Unlocking the Value of ERP Training with the E-Max Training Platform

Why ERP Training Matters

Investing in an ERP system is a major step towards transforming how a business operates—but the real success comes when every user can make the system work for them. ERP training ensures that staff at every level - from the shop floor to senior management - can confidently access the tools they need, streamline processes, and make better business decisions.

Beyond improving confidence, effective ERP training also supports data accuracy, cross-departmental collaboration, and faster decision-making. When everyone uses the system consistently, your business benefits from clearer visibility of performance and greater operational control.

Without proper training, companies often struggle to realise the full return on their ERP investment. Misuse, under-use, or reliance on a few “system experts” can create bottlenecks, or even single points of failure. That’s why we launched the E-Max Training Platform in 2025: to make training accessible, consistent, and practical for every E-Max ERP user.

Introducing the E-Max Training Platform

“Our Learning Centre is a new educational platform directly integrated into E-Max ERP. It enables independent learning and smoother implementation.”
Jacob Sankey, Product Delivery Manager

The E-Max Training Platform, part of our Cloud ERP solution, is available directly through each user’s login screen, making it easy to access whenever you need it. Whether you’re a new customer just getting started with E-Max ERP or a long-standing user looking to refresh your knowledge, the platform provides step-by-step support to help you get the most from your system, and take control of your learning.

Because it’s built directly into E-Max ERP, there’s no need for separate logins or third-party sites. The training platform becomes part of your everyday workflow, making learning a natural extension of how you already use the system.

The portal includes:

• Video tutorials demonstrating how to use key features.
 
 



• Webinar recordings to allow you to revisit topics at your own pace.

   



• Downloadable documents with best practices and detailed guides.

   



• Learning exercises that allow you to apply your knowledge as you go.

By combining visual, written, and interactive formats, we cater to different learning styles and ensure knowledge is retained and applied effectively.

Key Benefits of the E-Max Training Portal

1. On-demand learning

Training is available 24/7. Users don't need to wait for scheduled sessions - they can log in whenever questions arise. This means your team can stay productive and resolve queries quickly.

2. Consistency across teams

Everyone receives the same structured training. This avoids variations in how processes are carried out and ensures best practices are followed across your business.

3. Continuous improvement

As E-Max ERP evolves, so too does our training platform. Each time we release new features, we add fresh content to the portal, keeping your team up to date.

4. Faster onboarding

When new employees join, they can quickly access the platform and get up to speed without relying solely on colleagues. This reduces onboarding time and helps maintain productivity.

5. A resource for everyone

From shop floor operators using Shop Floor Data Capture (SFDC) to production staff using Scheduling and Warehouse Management (WMS) tools, and even sales staff working in Customer Relationship Management (CRM), the training covers all areas of the system. It supports not just day-to-day tasks but also strategic goals, such as embedding best practice across the business and future-proofing skills as the system evolves.

ERP Training Designed for Manufacturers

Unlike generic ERP training, the E-Max platform focuses on the realities of manufacturing and engineering. Current courses cover essential areas such as Opportunities, Sales Orders, Deliveries, Items, Companies, and Sales Invoices, alongside introductions to SFDC, Dashboards, User Profiles, and core system functions.

Each topic reflects real manufacturing and engineering processes, making the training immediately relevant—whether you’re on the shop floor or in the office. Production teams can manage scheduling and materials more effectively, sales teams can quote with confidence, and management gains visibility through accurate, real-time data.

Training is practical and outcome-driven, designed to build both confidence and capability across your business while strengthening customer relationships, production control, and order fulfilment.

Looking Ahead

The launch of the training portal is just the beginning. We’re continuing to expand the E-Max training library with new E-Max ERP learning materials, including videos, webinars, and guides throughout 2025 and beyond. Our aim is to ensure every customer has the tools, confidence, and knowledge to maximise their investment in E-Max ERP.

Features coming soon include:

• Completion tracking (percentage watched/complete) and assignments.
• Targeted new courses.
• Bespoke video service: we can produce customer-specific training videos reflecting your exact processes and place them within your Learning Centre.

We’re also gathering feedback from customers to shape future course topics, ensuring the platform continues to reflect real-world needs. Our long-term goal is to make the E-Max Training Platform the industry benchmark for ERP learning in UK manufacturing.

Accessing the Platform

All E-Max cloud users can access the training portal via their login screen.

Our on-premise customers can also access the training platform and will require an internet connection and appropriate security settings to stream hosted videos. Please speak to one of our friendly team to find out more about accessing via our on-premise solutions.
