( votes)The complexity of a multi-company and/or multi-facility company can make your head spin. The sheer number of independent databases and systems required to generate a consolidated report can lead to an incredible amount of wasted time to ensure data is accurate and consistent.
What if this could all be eliminated? No, not the reporting, but the juggling between systems and guesswork around what information is accurate. By moving away from a combination of systems and towards a comprehensive ERP environment, manufacturing and distribution companies can see incredible impacts on their operational efficiencies.
