How to choose the best ERP software for manufacturing?

Having several manufacturing ERP software products to choose from, it's important to consider that not every solution is right for every business (even if the software offers hundreds of valuable features). You must start by considering factors like your company size, the specific sector within manufacturing, complexity, budget, challenges, and needs to narrow down your options and make the right choice. After that, you must:


- Create a list of your top ERP software vendors
- Meet with vendors to clarify doubts and learn more about their products/services
- Ask about available training and implementation
- Review references from vendors' customers
- Verify whether the system is "future-proofed" and user friendly
- Compare prices, capabilities, and customer support
- Choose the vendor who understands your business and provides the ERP that meets your manufacturing requirements/needs.

What is the best way to start using manufacturing ERP software?

After relying on a proper ERP for your manufacturing processes, you'll facilitate and accelerate your organization's evolution from new product introduction to operational efficiency. That said, the best way to start using ERP software is to adapt to the constant and changing industry demands by:


• Improving Supply Chain agility
• Managing the complexity of the production plant
• Leveraging data for insights


It's worth mentioning that you must consider your vendor's training and support to learn more about the ERP functionalities and features to get the most out of the system and be ready for the constant industry changes.
