7 Critical Modules Every Manufacturing ERP for SMEs Must Have
To compete in today’s market, a “basic” system isn’t enough. Your factory needs a solution that understands the shop floor as well as the office.
1. Complex Bill of Materials (BOM) Management
Stop wasting time on manual data entry. Our manufacturing ERP software for SMEs allows for multi-level BOM management. Whether you are dealing with hundreds of sub-assemblies or simple components, SolutionsERP ensures your material requirements are always accurate and linked to real-time stock levels.
2. Intelligent Production Planning (MRP)
Optimise your stock levels and avoid costly downtime. We support diverse production scenarios:
- Make to Order (MTO)
- Make to Stock (MTS)
- Engineer to Order (ETO) Our system facilitates simplified Materials Requirement Planning (MRP), automating material requisitions based on actual production plans and lead times.
3. Real-Time Shop Floor Control and Job Cards
Track progress as it happens. With digital Job Cards and Workstations, your team can record time and materials directly on the shop floor using tablets. This provides managers with instant visibility into work-in-progress (WIP) and potential bottlenecks.
4. Accurate Cost Tracking (Plan vs. Actual)
Do you know exactly how much each product costs you to make? SolutionsERP tracks raw materials, labour costs, and overheads. By comparing planned costs against actual production data, you can identify inefficiencies and protect your margins.
5. Quality Control and Full Traceability
Compliance with industry standards like ISO 9001 is easier than ever. Our built-in quality control tools allow for rigorous checkpoints at any stage of production. With 100% traceability—including serial and batch numbers—you can record every transaction with full contextual information.
6. Maintenance and Asset Management
Minimise machine downtime. Our manufacturing ERP software for SMEs includes preventative maintenance scheduling. Track the health of your machinery, schedule service tasks, and ensure that your production line never stops unexpectedly.
7. Supplier Scorecards and Subcontracting
Managing external vendors is simple with our integrated procurement tools. Use Supplier Scorecards to analyse performance and automate the subcontracting process, ensuring that materials sent to external partners are tracked just as accurately as your internal stock.
Intelligent Inventory Management and Production Planning
Optimise your stock levels and avoid costly downtime. Our solutions offer advanced raw material planning functions for diverse production scenarios, whether you operate on a “Made to Order,” “Made to Stock,” or “Engineer to Order” basis.
