GENERIC VS MANUFACTURING SPECIFIC ERP

The basic outline of a generic Enterprise Resource Planning or ERP solution includes: one software solution which brings together all core business processes into a single-centralized location, thus, eliminating data silos, pesky spreadsheets, and the chaos of various applications across different departments. All ERP systems operate in real-time and provide a consistent ‘look and feel’ for all end-users.

There are many generic ERP solutions which are built solely for accounting and finance, or warehouse and supply chain management, or even just for government and non-profit organizations. Most ‘front-office’ functions, such as such as Customer Relationship Management (CRM), e-Commerce, Supply Chain Management (SCM), and Business Intelligence (BI) are included in these generic solutions. Additionally, there will be the basic core modules such as General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Payroll, and Human Resources (HR).

Manufacturers need all these functions, but they also need so much more. The industry-specific ERP solution for Manufacturing is specifically designed for the manufacturing industry, providing advanced functionality for manufacturing-specific needs. Manufacturing ERP software integrates core business processes with manufacturing processes, allowing full visibility and control over a manufacturing business.
