With Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP, you can check availability and commit orders confidently using dynamic CTP (capable-to-promise planning). Analyze material requirements with a graphical pegging tool and leverage dynamic MRP (material requirements planning) to plan materials instantly. You can also automatically search for material and capacity problems, identify scheduling issues and enact solutions quickly to meet your delivery dates.

Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP provides the tools you need to accurately control inventory transactions, product costs and material usage. It gives you instant access to real-time data so you can track inventory levels by item, location, product family, and historical usage—all at the click of a button. You can also perform cycle counting, physical inventories and costing information analysis. Complete cradle-to-grave tracking of multi-level serial numbers also aids compliance with traceability regulations.

Control production costs and manage resources more efficiently with Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP’s flexible engineering management tools. Create multiple visual bills of material (BOMs) for each item, maintaining complete revision and effective date control to track and control engineering changes. Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP also enables you to generate and maintain flexible routings with multiple routings versions per part number.

Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP allows you to track and monitor work orders, production status, and material and equipment capacity in real time. With the Shop Floor Data Collection (SFDC) tool, you can use barcode mobile scanners to efficiently track material issues, work order receipts, inventory movements, and labor transactions as they occur on the shop floor.

Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP supports complete inspection procedures - from raw materials to work-in-process to customer returns - and helps you maintain calibration and maintenance data on instruments used in production.

Generate more accurate forecasts with the click of a mouse—no knowledge of statistics or forecasting required. Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP can calculate forecasts automatically by analyzing your usage data and selecting the optimal forecasting technique from a range of methods. If you’d rather dictate your own approach, the system provides a full selection of forecasting models and all the diagnostic aids you need to create forecasts yourself.

Maximize the efficiency of your salesforce with Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP’s user-friendly quoting and order processing features. Within the system’s quoting module, you can configure new items, BOMs and routings on-the-fly; apply customer-specific or volume discounts; and generate vendor Requests for Quote (RFQs) for any line on a quote. Automatically convert quotes to sales orders, and easily maintain sales orders of all levels of complexity with an electronic hierarchical approval system. You can even process point-of-sale purchases and maintain price matrices from within the system.

With Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP’s built-in CRM, you can manage customer data, opportunities, marketing campaigns and support incidents on a single platform, while ensuring alignment with the financial and order processing data in your ERP. You can easily manage contact and account information, view current and historical status data and link appointments, documents, emails and activities to specific customers or opportunities. And the system allows you to create detailed records of every support incident, calculate the costs associated with incident resolution, track warranties and manage service contracts.

With Shop Floor Manager, you can track labor and inventory transactions on the shop floor in real time. The tool provides supervisors with at-a-glance visibility into production priorities, order status, work center loads and employee utilization. For work center operators, Shop Floor Manager provides an intuitive, touch-enabled dashboard that allows them to clock in and out of work orders and report work order completion and material movements from a mobile device.
