We continue our series of blog posts exploring 10 key steps in successfully implementing an ERP solution for small-to-medium manufacturing businesses. We hope you find them useful; don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions! Small and medium-sized manufacturing businesses have specific needs and challenges, in contrast to large, enterprise-level companies. Often, you have less people monitoring more business functions: small business owners tend to wear many different hats, keeping track of the various moving parts of the company in their heads. But in order to grow effectively, all of that information needs to be tracked in such a way that everyone who needs access to it can get it.  Growing PainsAs companies grow, it’s easy to try to find the cheapest software solution to solve the problem at hand, but you can end up with a patchwork quilt of non-integrating pieces of software that don’t talk to one another, making any kind of proactive, big-picture analysis very difficult. Without an easy-to-integrate solution that covers ALL of the business tracking and measuring you need to do, you are forced to find a custom (read: expensive) workaround or end up doing more by hand than is necessary, wasting valuable company time and resources. What a growing manufacturing business needs is an expert software consultant who can help you see which pieces of your business software puzzle need to fit together and how to get the best results from them. We all know that “what you measure grows,” so growing your business and staying on top of that growth calls for the right measuring stick measuring the right KPIs. That’s why we specialize in helping manufacturing and distribution companies keep their eyes on the right indicators to maintain a healthy business. Agile SMBs One of the great benefits to being a smaller business is that you can often move quickly. We understand a new software implementation needs to be done in the most efficient way possible. By having a software partner who can not only help you find the right solutions and integrations for your business, you also gain the advantage of a speedy, successful implementation. We have a variety of training options available to help you and your team get up to speed quickly in your new software, so you can start getting the advantages of a comprehensive solution asap. The Right Solution for the JobMany enterprise-based solutions offer too many options that aren’t necessary for a small or medium sized business, increasing your investment of time and money into a solution that might not be right. We have the right-sized options for the business practices you need to monitor and can help you get it up and running, enabling you to quickly realize your ROI. We work with Exact Macola for our SMB manufacturing and distribution businesses. You can learn more about Exact Macola here.

We continue our series of blog posts exploring 10 key steps in successfully implementing an ERP solution for small-to-medium manufacturing businesses. We hope you find them useful; don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions!

By giving you some in-depth information about the process, we hope to help you smooth the way toward the perfect system for your business, today and tomorrow.  When you’re shopping for either a new ERP solution or aren’t happy with your current provider, you’ve probably done a fair bit of research. You should have an idea of what you want or need from business software (if not, check out our last blog post about Needs Analysis). You Don't Have to Do It AloneBut the best part about having a partner in the process (like Parallel Solutions) is that you don’t need a crystal ball to try and see where your company will be in the future, or a Masters degree in software engineering to find the right combination of software options for your unique business. It may be cost effective to purchase software that has functionality that you do not need today but has the ability to grow with you. Thanks to our breadth and depth of experience, The analysts at Parallel Solutions can help you understand where considering your future positioning will affect what you need from your software. Combined, we have hundreds of years’ experience working with manufacturing and distribution companies. Your Road to Success Whether you are a distributor or manufacturer that “makes to stock” or “engineer to order,” your continued growth and success is our goal. With decades of experience helping companies like yours through the process, we will work with you to tailor a solution that works with your specific processes. Let us help you consider not only today’s needs, but the possibilities that you may encounter on your road to success.
