Manufacturing is becoming more 𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫, and companies that leverage software are the ones that will be most successful! This is an excellent takeaway from last week's #MDMWest show in California. During my visit, I met with Kent Shearer from Cetec ERP, a cloud-based #ERP provider helping manufacturers streamline operations and bridge the skills gap with user-friendly software. One of the biggest hurdles in ERP adoption is the fear of implementation. Manufacturers worry about downtime, complexity, and cost. This was Cetec ERP advice to make 𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐫: ✅ Start small, but start now – small steps in automation drive big gains. ✅ Embrace the cloud – Scalability without costly IT overhead. ✅ Invest in training – The best ERP is one your team actually uses. A survey by 𝐀𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 found that companies who used a dedicated ERP see the following performance changes. 🔷 22% reduction in inventory levels 🔷 97% inventory accuracy 🔷 3.4 days to close a month 🔷 96% manufacturing schedule compliance 🔷 98% complete and on-time shipments If you're a company that is exploring an #ERP but doesn't know where to start, check out Cetec ERP who helped me collect this data and give me a better understanding of how they support SMBs in our industry!
