The metal industry is characterized by rapid changes and fierce competition. Ever-shifting supply chains and multiple routes to market require manufacturers to be agile and ready for changing conditions and opportunities. Your business needs streamlined operations, efficient production processes, and real-time information for critical decision-making. It’s the only way to gain agility, minimize costs, and win against competitors that rely on cheap labour.
A Forbes study found that 90% of businesses recognize the importance of technology, but only 40% believe they have the best tools. As the economy swings wildly, metal manufacturers must ensure they select technologies that simplify business processes, improve efficiency and productivity, and scale as they grow. The increased demand from consumers for more personalized products also requires more agility. With more opportunities organisations need excellent visibility into their supply chain, lead time information, inventory levels, production capacity, and delivery capabilities. By integrating your various business functions into one ERP system, you can:
- Automate core processes, saving time and money
- Lower operational costs with more effective inventory and production management
- Streamline and simplify data management (no more manual reconciliations!)
- Analyse performance in real-time so you can optimize production processes and be more competitive
- Improve customer satisfaction by ensuring good quality products reach them on time.
