For years, metals industry manufacturers have resigned themselves to enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions that were less than satisfactory. Prevailing opinion in the industry held that the most popular, widely supported ERP platforms were not capable of providing the industry-specific functionality they required. On the other hand, specialty ERP platforms designed specifically for metals applications were often poorly supported and incapable of interfacing smoothly – or at all – with other business systems.
A new ERP solution offers metals companies of all sizes the opportunity to dramatically enhance the way they manage their resources and business processes.
