What to Look for in ERP Software for Metal Fabrication

Discover How Manufacturers Succeed with Acumatica

Manufacturers of fabricated metal products often rely on manufacturing estimates for custom product quotes. Production scheduling is complicated by machine setup, scrap, and machine capacity constraints across work centers. Co-products and by-products are common where more than one product is produced per production order or where valuable scrap such as chips and shavings can be recovered for recycling.

Fabricated metal products manufacturers using legacy ERP systems lack integration, automation, and information to boost profits, reduce costs, and improve the customer experience.

Digital transformation is a reality for fabricated metal products manufacturers across industry segments. Modern ERP applications provide mobility, cloud computing, and integrated applications for estimating, scheduling, and connectivity with external applications.

This Industry Digest provides an overview of the Fabricated Metal Products Manufacturing market with insights into the industry’s future, critical features to consider when evaluating a new ERP application, and a list of resources to get more information.
