Manufacturing
Control, coordinate, and manage every aspect of your operations in one place.
Industry Trends
Manufacturers are amid massive digital disruption, which means you need technology to enable continuous improvement, agility, and scalability. A manufacturing ERP allows manufacturers to combine systems tailored to their industry, providing a comprehensive overview of their operations. This integration facilitates collaboration with internal teams, suppliers and warehouses.
- Digital smart products and solutions
Product and service innovation helps manufacturers differentiate themselves. Some of them provide digital capabilities and value-added services that are bundled with physical products. - Service-based business models
From selling products, manufacturers are shifting to providing complete solutions and charging for outcomes. This can result in more revenue, a goal for manufacturers who wants higher profit margins and increased customer intimacy. - Sustainability and circularity
Manufacturers reuse, refurbish, remanufacture, and recycle parts and products nowadays. Not just for sustainability, but they can be profitable too.
