Focus on Financials: Comprehensive ERP and Financial Management for a Manufacturing Competitive Advantage

The manufacturing enterprise benefits from comprehensive, real-time financial tracking, analysis and reporting of accounts receivable, customer credit management, receipts and other activities. It's a strong disadvantage if the organization uses stand-alone spreadsheet systems to track purchasing, receiving, shipping, accounts payable, collections and other areas. With stand-alone and manually intensive systems, the challenges include tedious tracking and maintenance of physical documents like invoices; lack of visibility into financial record-keeping such as tracking payables and receivables; a high likelihood of introducing error via duplicate data-entry; and other issues.
