Why Plastics and Rubber Manufacturers Should Avoid Generic ERP Systems

Imagine that it's 7:00 A.M. and you've just arrived at the office. Your head spins as you survey the chaos and you haven't even had time to grab your morning coffee:

  • The costs associated with a family mold job appear to be inaccurate and you have to determine the actual costs.
  • A customer is calling about the status of his order and your manual records haven't been updated since yesterday morning.
  • There's a potential issue with the resin used in your injection molded parts and you have to determine which products are affected.

Do any of these issues sound familiar to you? It would be so much easier if everyone had access to the required information with a simple push of a button.

You might have all sorts of reasons for needing a new business system. But with so many options, how do you make the right choice?

If you're trying to decide whether a generic ERP or an industry-specific solution will do, you are not alone. Here are some tips to help you decide.
