An ERP system is essential for the manufacturing industry because it centralises and streamlines all business processes, improving efficiency and accuracy. It integrates various functions like production planning, inventory management, procurement, finance, and human resources into one cohesive system. This integration allows for real-time data access and better decision-making, reducing errors and delays.

How Access Manufacturing ERP Software can help you
Visibility and control
Access ERP manufacturing software delivers unparalleled visibility and control by offering a single source of truth for your entire business. With seamless integrations between different functions and centralised dashboards with real-time data and analytics, you’ll have an accurate picture of what’s actually happening in your business.

Our software also allows controlled access to external teams, granting your customers access to delivery and quality performance reports and dashboards, fostering transparency and collaboration across every step of the customer journey.
Efficiency and reduced costs
Our manufacturing ERP software helps you drive productivity and make costs savings across your business. For example:
- With streamlined and automated processes, you reduce and eliminate manual tasks, repetitive tasks, duplicate data entry – this reduces the likelihood of errors and delays
- Better stock management reduces cash tied up in inventory, improving cash flow
- Better production planning processes save time and help you identify bottlenecks and waste – whether a machine is under or over utilised, whether better use of labour across production could reduce overtime overheads
- Improved visibility and communication between departments leads to a more joined up approach to tackling challenges and maximising opportunities. Combined with accurate, real-time data, this supports faster decision making
- Improved customer relationships from being able to provide accurate lead times and quality assurance (QA) required
Quality and data-driven decision making
One of the biggest challenges manufacturers tell us about is having information on paper or spreadsheets, or in separate disjointed systems. Doubts on the accuracy of data or how up to date it is is also a concern.
Our manufacturing ERP software digitises and automates processes, and facilitates integration between different systems, for example MRP and finance, streamlining operations and supporting you to achieve unparalleled efficiency.
You can analyse company-wide data with the confidence that it is accurate and available in real-time. This allows you to truly understand business and operational performance, for smarter decisions on strategy, opportunities for growth, costs savings and improvement activities.

MRP or Manufacturing ERP software, which is best for you?
One of the deciding factors when deciding between ERP and MRP systems used to be company size, but nowadays most ERP systems are modular, which brings down the cost and enables you to choose only the functionality you need, with the ability to add further modules as required. Budget can still be an important consideration for some businesses though.
Understanding which processes you want to automate and monitor and manage centrally is also important. MRP software is manufacturing-focused, whereas ERP software covers wider business departments such as HR and finance. So if you only have gaps in supplier and stock management and production control for example, MRP may be the right solution for you.
Finally, visibility and reporting requirements can be a deciding factor. While only a full ERP system offers a truly holistic view of your company, most MRP systems offer integrations with other software packages such as finance, which may be all that your business needs.

What's the difference between ERP and MRP software?
MRP and ERP software both help you to run your business more efficiently by automating and integrating internal processes, for better visibility of operational performance.
The key difference between the two is scope: MRP has a narrow manufacturing-centric focus, while ERP has a business-wide focus, encompassing functions including HR, finance, CRM, production.
What are the 3 common types of ERP?
The three common types of ERP systems are:
On-Premise ERP: On-premise systems are installed on your business's own servers and hardware infrastructure, giving you full control over the software and data. You are responsible for delivering and resourcing updates and upgrades, installation and customisation, security, maintenance and ongoing support. This option requires significant upfront investment in infrastructure and IT.
Cloud ERP: Cloud ERP systems are hosted and managed by a third-party provider. The software is delivered over the internet, so access is through web browsers or dedicated apps. Infrastructure management, including updates, backups, and security is handled by the provider. This option offers lower upfront costs, scalability, and accessibility from anywhere with an internet connection.
Hybrid ERP: Hybrid ERP systems combine elements of both on-premises and cloud ERP. Some functionality of the ERP system may be hosted in the cloud, while others remain on-premise. With this approach you can leverage the benefits of both deployment models, such as flexibility, scalability, and control over sensitive data. This option is popular with businesses who require some processes to remain on-premise for regulatory compliance, security concerns, or legacy systems integration.
