Lots of Company Data But No Real Insights?
Having all your company’s data in one place and obtaining meaningful information from it is what we all aspire to when running a business. With today’s technology, it should be easy yet many businesses struggle to control their data. With countless spreadsheets, systems and manual workarounds employed across multiple departments, we seem to be making life harder for ourselves than we need to.
Nowadays companies collect huge volumes of information but don’t necessarily see results from this.How best can improvements in efficiency be tracked? Are there still inaccuracies and uncertainties across manufacturing times, delivery schedules and costs? There must be an easier way.
E-Max ERP gives your business the answers it needs to grow
Fortunately, there is, ERP has been designed to remove the pain and provide you with one simple system to collect, store and process all the data you need to make informed decisions in both day to day and longer-term business operations. Take back control of your company functions, not least your orders, purchasing and most importantly, invoicing! E-Max ERP is very flexible, allowing you to use as much or as little as you like. You can implement it across every department or, like some of our manufacturing customers, choose to simply use the MRP functionality that sits at the core of the software.

With E-Max Your Business Can
Improve Operational Efficiency
E-Max ERP enables you to streamline your processes and increase efficiency across your entire business. We’ve worked with hundreds of companies to determine best practice processes and have built our knowledge of these into our software to maximise your efficiency.
With E-Max ERP, data is entered only once and is pulled through the system as the job progresses, eliminating duplication of effort, manual errors and paperwork. Our team of experienced consultants will work with you to identify other areas where business process improvements can be made. This could be as simple as moving the location of a frequently used tool to a more complex process change involving a new sequence of tasks but either way will allow your business to enjoy the benefits from increased production efficiency.
Enjoy Accurate Real Time Reporting
Enable better and faster decision making with E-Max ERP. Replacing complicated spreadsheets or outdated legacy systems with an integrated system like E-Max ERP gives you access to accurate information in real time. Bring everything together in one easy-to-read dashboard and get the information you need at a glance.
Reports are generated at the touch of a button so you’ll always know exactly what’s happening within your business. It’s easy to spot current and future trends, leading to improvements in forecasting and giving your business the ability to respond quickly to changes in demand. With this information always on hand, you are another step closer to future proofing your business.
Optimise Inventory
Inventory is one of the greatest expenses within a business and optimising stock levels will have a major positive impact on cash flow. E-Max ERP gives you greater control of your inventory, so you can benefit from reduced stock holding, greater buying efficiencies and fewer delivery costs.
Track the turnover of parts or materials, set automatic reorder levels to prevent stock shortages, identify excess inventory, and even make decisions on suitable locations for your stock, based on use and demand, resulting in better inventory organisation, improved efficiency and productivity gains in the warehouse. Optimising your inventory levels will also improve your cash flow.
Increase Visibility
Having 360 visibility across your company is the single greatest ERP software benefit. With E-Max ERP, you have complete access to every important process within your business so you know precisely what is happening. This enables you to track every job going through your business, from start to finish, and spot problem areas or bottlenecks.
With all information contained within a single system, senior management and relevant employees can access the data they need and make decisions based on the company-wide complete picture. Workflows are smoother and more efficient with increased visibility.
Reduce Lead Times & Increase Production Output
Optimise your production operations with better planning and scheduling. Production scheduling is a key benefit of ERP software and enables your manufacturing process to flow efficiently whilst balancing your production needs with available resources.
With E-Max ERP’s scheduling functionality, you can maximise your resources, whilst reducing downtime of machines, tools and labour. Manage your routes and create bills of materials (BOM). E-Max ERP uses this information, in conjunction with other data from the system, to schedule the most efficient order of production, factoring in stock, resource and customer delivery requirements.
Increase Customer Satisfaction
Quality and reliability are both key factors for customer retention so your ERP software must drive improvements across these areas to keep your customers happy.
Delivery in Full on Time (DIFOT) – reliability - will always be a key requirement for customers. E-Max ERP differs from other ERP software in that, once a delivery date is agreed with a customer, the order is ‘pulled’ through the system to meet that date. The software flags any delays or problems so action can be taken to get the job back on track. With these accurate delivery dates, you can stay on track whilst managing your customer expectations.
Reduce Costs
Having full visibility of all costs and the ability to track these is a major benefit of ERP software and prevents costly mistakes from being made. E-Max ERP allows you to set budgets and track actual costs over specific time frames and gives you a greater understanding and control over the true operational costs generated by your business.
Our software calculates and collates costs across jobs and projects so that you can determine the profitability of each of these. Analyse forecast and actual costs and take immediate action if deviations occur to prevent unexpected budget overruns. Track your material and labour costs in real time and attribute them to specific jobs. Save on purchasing costs by buying more efficiently, using forecast data to negotiate and consolidate orders. Identify high cost items to be targeted for greater discounts. Reduce your administration and operations costs with the streamlined processes that ERP encourages and enjoy the results this has on your bottom line.
Gain a Competitive Advantage
Manufacturing is not a level playing field and you need to give your company competitive advantage in every way possible. An ERP system gives you accurate and timely information on which you can make the decisions that will enable your company to flourish and grow but, more importantly, helps you to avoid making costly mistakes that could seriously damage your business.
A further benefit of ERP software is that your business becomes more competitive as you drive down your costs. Scrapping the inefficiencies of previous processes will save on cost and resource, both of which can be reallocated to more productive areas. With a greater understanding of costs and your margins, you can determine which jobs you can undertake profitably and be more selective in the work you take on.
Better Customer Management
Knowing your customers is a critical success factor for any business. With E-Max ERP you can see all your customer information, activities and history enabling your team to spot trends, identify sales opportunities and even anticipate the needs of your customers before they do. Segment your customers into key audiences and target them more effectively. Set automated reminders so you never miss a call.
With all your customer information contained within one system, a much clearer picture of them emerges. Data is stored in a central place, not in the heads of your sales team. Anyone in your business can find details on customer orders and status, improving communication and speeding up response times. Reporting is easy with an ERP system, with sales reports and forecasts available at any time.
