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.
