explore these challenges, examine the state of complex manufacturing today, and discuss why an ERP manufacturing system can solve many of these challenges.

SYSPRO resellers are business partners who provide end customers with valuable software and services. They become your main point of contact during the evaluation and purchasing process. If you’re looking for an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system and are considering SYSPRO, resellers should play an important role in your decision-making process. Here’s why.

Production scheduling has changed significantly over the years, and companies using an ERP manufacturing system to handle scheduling benefit from the enhanced efficiencies such platforms provide. If you tried to use scheduling systems years ago but found them limiting, newer ones built into modern ERP manufacturing systems will be a pleasant surprise.

Your ERP manufacturing system already contains some form of AI. Certain types of artificial intelligence (AI) have been used for the past several years to augment ERP manufacturing systems, enabling them to process documents and transactions efficiently, and provide predictive analytics. What’s new to these systems is generative AI (GenAI), which provides intuitive, conversational interfaces. Integrating all three types of AI with your ERP manufacturing system brings many opportunities to tap into the data within the ERP to improve process efficiency, forecasting abilities, and automation.

Sage 300 2024 updates were released to customers starting in September 2023. These updates included new features, such as eInvoicing and HR integrations, as well as improved web screens, project and job costing screens, and much more. Below is an overview of the latest Sage 300 updates.

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) for manufacturing provides powerful software to maximize sales opportunities. One such opportunity lies within your company’s data. ERPs collect a large amount of data from everywhere in the company, enabling 360-degree visibility into all aspects of production, operations, sales, and distribution.

However, leveraging such data to find untapped sales is something that many manufacturers neglect. Are you leaving money on the table by not using your ERP for manufacturing to its fullest?

Artificial intelligence (AI) has changed the business landscape and how people work. This cutting-edge technology is responsible for transforming company operations, improving decision-making, and creating more personalized customer service. Specifically, AI positively impacts the CFO’s work in several ways and can potentially boost the company’s return on investment (ROI). Continue reading to discover how CFOs can use AI to make a difference in their organizations.

For some people, the idea of artificial intelligence (AI) in the workplace immediately brings to mind negative thoughts. They picture a scenario where "the machines have taken over," similar to the plot of the Terminator films. The truth is much more favorable for humans: we are collaborating with AI to perform several jobs, but there is no reason to believe that we must worry about Cyberdyne Systems running everything and humans having to go underground in real life.
