Best Practices for Manufacturers Embracing the Cloud

Posted by Rob Van der Velden on Aug 31, 2023 6:02:16 PM

 

 

In the manufacturing industry, efficiency and adaptability are paramount. However, many small to medium-sized businesses struggle because they are using several different applications to manage their day-to-day operations. Inadequate and outdated software can have a huge impact on not just the productivity of manufacturing businesses, but also their decision-making capabilities and flexibility in unpredictable markets.

Instead of adding new applications to your already complicated system, it’s beneficial to invest in a comprehensive solution that covers the whole supply chain. This is particularly useful if your current applications are incompatible and you have limited visibility of vital business information. Manufacturing businesses of all sizes can transform how they do things by simply introducing NetSuite’s ERP solution. This cloud-based system can help you overcome common challenges experienced throughout the manufacturing industry.

Below we have explored why so many businesses are embracing cloud ERP systems and the benefits of swapping your tangled web of applications for one singular system. For anyone new to ERP solutions, we have also put together some advice for making the switch to NetSuite.

Should Manufacturing Companies Invest In A Cloud-Based ERP?

Posted by Rob Van der Velden on Oct 10, 2022 4:52:02 PM

It isn’t uncommon for small and medium-sized manufacturing companies to use several different systems and applications to operate their business. Often, they will purchase new applications every time an issue occurs too, rather than simply upgrading their whole system, and these applications won’t all be integrated into one another. Over time, this results in their operating system becoming unnecessarily complicated and there’s a high chance that it will still lack the capabilities they need to improve day-to-day efficiency.

Understandably, manufacturing companies may be concerned about upgrading their software, whether this is due to the cost of doing so or the disruption that getting used to a new system can cause. However, it’s almost always worthwhile upgrading to a single, flexible, cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system like NetSuite. An integrated ERP solution has several benefits and NetSuite can have a huge impact on your business processes.

Below we have looked into some of the biggest signs that you shouldn’t put off upgrading your outdated system to a modern cloud-based solution such as NetSuite.
