All three ERP systems are designed specifically for process manufacturers. The two SAP Business One solutions are priced for SMB sized businesses. ($5 M t/o p.a. AUD – ~$50 M t/o p.a. AUD) Many of the capabilities in Sage X3 ERP will only be capitalized on by larger enterprises, companies in the SME space who have more advanced and mature business system requirements.

Manufacturing Execution systems (MES)
Both Sage X3 ERP and BatchMaster for SAP Business One work with various process manufacturing MES systems for streamlined real time production and “ERP” data exchanges.
Recipes & Formulas
Manage the following:
- Revisions
- An effective from date
- Compliance
- Allergens
- Super batches
- Hazardous materials handling
- Formulate independently of Bills of material
- Physical properties
Material Requirement Planning & Master Production Scheduling
The three process manufacturing ERP systems from CitySoft offer flexible scheduling capabilities and work-centre management that improves production through-put by reducing machine preparation (washdown & set up) times such as allergens, flavours and colours.
Optionally, include LYNQ Manufacturing Execution system software (MES) with SAP Business One or Sage X3 ERP for real-time visibility into the performance of your manufacturing operations across the board. MES extends the ERP to optimise manufacturing operations with data collection, from both employees and machines, providing insight into where efficiencies can be made.
The three systems offer flexible master production scheduling horizons and comprehensive material requirement planning. Sage X3 ERP excels when there are multiple production sites and when there are inter-site transfers.
Smart Machines & Integrations
The ERP systems for process manufacturers sold and supported by CitySoft utilise modern Web technologies that enable seamless exchanges of data between smart machines and the ERP system. Timely data exchanges supports faster and more informed management decision making. Popular ERP integrations include Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS), and EDI. Unlike most of the entry level accounting systems with add on manufacturing products purporting to be end to end ERP systems for manufacturers the systems sold and supported by CitySoft do not rely on old fashion data importing and exporting routines to move data between systems. CitySoft utilise Web Services, API’s and GraphQL technologies to create secure, automated integrations.
